These came in about a week ago - I picked up a pair for me and a pair for my 17 year old son. Upon ordering them I was immediately contacted by Ryan - letting me know they got my order and they would be shipping them out - and adding that if I have any problems to let him know - You see - they believe in old school customer service/satisfaction.
Once they arrived, I was impressed with the case, and the fact that they came with two different buds to fit to your ears - I had to swap mine out for the second set for a better fit, my son did not. Again I was contacted by Ryan checking to make sure everything was OK with the order . . .
Last night we had ultimate test of these little things - Metallica kicked off their 2017 World Wired Tour in Baltimore with Volbeat and Avenged Sevenfold as their opening acts . . . I am over 50, have tinnitus in both ears as well as hearing loss - so I was concerned about the noise levels . . . These passed the test with Flying Colors
Test One: Getting a 17 year old to put these on and keep them on throughout a 6 hour show
Results: Passed - He actually did take them out at the start of Nothing Else Matters - you know where it is nice and soft - He said he thought "This isn't so bad" Then they started rocking it and he was "Whoa better get these back in!" and put them back in - He said he could still hear everything and it was still an amazing show.
Test two - Intermission conversations
Results - Passed -I left them in during most of the intermissions between the acts - and was able to have normal conversations with my son and those around us
Test three - The post show conversations
Results - Passed - While a lot of the people around us were yelling to be heard over the ringing in their ears - he and I talked in normal tones - His ears weren't ringing - mine weren't ringing any more than they normally do . . .
Test four - Comfort and Fit
Results - Passed - They pretty much stayed on for 6 hours - I never felt them slip or feel like they going to fall out . . . and they were easy to pull out by just grabbing the tab. They also are very unobtrusive - I had to ask my son a couple of times if he still had his in because I couldn't see them . . . each time I asked he would turn his head and show me that they were still in . . .
I still have one more test for them - that will come Memorial Day weekend - I will be riding over 2,000 miles on my motorcycle - which means a couple of 8 - 10 hour days in the saddle - I will see how they fit and feel, and how much wind noise they block while letting the music and conversations flow through my helmet speakers. If they pass this test, they will be permanently affixed to my bike's keychain . . .
I was a little reluctant to spend $25 on a pair of ear plugs - But I am now Happy - VERY happy I did . . .
*********** UPDATE June 2, 2017 *************
These are fantastic for motorcycle use!! I put just under 3,000 miles on my bike since getting these. They go in and stay in and are comfortable enough for all day use (I had to check on them from time to time to make sure they were still there). More importantly, after a long day of riding - I did multiple 350 - 535 mile days - I took these puppies out and could hear. They block out the wind noise that damages your hearing. I ride with a half helmet - My bike's communication and audio systems are routed to helmet speakers. In the parking lot, these do mute the music a bit, but on the highway - I can hear the music and communications better because they eliminate the competing wind noise that usually over powers the music. I found that my ride was far more relaxing and enjoyable with these and will use them and my helmet speakers all the time now, not just when riding two up or in groups. In the past when riding solo, I routed the music to the bike's 4 external speakers - yeah the neighborhood could hear me coming - now they will just hear me signing along off key as I ride . . .
Another bonus - the case - I have had other ear plugs in plastic cases - when it goes in your pocket or sits on the bike - they get hot and bend or deform making them difficult to close and seal. This case is solid and keeps the ear plugs safe. It has found a permanent home on my motorcycle's key ring . . .
Thank You Eargasm!

At a concert right now
They really awesome concert plugs! I am sitting in a concert right now and I can clearly hear the music and lyrics, but not at the excessively loud volume that concerts typically are at (100+ db) it feels like we’re at 70-80db with these on. Will always bring these with me to protect my hearing but still enjoy the music! ❤️

I recently attended a Static-X and Sevendust concert wearing the Eargasm High Fidelity Earplugs. While the build quality and comfort are commendable, I found the noise reduction to be insufficient for the intense volume of a metal concert.
The listing claims a 21-decibel reduction, but the box states 16 decibels. In the high-decibel environment of a metal concert (often exceeding 110 decibels), the 16-decibel reduction proved inadequate for my comfort and safety. The audio quality remained clear, but the overall noise reduction didn't meet the demands of such a loud event.
I appreciate the solid seal and comfort these earplugs provide, and the carrying case is a nice touch. However, having to switch to backup earplugs due to the excessive volume was disappointing. It's worth noting that I experienced ringing in my ears after only a few songs.
While the additional $10 for a strap is a downside, the main drawback is the earplugs' limited noise reduction capabilities in high-decibel environments. If you're looking for reliable hearing protection at loud concerts, you might want to explore other options.
Edit: Eargasm reached out to ask if I was interested in trying some of the high DB filters which would provide increased noise reduction. They sent these to me and I tried them out. They still weren't exactly what I was looking for as, and when passing this feedback along to Eargasm they let me know they had refunded my entire purchase.
Although these earplugs may not be the right ones for me, I have to say that I fully support this company. They have been very receptive to my feedback and have helped me troubleshoot, and in the end when we weren't able to get the product working quite the way I needed it to, they refunded me. It's very rare to see a company truly stand by their product and have their consumers backs. For this reason, I have changed this review to 5 stars, and will be willing to give them a chance again in the future if they were to release a new model or earplug.
