Purchase two pairs. This wonderland version and a gold pair for smaller ears. Such a difference in quality I attached a picture to show that the ones for smaller years have significantly thicker plastic. The ones on the wonderland feel thin and flimsy the case on the wonderland one is squeaky thin and flimsy as well the rubber seal protrudes out when you close it it feels cheaply made. I'm actually pretty pissed off that I spent 40 bucks on these ear plugs. Now there opened and can't return this bad product. Don't buy the wonderland versions just buy the regular one they're cutting cost on this one. Thanks eargasim for ripping me off. Look at the pictures I attached you can see clear as day the case is thicker on the gold and the plastic is significantly thicker

Does not work. Move on.
I do not know where any positive reviews come from. These Eargasms do not work at all. In my opinion, they are a poor product. A $0.99 foam earplug offers more protection from loud noise, such as in a concert environment. I recommend you do not buy these.

Not as advertised
Didn't even use. Listing shows 21db noise reduction, which isn't a large amount to begin with, but the product sold is only 16db listed right on the product box. Returned as at 16db in a concert setting, isn't much protection at all

Useful and great quality.
Somehow I feel like these were supposed to work differently? Better? They certainly do take the edge off some sounds, but I feel like they mess with my ability to do any professional sound leveling because they just feel like cotton in your ears and I can't accurately judge the sound. I'm sure they'll be great ongoing for concerts, but not the live music I work with every night. Realistically however, I'm just glad I have something that's going to save my long-term hearing by siphoning out some of the damaging frequencies. Cute little carrying case, too, so I can clip them to my keys or my bag and the metal screw container mechanism is sturdy enough to not worry about it coming open and losing our damaging them. 4/5 stars only for my misfired expectations.

Saves Your Hearing
I used these tonight at the Megadeth show and wow!! I could hear everything perfectly and after the show, NO RINGING EARS!!
I wish I had used these years ago. Highly recommend.

Saved my ears at the rail! Amazing sound clarity, comfort, and stay put.
I bought these Eargasm earplugs specifically to head to a rave, and they worked absolutely amazing. I spent a good chunk of the night right up at the rail where the sound is the most intense, and for the first time ever, my ears weren't hurting or ringing the next day.
The sound quality is incredible. They didn't muffle the music at all—everything still sounded clear, punchy, and loud, but they cut out that super crazy, overwhelming volume that usually leaves you deaf for 24 hours. The best part was that the acoustic filters perfectly dialed down the background noise, so I was actually able to hear my friends talk to me easily without anyone having to scream at the top of their lungs.
They are also incredibly comfortable and secure. Even with heavy headbanging and dancing for hours, they stayed in my ears perfectly fine and never felt like they were going to slip out. Honestly, I forgot I even had them in my ears at times.
If you go to festivals or raves and want to protect your hearing without ruining the music experience, these are worth every single penny. ( Even in the picture, you can see the strings, so you know that's a real review)

Works But Painful
Unfortunately, the internal part that provides noise reduction is too large, at least for my ears. I wore these on a multi-day trip and found that they were difficult to get in my ears ( I am a retired health and safety professional so I know how to install them). I used the the smaller set of inserts, but once I removed the internal part I could see that it was quite large which was the main reason the plugs wouldn'tgo far enoughinto my ear canal. I ended up with a very sore right ear and broken skin. On the up side they seemed to reduce unwanted noise without the low frequency rumble and I could hear my surroundings quite well. The material that the outer surface is made of is not good. It's a clear silicone which is a bit tacky making it difficult to insert and stay in. I wish I had worn these for an extended period before a week ago. I could have returned them.

Wouldn't not recommend, two pairs didn't work for me
Be aware when buying these eargasm earlights. I received my first pair and couldn't get them to turn on, all I get is a little, dim, red light. After swapping around batteries only one turned on by sheer luck. The batteries weren't the issue, because it wasn't the battery that would make it turn on, it was putting the battery in at the absolute perfect angle (couldn't do it again)
So I ordered a replacement pair and the same issue is persisting. Staying away from these is probably a safer bet, especially for the $65 price

Concert Purchase
Bought these for a Country festival in WWNJ. Slightly disappointed in the difference in pkg between the 2. The electric forest which was the more expensive came in a box that resembles a vap. The additional size plugs were just set in a divider. The standard blue came nicely boxed with magnetic closure. The additional sz silicone plugs came individually wrapped with an overall much nicer presentation. But let’s see how the main reason for this purchase works while at BCMF.

Enormous Upgrade Relative to Traditional Foam
I wore these out to an all nighter at a big loud EDM club and I was WOWed at the experience upgrade between these and standard foam earplugs. Most importantly, I felt comfortable standing up front near the speakers and I did not miss out on the nuances of the music despite the "hurty' sounds being filtered.
My one gripe is that they aren't so easy to take out once they are placed properly in your ear canal. The pull tab is short and feels flimsy. That ended up not being a problem because once I put them in I never had to take them out to have a conversation, even in quieter areas so I didn't need to take them in and out like I would with traditional plugs.
This item comes with two sizes for different users. I am an woman and I used the smaller one and it tucked in snugly. You couldn't really see the color super well once they're fitted in tightly so don't stress yourself out with color choices.

Disappointed honestly
I decided to splurge on these EDC version eargasms since I've heard great things about the brand and loved the color in the pictures, but I was pretty let down here...
These guys are SILVER. Not teal and pink. They're rainbow iridescent when light bounces off, but a dull silver metal otherwise. What?? The color coating is also very fragile - it scuffed while just trying to swap into the smaller plugs.
If you have tiny ear holes, look elsewhere! Even with the smaller plugs they kept wiggling out of my head when I took them to their inaugural rave. Unless I pushed them extra far in, then they suctioned in and hurt to remove.
The sound itself is really good! They're loved by concert-goers for a reason. The music sounds way more clear, reduces the bass smashing your eardrums, and muffles crowd chatter unless someone speaks right into your ear.
Wish I would have gotten the rainbow or supernova color, at least those would be pretty while rolling around on the floor after falling out.

Fantastic Ear Protection
I'm a musician that plays quite regularly, often times, the stages I'm playing on the volume is quite loud (90db+). I have found that the older I'm getting, the more I realize how I need to protect my hearing. With these I can noticeably tell that the volume is decreased to the point I can now hear the music, but I don't leave with ringing ears at the end of an evening. It's different from a lot of the ear protection I've worn in the past such as rifle earplugs. Those block out all of the sound, and makes it almost impossible to play. For those of you who are not musicians, but go to concerts, or events with loud sounds, I highly recommend Eargasms. Protect your ears now, so you don't have to worry about not hearing later. Keep them on you keychain so you are never without them!

Great Ear Plugs
Highly recommend! Very comfortable and barely noticeable. I have hearing loss and constant tinnitus so I had high hopes that these would benefit me. After 2 1/2 hours of sixth row seats at the Sammy Hagar concert, I can honestly say, they worked amazingly. No extreme tinnitus or distorted hearing afterwards as in the past. The music was still clear and very enjoyable without the annoying after effects.

Seems good so far!
My first impressions are positive, I turned up my stereo all the way and blasted some music with these in. The sound quality remained good but the volume was reduced from defeaning to comfortable. When I took them out I couldn’t believe how loud it was and had to turn it down quick.
I only wish I had these at the last metal show I went to instead of some NRR 29 foam ones I got work, those muffled everything and made it too quiet and I couldn’t understand a word the singer was saying (it wasn’t growl metal) so I ended up taking those foam ones out and my ears rang for two days.. very unpleasant.
Looking forward to next time with these!
P.S. I thought the carrying case looked REALLY big in the pictures but I’m happy to see that it’s quite compact.

Works well just a bit pricey
It comes with a box and many things. But if you boil down to it $40 = a pair of good ear plugs you hope you won’t lose when you go out. It reduces noise but you can still hear your friend talking to you. I just hope I never lose it.

Extremely Comfortable and Great Customer Service
I bought a few sets of Eargasm earplugs for my group leading to our first rave. We've been to various concerts and not used earplugs, but I wanted to be more prepared this time around.
I can say 100% that these earplugs made the experience much better. The music sounded great, volume was comfortable, and I could hear conversations clearly when outside the stage areas. I wore them for about 9 hours straight and had zero issues, including no "ear ringing" the next day.
Adding to this was the experience with customer service. I unfortunately lost my case for the earplugs during the event, so I reached out to Eargasm customer service to see what my options were. The representative I spoke to was very understanding and provided a one-time replacement at no cost!
Overall, I'm extremely pleased with the quality of both the product and company. There is certainly a markup to the product, but I believe it's a case of "you get what you pay for".

Works great!
Seems to work good. Came with two sizes for ear canals. One large and one small. In the plugs their are filters. Also came with a little jar that holds the ear plugs for you and you can attach to sayyyy a key chain which is where I have mine since I use it for when I ride my motorcycle at high speeds.
I definitely notice a huge difference when I used them vs not.

Excellent for Concerts and Night Clubs
I use these literally every time I go out to a dance club night and large rock concerts. It's so nice being able to leave the event and have a conversation with friends at a normal volume because you are deafened from the event.
The case is super convenient. I got these in March 2022, so I've had them just over a year now, and I've only had one incident of the case coming unscrewed on its own. I wear these on a carabiner keychain every day, so that's impressive. I also like the 2 sizes they send. My ear canals are small and the smaller ones fit nicely.
My only complaint is that the cute rainbow pattern on the filters themselves has peeled totally off now. Leaving me with just white. I like a cute splash of color in my ears.
I wish I had started wearing this kind of ear protection when I was in my 20s rather than later in my 30s. As I'm nearing 40, I noticed just how much hearing loss I had. This is at least preventing further damage.

Great Earplugs
I play guitar (mostly electric) and have been to 325+ live concerts. My hearing is a low buzz now. These are the best earplugs. Are they perfect...no because you have to balance noise with music levels.
I can play guitar and sing and hear both pretty well. Of course you are blocking out the loudness... and therefore you are missing sound nuances. I used to put cotton or foam earplugs for rock concerts (and Nuggets games get really loud). My ENT (Ear Nose and Throat) doctor said No!
So I will wear these from now on. Bought a pair for my son and will buy a pair for myself!
Only reason I cannot give these 5 stars, because the tabs are way too small and the case shape and size is a major FAIL! Put in larger TABS and my Gosh when it takes 3-5 minutes to take them out of case (without damaging) give me a break...useless.

I was skeptical about these at first.
I saw an ad pop up on a social media page about these hi fidelity ear plugs. The ad claims that they are good for concerts, riding motorcycles, filtering out noise. I recently purchased a pair. I work in an industrial environment. Equipment runs 24/7. Part of my job is to inspect said equipment. I was concerned that they weren’t going to be suitable for my job. I must say, they really worked out well for what I bought them for. The plugs lower the db level to a safe one and yet you can still hear yourself fart. I found them to be very comfortable even after an hour of wear. The aluminum canister carrying case is compact, fits in your pocket or key ring. A great product in my opinion. My only regret is that I didn’t buy the gold ones.

Excellent ear protection!
I’m a pretty big festival goer / DJ so I’m around a lot of big speakers & big stages . Hearing protection is a priority for me. I got the electric forest ones because it’s a collab with insomniac which puts on the biggest festivals around the world! (The regular ones will work the same, I just love to support insomniac when ever I can)
I’ve used many ear plugs from all brands my last favorite were the Alpine music safe Pro & they were pretty good also. I ended up losing them at an event some how but I’m kind of glad I did because I didn’t know how much of the sound I was actually missing until I got these!
These you can hear the music very clear & you’ll forgot you even have them in. Been to 3 shows so far with these & they work excellent! No ear ringing after & the carrying case is very convenient you’ll likely never lose these! They include 2 sets a big & small size.
You can’t beat them for the price! Highly recommend! You only get one pair of ears in life so protect them!

YOU ARE NOT A WIMP!
I was at the Louder than life 2021 in Kentucky and they made it a 4 day concert. Its general admission that allows you to get up close as you can without VIP. 2019 Louder than life. Being about 100-200 meters away and my ears rang for the 3 days I attended. I was concerned after that. The 2021 concert this year was a 4 day featuring Metallica for 2 days and Breaking Benjamin one of the days. I wanted to get up close this time as they are my absolute favorite. A once in a lifetime for me. I was within 50meters from the stage and i love these. No headache, no ear piercing bass. They dont muffle sound like normal foam ear plugs. I encourage anyone to wear these. Think of Safety. Think of your hearing in the future. My stepdad is about 45 years old and worked as a laborer all his life. Hes needing serious hearing aids for the rest of his life. You cant prevent anything but if you have the ability to do so, try it.

Quality matches cost!
Noise cancellation/dampening: Feels pretty subtle, but in a good way. When wearing the earplugs, I can still hear things just as clearly as without the earplugs, but the overall volume of everything is turned down. The sounds don’t feel muffled or blurry through the earplugs, which is really nice. I bought these specifically to use at loud arcades when I play rhythm games— the earplugs make the overall noise level less overwhelming, but I can still hear the songs from my games. I was worried that they weren’t working because I could hear things way better than I expected with the earplugs in… so in Ill-Advised Science Adventures, I’ve also tried putting my speakers up against my ears (at volumes that would normally cause pain) while keeping the earplugs in. They protected against pain at max volume, so they do work! I do not recommend this experiment, though, definitely wasn’t one of my smarter ideas.
Comfort: Way more comfy than foam earplugs, but not so comfy that I would forget that I’m wearing them. Before buying these, I usually used the silicone moldable earplugs because they don’t create that uncomfortable ear pressure that foam ones do. However, sound quality is much better with these earplugs AND they’re about the same comfort level, so these will become my new go-to!
Case: I’m not normally a fan of screw top cases because I’m afraid of dropping pieces of losing them (would personally prefer a hinged case with a latch for security). The case is a conveniently small size. It’s just big enough to hold the two earplugs, small enough to add to your keys/backpack/bag without being too bulky. I’ve added a photo of it with my review, with an arcade card for scale.

These Make Loud Environments Comfortable
This is Allie's husband - she found the 'high-fidelity' earplugs and got me a pair because she knew I'd been interested in better earplugs for quite a while.
I have been a guitarist since I was 8. I played with a drummer for the first time when I was 12, and when my ears were still ringing into the night and the next morning, I remember thinking that I'd better be careful if I wanted to hear anything by the time I got old - like 30 (let's just say I'm not quite double that now). I began using foam earplugs pretty religiously at rehearsals, shows, and concerts, buying them in bulk and keeping an extra set or two in the car, guitar case, and gig bag so they'd always be around. I haven't had a real audiology exam since high school, but all these decades later, I notice that I seem to be able to hear better than many musician friends who blasted their ears out over the years.
If you've used foam earplugs, you know that they attenuate (turn down) high frequencies (cymbals, sibilants, etc.) a lot more than low frequencies (bass, bass drums, etc.). It's always quite noticeable at first when I put them in that the lows come through louder than the highs, but the brain adapts after a bit and it's hardly noticeable, especially after using them for decades. I'd been interested in flatter-response earplugs for years, but I wasn't excited about the price (you can get like 500 foam earplugs for the price of one pair of these).
My wife recently found out about these and got them in anticipation of the Chris Cornell tribute concert coming up next month (January, 2019), so I haven't had a chance to use them at an arena rock concert yet. But I am fortunate to have a 'premium' car audio system that sounds very good at low and high volumes, so I've spent a couple of days cranking it MUCH louder than what I usually call 'very loud' with these earplugs (when I'm able to drive around alone). The keychain container makes it easy to keep them handy.
These aren't completely flat - see the chart from their website, which measures the standard audiology test range of 125Hz - 8kHz. Completely flat may be impossible, at least at a price point under something custom-made by an audiologist.
However, the mids and highs are MUCH more present than with foam earplugs. My bet is that the curve for the foam earplugs I've been used to would continue steeply down after 2kHz. In other words, the Eargasm earplugs let much more of those mids and highs through, and whether it's simply that or some magic they put into the filter module, everything sounds much more clear (less muddy) than with the foam earplugs. I can turn the volume on my car stereo way past levels that would be uncomfortable without them, yet it's comfortably loud. And I can feel the bass that much more, which is fun. When I pull them out to see what it sounds like without them, it's just a LOT louder, so they go back in quickly. I do wish I didn't have close neighbors so I could listen at these levels at home...
How much these 'turn it down' seems to depend on getting them adequately deep into your ear canal. The foam earplugs expand to fill the canal, so it took a few minutes to get used to these silicone tips. After they're in far enough that they feel fine, I've found that an extra nudge gets the tip to form a sort-of-vacuum-seal with the end of the ear canal. They don't fall out easily at this point, they're comfortable for at least two and a half hours straight so far, and I bet that the average attenuation indeed is at least the 21 dB they claim.
Yes, they're worth the extra money. They're not disposable like the cheapo foamies, but the handy keychain case assuages my fear of losing them.

Keeps Noise Lowered and Reduces Ear Pain
These came in a fancy looking box package and a portable keychain attachment with a small and large ear canal silicons. I already have tinnitus due to putting my self through loud environments with no ear protection. The worst environment being a race track many times over the years when I was younger. I still wanted to go to events that had loud noises with family and friends but have leaned more towards saying no due to the noise injuring my ears more. I bought tickets to a Taylor Swift concert for my girlfriend and I and purchased these earplugs because it was in the U.S. Bank Stadium which was enclosed I knew it was going to be loud.
I got these and tested them after inserting into my ears by maxing out my headset through my computer and listening to loud music. It was completely a manageable experience with no pain no nothing it was a thrilling experience to say the least. Then we went to the concert and I put these in for the pre-show singers and what made it awesome was the quality of sound of diluted but it was more understandable during the concert. As well as it being very easy for me to hear the words my girlfriend was saying to me through the loud music and sound.
So for someone suffering with the onslaught of ringing in the ears to have an option to protect them without wearing the cheap versions of the puddy foam ear plugs these did the job exceptionally. I left the concert after removing the earplugs with normal hearing and no headache the next day due to sound.
Only problem I have with them is cleaning them doesn't seem too straight forward.
All in all well worth the purchase!

These work, and work well.
I love live music but due to hearing and ear problems in general, it's very difficult for me to enjoy live music without physical pain or the risk of further damaging my hearing.
I wore these to a prog-rock concert that averaged 107 dB and I experienced no pain from volume of the concert or from wearing the plugs themselves, as well as no meaningful loss in musical fidelity or enjoyment. I can't really give a more beaming review than that: they work exactly like I wanted, they have no meaningful problems, and they now go with me everywhere.
This isn't a gripe, just a disclosure: I have very sensitive ear canals, with in-ear anything--plugs, earbuds, etc--generally resulting in a lot of itchy discomfort, and sometimes swelling and inflammation later. These occasionally produce some mild itching, but it can typically be remedied by just reseating the plug. They are made from extremely soft silicone and the smaller cones provided fit even my narrow ear canals well enough to be effective and tolerably comfortable.
These are the real deal, and work far better than anything else I've tried. I have only rated this 4 stars because 5 star reviews are almost always made by bots these days. This is an honest review written by a human, and these things are great.

Review
I received the earplugs on time and they are as advertised. My filter was originally in the standard size shell when it arrived. The earplugs had been placed into the tiny canister. The small shell is in a tiny bag within the foam of the Eargasm packaging. There are instructions in the Eargasm packaging as well. The standard size works fine for me. I have only worn the earplugs for a minute but they are more comfortable than all of the Rooth C&P earplugs I have. I mention them because of a similar design. I do like Eargasm's large tabs for removing the earplugs. Something I neither dislike or like about the Rooth earplugs. Although, I have had a Rooth earplug slip into my ear canal. I was unable to grasp the tab and required medical attention to remove it. Sound attenuation seems accurate but that is a guess based on experience. As I have said, I have only worn them for a short time. I will wear them most of the day tomorrow and report back. As a side note, I normally like to wait to review but I received an email asking if I would submit one. It's not a bother, and the seller emailing the buyer is more and more common, it just irked me somehow. Still, upon first impressions, I would definitely buy these again.
So, I have worn these earplugs for over thirty hours at this point and I must say that they are, to me, extremely comfortable. Extended wear sessions (over six hours) are no problem. I do not experience the typical ear itch or any discomfort. I am thoroughly impressed and will definitely buy again when I am in need of more earplugs. That said, there is some popping that occurs when they are not securely seated. I have not seen this in any other brand of earplug. I know it is due to user error but I thought I would mention it. I am extremely happy with my purchase and will recommend them to anyone looking for quality attenuating earplugs. Now, as for my previous comment about emails, that was inappropriate and in no way a reflection of the quality of this product. I guess I was in a mood. Great earplugs. What more can I say.

The Eargasm plugs are packaged in a very impressive box with a magnetic flap which no doubt is dazzling to the consumer…
I am giving this product a 3 star rating in comparison to some cheap expandable foam earplugs that I would give a 4 star rating.
The Eargasm plugs are packaged in a very impressive box with a magnetic flap which no doubt is dazzling to the consumer and unnecessary to spend so much effort and money for some earplug packaging for which we have to pay.
I gave both sets of plugs an unbiased analysis.
I listened to a video at the same sound level for both. The sound level was set just loud enough that if I set the volume one more level lower, I would have struggled to understand the content of the video.
I could not notice any obvious difference between the two sets of plugs with this test.
I then tested both set while firing a Glock 17 3rd Gen. After inserting the Eargasm plugs in correctly, there was no obvious difference in the ability of both sets of plugs to block the same amount of sound percussion from the firearm.
The reason I am giving this product a 3 star instead of a four star, is because it was difficult to tell if I had a good seal with the Eargasm plugs. Do to this, I experienced acoustic shock in my left ear when I fired my pistol. To determine if you have a good seal, you have push them in firmly, release, and feel for a vacuum.
If I were to rate this based on the manufacturer's claims and price, it would certainly be lower.
In my findings from my simple testing (without sophisticated microphones and software analysis), these plugs are not worth the money.
