The aftermath of concerts and other loud events often includes muffled hearing and a ringing sensation in the ears (tinnitus), warning signs of potential hearing damage.

To address this concern, Sennheiser recently introduced SoundProtex earplugs, engineered to provide a superior live music experience while giving top priority to safety and preserving the user’s hearing.

Enhanced Music Experience with Patented Membrane Filter Technology

Ideal for enjoying concerts and festivals, these advanced high-fidelity earplugs feature patented membrane filter technology. This technology allows users to enjoy a well-balanced and full-frequency sound while still protecting their hearing. The filters reduce the sound pressure that reaches the ears, ensuring safer listening for extended periods.

Considering that the decibel levels at many concerts, especially rock concerts, exceed 100 dB, prolonged exposure to such volumes poses a serious risk of hearing damage.

Unlike standard earplugs that may muffle higher frequency details, the SoundProtex filters retain enough of these higher frequencies to preserve ambient awareness, enabling users to have normal conversations at concerts.

Versatile and Reusable 

Sennheiser’s SoundProtex earplugs can be used for a wide range of activities scenarios beyond concerts and festivals. The soft, flexible, medical-grade TPE material provides a comfortable fit, free from irritants that may affect sensitive ear skin.

The interchangeable filter system allows them to be adjusted for your individual needs.
