“Ask anyone in an office who’s tried to block out noise with cheap drugstore earplugs and they’ll tell you it doesn’t do the job they were hoping for. Ask them while they’re wearingthe earplugs and they’ll still probably hear you. Those plastic and foam plugs only work for certain scenarios and frequencies, and offices aren’t on that list. That’s where these plugs are a game-changer.” – Josh Kanter

“In addition to just being a more sensible product than those high dollar ear molds (because if you lose one you’re not out the cost of a used car), Minuendo’s Adjustable Ear Plugs offer more bang for the buck while staying at a small price to pay for those who like to turn it up—and keep it that way.” – Graham Berry

Translated from German to English using Google translate: “The feeling of dull isolation, which often occurs with other standard solutions, can be reduced here in a dosed manner. At the same time, the Minuendo Lossless Earplugs not only offer a pleasant wearing comfort with a practical magnetic closure, they also look better than handkerchiefs, parsley or the yellow foam cones. If you use them often, you will not find the price of just under 140 euros too high. Conclusion: recommended!” – Max Gebhart

I found them fine.” Phil Morse

“Unlike with disposable foam earplugs, these use a variable membrane that attenuates decibels but doesn’t mercilessly dampen the highs. The ability to slide between stepped adjustments (-7 to -25 dB) means I can have a conversation between sets but also listen comfortably till the encore, all without removing the earplugs, which offer a fit familiar to anyone that uses earphones/in-ear monitors.” – Tony Ware

“Then we have what I think is the key selling point: the variable control. Being able to transition from 25dB of protection down to 7dB when someone wants to have a chat is both invaluable and genius. What’s more, the earplugs come with a 10-year warranty and 30-day money back guarantee. As far as I’m concerned, Minuendo is a wise purchase for anyone wanting to take good care of their ears.” – Preshan John

“We tried these out against a nearby construction site, as well as a live music venue, and they do the trick nicely. The ability to dial back the noise filtering, and not have to pull out an earpiece to talk to someone when the noise isn’t an issue, was a welcome function, and depending upon where you are in a venue, you might not want or need maximum filtering, but still want some protection.” – Chris Devine

“The inclusion of gearless dials on each plug to allow you to choose how much reduction you require is especially useful, as it allows you to quickly and effortlessly react to any changes in the immediate environment. For instance, this was particularly useful in a rehearsal setting as I could switch between full reduction while playing to much less while talking, saving the frustrating job of having to remove/re-insert plugs every few minutes as I’ve often had to do previously with more traditional plugs.” – Nick Carter

“If you’re looking for musician’s earplugs, you’ll quickly realise there are plenty of options that sit firmly in the cheap and cheerful bracket. These are fine and have a place, but we’d always favour something less disposable which is why the Minuendo earplugs are a great choice. The price you pay indicates a degree of quality has gone into the build, while the on-plug control over the level of attenuation you require is a neat touch.“ – Chris Corfield
