Loop vs Custom earplugs for music enjoyment (as a music producer)
Hi all, I'm sure this thread sees this question often but I've searched for a while and can't find help for my specific situation.
I am a musician and owned custom earplugs for a while which supposedly attenuated the level evenly across the frequency spectrum but I misplaced them. I have a few events and gigs coming up and was wondering if the loops are a decent alternative, at least until I find my customs (hopefully). Or should I just go ahead and get a new pair of custom earplugs instead.
I really enjoy music and need these for recreational and semi professional use and obviously i hate the cheap earplugs that muffle or distort sound indiscriminately. I would also love to use these more for casual uses like public places, bars and smaller social gatherings that are still just a bit too loud.
So basically just wondering if any of the loop plugs will offer similar volume reduction without losing too much high frequencies and generally good volume suppression for live music.
I'm also not too worried about fit since i never seem to have a problem with foam inserts in my ears. i wear airpod pros a lot for noise cancelling and they never really bother me or fall out
Any advice from other musicians, music lovers or audio engineers that also have experience with loops vs customers would be great! thank you!
