EarPeace Music PRO Earplugs Review: Enjoy Concerts and Protect Your Hearing
I’ll be honest. I never thought I’d be that person wearing earplugs to a concert. Part of me always assumed earplugs were for musicians, sound engineers, or maybe someone’s overly prepared uncle. But after leaving a few shows with my ears ringing well into the next day, I finally decided to try something better than crumpled-up foam plugs. That’s when I found the EarPeace Music PRO earplugs. I’d seen them recommended in a few music forums, and the promise of “high-fidelity hearing protection” sounded like exactly what I needed.
I’m not a musician, but I do attend a fair amount of shows, and I’ve started realizing just how important hearing health really is. I wore the Music PRO kit to a nearly sold-out event at an indoor venue last weekend, and honestly? I’m sold. Here’s everything that stood out—the good, the not-so-good, and why I won’t go to another concert without these in my pocket.

First impressions on the Earpeace Music PRO
The Music PRO kit comes neatly packaged, and right away, it gives off a premium feel. Inside the box, I found:
- Three sets of silicone earplugs (standard and small size)
- The High (20 dB) filter
- A sleek aluminum carrying case with two compartments
I liked that they included both earplug sizes. I ended up using the larger size, which provided a snug, comfortable fit without feeling constricted in my ears. The filters pop in and out pretty easily.
How do these earplugs hold up in loud, crowded venue?
The venue I chose to test these earplugs at was exactly the kind of place that usually leaves my ears buzzing: brick walls, high ceilings, and a wall of speakers. Here’s what really impressed me:
1. Sound quality
This is what I was most nervous about. Would the music sound muffled? Would I lose the clarity of vocals and guitar tones? Honestly, no. The sound wasn’t muffled at all. It was lower, yes, but still rich and detailed. The drums hit clean, the bass was deep without being overwhelming, and the vocals were surprisingly crisp. It really felt like someone had just turned the master volume knob down a few notches.
I actually found myself enjoying the music more because I wasn’t constantly overwhelmed by the sheer volume. Instead of bracing myself during loud choruses or covering my ears when things got intense, I could just relax and enjoy the set.
2. Comfort
I wore the plugs for nearly four hours straight and never once felt the need to take them out. They sat securely in my ears the entire time. They’re made of soft, hypoallergenic silicone, and the “contour” shape really does help them stay in place without creating pressure.
3. Being present in the moment
One of my favorite parts of the night was how connected I still felt. I could hear my friends talking, and I didn’t feel like I was wrapped in cotton the way I sometimes do with basic earplugs. There’s something really satisfying about being able to fully experience a live show without feeling like you’re sacrificing your hearing in the process.
The next morning: no ringing, no regrets
This is the part that really sealed the deal for me. Normally, after an event like this, I’d wake up with a faint ringing in my ears or that dull, foggy feeling that lingers into the next day.
But this time? Nothing. My ears felt totally normal. No buzzing, no strain, no sense that I’d been standing ten feet from a stack of speakers all night. It was honestly kind of amazing.
A few things to know about the EarPeace Music PRO
No product is perfect, and there are a few things worth mentioning:
1. These earplugs are not super cheap
At around $40, the Music PRO kit is definitely more of an investment than grabbing a few foam pairs at the drugstore. But for something reusable, comfortable, and high-quality, I think it’s worth every penny, especially if you go to events regularly.
2. Switching filters isn’t something you’ll do mid-show
The filters are interchangeable, but not on the fly. You’ll want to pick your level of protection before the show starts and stick with it. Swapping them in a dark venue or while the crowd is jumping around isn’t realistic.
3. Fit matters
If you don’t get a good seal, you won’t get good protection or sound quality. I had to try both earplug sizes before I found the right one for me, and even then, I had to make sure I inserted them fully. Once they were in, though, I didn’t think about them again.
Would I recommend the Earpeace Music PRO?
Absolutely. Especially if you’re someone who goes to shows regularly and actually cares about the music. The EarPeace Music PRO earplugs are a game-changer for live music. They protect your ears without ruining the experience. In fact, they enhance the experience by letting you enjoy the music without the physical discomfort that often comes with high volume.
For me, these are now just part of my “concert kit”: phone, wallet, keys… and earplugs.
