Minuendo Lossless Earplugs |
Norway-based Minuendo has its new Minuendo Lossless earplugs. Lossless because these earplugs use a patented, adjustable membrane inside each of them to reduce sound pressure levels without drastically changing the overall frequency balance as most 'ear corks' do. Unlike using swimming earplugs or those cheap foam ones, you get adjustable and transparent reduction of up to 25dB. You can avoid the feeling of "occlusion" or being separated or blocked out from other people and your surroundings when wearing a pair of these well-fitting earplugs.

Gigging musicians are often setup on stages too close to another player's loud guitar amp or big drum kit. Being able to reduce the level coming into one ear or the other solves an age-old problem diplomatically: being able to hear yourself and/or the rest of the band without problems.
If you attend a concert and it becomes too loud, you can re-adjust them individually while they are placed in your ears--there is no need to pull them out.
I did try them on my morning walk that often is on familiar sidewalks of busy streets and found them to work well once I got the fit correct. The Minuendos come with a whole set of various sizes of tips to fit any set of ears plus a cleaning kit, neck leash, and expert directions for their use. They have magnets on the outside so when you remove them they "stick" together in your pocket or in the included zippered carrying case.
Great for musicians, concertgoers, or just for dealing with overwhelming loud situations in modern life, Minuendo Lossless Earplugs sell for $159 MSRP.
They are sold through Soundbrenner in the US at: www.soundbrenner.com/shop-minuendo
