Music Filter Guide
10 dB Filters – Light protection.
Great for taking the edge off without dulling the experience. These are best for quieter music settings where clarity matters.
Recommended for:
- Classical music, acoustic sets, or singer-songwriter shows
- Musicians performing in small or moderate venues
- School gyms, kids’ sports, or casual sporting events
- Festivals where you're far from the speakers
15 dB Filters – Balanced Protection (most popular)
These are perfect for loud but not extreme environments, giving you clear sound and great communication while still protecting your ears.
Recommended for:
- Loud concerts, clubs, and dance competitions
- DJs, musicians, and sound engineers
- 1–3 hour jam sessions or live shows
- Racetracks, motorsports, and loud sporting events
- People who want natural, balanced sound with smart protection
20 dB Filters – Higher Protection
Same clarity as the 15s, but with a bit more noise reduction. Ideal for louder venues, longer sessions, or just dialing things down a bit more.
Recommended for:
