01. Product Overview & Evaluation
Eargasm High Fidelity plugs utilize an advanced acoustic attenuator that reduces decibels evenly across the spectrum. Instead of muffling sound like traditional foam plugs, Eargasm acts as a 'volume knob' for your environment, preserving vocal clarity and instrument balance at live music events.
Verified Strengths
- Outstanding sound clarity and preservation of high frequencies
- Two shell sizes (Standard & Small) included in every package
- Comes with a heavy-duty, threaded aluminum carry case
- Very low occlusion - your own voice doesn't sound muffled
Critical Downside Observations
- Hard center core and pull tab cause pain when pressed against a pillow
- High upfront price of $43
- Filters can be easily lost if dropped during size changes
02. Frequency Attenuation Data
Measured noise reduction in decibels (dB) across key pitch registers. Flat curves preserve music quality, while low-pass curves muffle high pitches.
Attenuation Curve (Sound Blocked by Pitch)
Safety Ratings Breakdown:
- Noise Reduction Rating (NRR): 16 dB (EPA Standard)
- Single Number Rating (SNR): 21 dB (CE Standard)
- Testing Authority: ANSI S3.19 Tested & certified
Protection Profile Notes:
With 16 dB NRR, it keeps concert volumes in a safe range (typically taking a 100 dB concert down to a manageable 84 dB), which protects hearing while preserving the high frequencies of guitars and vocals.
