MORE INFO ABOUT THIS PRODUCT:
Vibes Hi-Fidelity Earplugs (seen on TV's Shark Tank) are discreet, reusable earplugs designed for musicians. Instead of blocking and muffling sound like traditional foam earplugs, Vibes reduce the volume of loud live music to a safer and more comfortable level that prevents permanent hearing damage, while still allowing you to hear yourself and the rest of the ensemble play clearly.
Each pair of Vibes also includes:
Three sizes of interchangeable eartips to ensure a proper fit for any sized ear
Attachable cord that allow the earplugs to be hung around the neck and prevents them from getting lost
Pocket-sized carrying case
Vibes are trusted by over 300 of the country's top high school and college band programs (including schools like U of Alabama, U of Texas, U of Georgia, and Okahoma State), professional orchestras, military bands, independent WGI ensembles, and DCI drum corps.
