| Thea Carvill 17.04.2013 | For those who looking for cheap solution. I do practise and I would suggest everyone to try cotton wool. It may sounds silly in the first place, but try first and then come back to me. + it's hygenic (one use only) you decide how much sound you want to block, by making plug soft or hard no costs no risk of loosing them you can have it in your wallet all the time with you - sometimes it may be difficult to take them out from ear - just dont make them to small, or dont push them to deep It takes little practice to make it perfect size There are two types of cotton wall on the market - natural and syntetic, I prefere natural. Good luck. |

| Jenna Skeem 15.04.2013 | Yeah alpine music safe pro are pretty decent for the price, if you lose em cheap enough to buy another pair, pretty decent hearing protection, theyre like those in ear canal headphones. but just the rubber bit so you can trim them to suit your ear. |
| Alphonso Deitchman 15.04.2013 | Oh, I was believeing of the Alpine plugs sorry. Not sure if you can shorten the E20s. |
| Latina Samon 15.04.2013 | Which bit do you mean to trim down? I was believeing the big stem that sticks out the ears? I'm not sure which bit the filter is? |
| Alphonso Deitchman 16.04.2013 | There is some spare length you could trim down, as long as you dont remove so much that the filter sticks into your ear. |
| Latina Samon 16.04.2013 | Just bought some ER20s. I know I should go for customs but I can't afford them. Problem with these ones is they stick out loads! It means the headphones catch when sliding them on and off and obviously doesn't look great if just wearing them around a club. Can you cut down the stem that sticks out or is that part of the filter? |

| Jacqualine Cieplik 26.11.2012 | Blimey, I had no idea that ear plugs could have filters in them! Thanks for your quick reply, I will have to search the UK market. |
