Ear protector advice (iusearchlinux.fyi)

I want to get some non-single use ear protectors for concerts. I have only used bad foam single use ones before and I'm not sure how to approach this. Should I buy cheap ones like alpine to see if I even like it or does it make sense to directly go for customised ones? Idk how much customised ones would even cost.

Does anyone here have experience with ear protectors?

One of the best cheap (non-custom) options is the Alpine MusicSafe Pro (~25€).
If you wanna go for a custom hearing protection you're quickly into 3 figures. Here in Germany there are some vendors for custom stuff where you could get some "no name" custom or some brand stuff like the Alpine PartyPlug Custom for ~200€.
But with all custom stuff the price heavily depends on what exactly you want, from which brand and where you are ordering it.

In general I would recommend getting the cheap non-custom option, see if it works for you and if not you can still cash out for some custom ones. 25€ is not that big of an investment compared to the price of a custom set.

I also had the MusicSafe Pro in mind. I think I'll just buy them and see if I want something different later
