EarDial HiFi Earplugs - Invisible Hearing Protection for Concerts, Music Festivals, Musicians, Motorcycles and Other Discreet Comfortable High Fidelity Noise Reduction. with Compact Case and App

Great product, does an excellent job of cutting down harsh, loud sounds. Super comfortable to wear, even for extended use. The discreet design is a nice bonus, too.

I just used these properly last night at an outdoor party in Cannes, France. The atmosphere was great, but I found it way too loud. The EarDial iPhone app was super easy to use and suggested that I'd get 12 mins of safe sound exposure where I was standing (in the loudest part of the venue), or 2 hours with ear plugs in. So I popped in the earplugs, and also moved somewhere slightly quieter after 20 mins, so I could talk with my friends. After I left, there were no side-effects for me — no discomfort, and no ringing in the ears. The EarDials were comfortable to wear for 3 hours. Pretty much invisible to anyone else. I could still hear the music, and easily make out conversation. At the end of the night, it was also easy to get them out of my ears, and put them back in their case. I particularly like having the metal case on my keyring. It's small, and doesn't look too weird. And actually having an option of ear protection when I want it feels really good. Fit wise, my ear canals are probably slightly smaller than average, because I can use Apple AirPods, but they're a tight fit and slightly uncomfortable.

These earplugs are excellent for use in nightclubs. Filtered the noise nicely so that I could still hear the music without having tinnitus when I left! The best (and unexpected) part was that I could hear what people were saying to me much more clearly. I don’t think the earplugs were particularly visible in the darkness (or maybe people were too polite to comment!) but the only drawback I found was that they did tend to pop out slightly so I had to keep pushing them back in on the dancefloor. However I don’t think other earplugs would be any different.

I love my Eardial earplugs. This is the second set I have owned, having bought into the original kickstarter and only recently lost one. The best thing about these earplugs, is the I (very almost) always have them to hand. So when I go to a gig / show / festival / children's pantomime rehearsal (frequently at short notice) it's fantastic to have them on my keyring and to hand. Importantly they're effective too, at reducing post gig tinnitus. On the (rare) occasion when I don't have my, Eardial with me at a concert I've really noticed (and suffered the consequence). Moreover, they're great at cutting the level of background chatter. They're (relatively) comfortable although they can be a little fiddly to get right initially, they sit well in my ears for hours and the new, smaller storage cannister is a definite design improvement. The companion App, is perhaps a little superfluous and buggy. It alway crashes after a couple of uses. And while interesting It feels more like a gimmick than a necessity. Finally though Jesús Carrera (the EarDial Founder) offers an unparalleled level of support and customer service. Thank you for my splendid earplugs.

These are very good. They virtually eliminate wind noise, although some road noise gets through so you can still hear sirens etc. They fit in a way that is not obtrusive and don't get pulled out the moment you put your helmet on and your ear canals distort slightly as it goes over them. They don't itch like the foam ones and they don't make my ears bleed after prolongued use like the foam ones. This was a good investment and they checked up afterwards to make sure everything was OK. Everything has a minor niggle, so in the interests of fairness, I will stick them here. The case is a little fiddly to get them in, but at the same time it is tiny and discreet (and sits on your keyring, hooray!). The pull tab is only JUST long enough. A different set of filters and self changing ability would really add to these. If you drop one on the ground, they are translucent silicon, so it will be the devil to find it. Coloured filters would help. All in all, it's a yes from me. And I don't even have to remember which trousers, rainsuit, leather jacket, tankbag, rucksack or panniers I left them in.

these are amazing! i have slight tinnitus and get really anxious about it getting worse from watching live music, but also worry about looking overprecautious around my friends (a stupid thought but something i worry about all the same...) these were exactly what i needed! i had such a great night without having to worry about my hearing, and i actually enjoyed the music way more than usual as i could get right to the front with no ear pain! not only was there no effect on my tinnitus but they were also practically invisible, so i didnt have to worry about that either. reusable, comfortable, high-fidelity sound - i could hear my friends talking as well as the music and they even filtered out the feedback during the show so the sound quality i had was actually better than everyone else’s! they are also a great company to support; really lovely people who answered questions within about 5 minutes - all in all a great experience. they are totally worth buying, everyone who watches live music should own a pair. even if you don’t buy them, get the free app - really useul to know how loud the stuff you’re listening to is, and kind of scary to see how fast it damages your hearing. (also for anyone who doesn’t have tinnitus - it’s super annoying! protect your ears BEFORE you get it)

These are good for reducing loud music but still allowing conversation with friends. Keyring container is nice and compact, just be careful ear plugs from it as it's fiddly and easy to drop. Comfortable to wear for long periods too. Happy with the purchase.

Found these comfortable at first but also small and flimsy and difficult to then get out of my ears. Also disappointed that they are made in China. There are loads of different ear plugs available and one of the reasons I chose these was because they appeared to actually be German.

I've been using the EarDials now for nearly a year at music festivals, night clubs, and tiny bars while listening to all kinds of music genres--loudly. After a particularly loud show in Telluride last winter (Jerry Joseph) my ears rang for 2 days and I was very concerned about further hearing loss (I'm 55) having been listening to loud music for 40+ years. So I shopped around and decided on the EarDials as they seemed to have truly done their homework on how to mitigate hearing damage while still allowing enough sensitivity to hear the music with a high level of clarity. Man, was I psyched to have purchased wisely! These plugs are very comfortable to wear! They seem to be the ideal size so that they don't go too deep and become irretrievable (I've had that happen with tissue) yet still maintain a snug fit. Virtually invisible, they don't have that dopey look that gives away the fact that I'm a sensible guy and probably twice as old as most everyone in the club! No longer am I too concerned about being jammed up against the side of the crowd with a six foot speaker pointing at my right ear! This is a such small price to pay for the peace of mind that I won't be permanently damaged for being too buzzed to care what is happening to my ears at some monumental show. The cylindrical carry case is perfect for the plugs. At first you'll think it is too small for the plugs because you kind of have to jam them in and screw it shut. But the plugs do not lose their shape being in the case snugly and with the case being half the size of a tube of lip balm means you don't have much bouncing around in your pocket as you leap around the dance floor. I've got a couple of pairs in my overnight toiletries kit (one for me & one for my sweetie--I care about her ears too!) for when we go to shows out of town and then I keep a pair in the car for the incidental concert I might stumble across. While great for loud music they are equally comfortable when sleeping at a noisy hotel or when you need to sleep in late from a little too much excess! Finally, the customer service is fantastic! I felt I had to send a note to the company complimenting them on the product and got a prompt reply from the CEO! He is very engaged in his company & goes out of his way to insure all his customers are happy----like ME!!

BACKGROUND: I'm a musician so my hearing is VERY important - and fortunately, I still have a superior sense of hearing despite my younger days when I'd go out clubbing and danced next to the speakers cuz that was apparently the cool thing to do. Oh how I wish these had been around back in the 90s!!! In the last few years I started going out dancing again and found that I was uncomfortable with some of the volumes that are now being pushed by the DJs at the midnight hour. So I experimented with traditional foam ear plugs, which I'm sure protected me but, I didn't feel like I was part of the action as much. I felt the music was too muffled and I couldnt get myself into it. EAR DIALS: I first saw these advertised on a deal site and what sold me was the Android app (who doesn't like to measure stuff and have the satisfaction of knowing they are protected) as well as the translucent appearance of these. A 3rd feature that I liked was the bullet-like carrying case, which is always attached to my keys and is very handy. It comes with a glow-in-the-dark sticker too if you like that. So after going out twice here's what I have to say: REVIEW -- The PROS: Audio level is definitely reduced but not muffled so I can confirm I am protected (also no ringing noise next day). The protection is immediate - in other words you don't have to wait for the foam to expand in your ear. The app is easy to install, use, and satisfying. The fit in the ears is snug and the little piece sticks out just enough so that you can actually pull them out when you're done. The price is fair, in my opinion. The customer service is fantastic. THE CONS: Not sure if this is a con per say but, if you're used to foam ones, you may wonder at first if you put them on deeply enough because you're still hearing more than you're expected. So this "uncertainty" is a slight drawback but probably unavoidable. I have used these twice now and both times, I struggled to remove them from the carrying case. And that's because they have to be pushed in deeply in order for the case to close. Another con at the time of this writing is that it's not clear how to clean these. While a pro is that you CAN clean them, written instructions don't really help. Videos would be MUCH MORE helpful. So while I gave this 5-stars, it's actually 4.5 because of this. WISHLIST FOR NEXT VERSION: 1- Ability to control the volume of the sound you hear. While this is MUCH better than foam in that you still hear everything just at a safe level, it would be nice if somehow they figured out a way for us to adjust the volume of what we hear, either thru a twisting motion of a part, or using some technology that may come around in the future. 2- Ability to light them up..maybe have microsized LEDs on there, and then be able to control their color from the app. Many dance parties involve glowsticks, and LEDs are the rage so I see this as something that would be cool.

I feel uncomfortable in noisy environments where there is music blasting, like some restaurants and gyms, and I have tried a few different earplugs over the years. I was initially skeptical about EarDial Earbuds because they claim an SNR of 20, which is lower than the noise reduction of most earplugs I have tried in the past. However, EarDial Earbuds are my favourite now! • EarDial Earbuds do not reduce the noise as much as some of the other earbuds I have tried, but this turned out to be a good thing! I can wear them frequently even when it is only a little uncomfortable. I do not have to take them off every time I have to talk to someone. I have not tried it yet in an extremely noisy situation like a concert, but for everyday situations, they are perfect. • The compact case is really small, I carry them on my keyring. This way, I have them with me all the time, so I end up using it more. You have to be a bit careful though, since the compact and discreet appearance makes them easy to loose. • EarDial Earbuds don't have too many separate components, so it is easy to clean them by rinsing with warm soapy water. Some other earbuds I have used have foam components or filters that cannot be washed. • Jesús Carrera, EarDial Founder, promptly are personally respond to queries and problems!

For whatever reason I was led to believe that this will cancel background noise but I will still be able to hear people (obviously within reason, this is not an electronic device after all). This is not the case, those earplugs mute everything. It's still ok for most of my needs anyway, they are still better than your typical ear plugs, at least I don't need to listen to my heart beat and whatever noises happen organically within my ear with them on, which is a great plus.

Ya van varias veces que he usado mis EarDial y me sigue asombrando la calidad de sonido que ofrecen sin dejar de lado la protección auditiva. No son unos tapones para los oídos típicos, ya que esos simplemente reducen tu audición y se notan cuando los traes puestos; al ponerme los EarDial sigo escuchando desde la música de fondo, hasta lo que me dicen mis amigos sin problema alguno. El fin de semana pasado los usé en un bar que tuvo música en vivo por varias horas y al otro día amanecí sin el típico dolor de oídos o sensación de zumbido ¡y eso que estaba a metros de las bocinas!. Son muy confortables, puesto que jamás me cansé de traerlos puestos (te cansan más unos audífonos convencionales) y su estuche es tan práctico que cabe fácilmente junto a las llaves. Yo diría que hasta mejora la calidad de la música, son sumamente discretos y en verdad protegen tu oído, por fin encontré la solución para no quedar algo sordo al día siguiente de irme de fiesta. Son una especie de "oído biónico" que aumentan la fidelidad del sonido y a su vez te protegen ¡Increíble que hagan todo eso en un tamaño tan pequeño y discreto! Y su app es muy fácil de usar, te deja ver cuánto tiempo puedes estar en determinado lugar ruidoso sin riesgo de dañar tu audición. Totalmente recomendables, no he encontrado ningún defecto hasta el momento, se nota a leguas que el material del que están hechos es de alta calidad ¡Creo que me durarán mucho! Valen cada peso que pagas por ellos.
