Have been using Alpine the last year or so. Will have to check out the Alpine Tune model.

If only there were a website where all of the major ear plug manufacturer's ear plugs were tested for their actual audio response with sound examples normalised and compared to the source tracks. It would give us a fighting chance of choosing an ear plug that suits our needs. 

 

For example, in certain settings a set of ear plugs I have lack clarity and they are quite boomy, but they can be useful in other settings where the low end appears missing. I wanted a set of reasonably cheap "flat" ear plugs for general use for more speech intelligibility too and I went on a search to find answers...

 

oh wait... here's one:-  https://www.hearadvisor.com/earplug-rankings thank me later  Also be surprised at how bad a response some are too (taking in to consideration A-weighting and the like)

 

 

Thanks for that. I'm pleased to see my Loop Switch are highly rated, especially at that price.
