Alpine has updated its hearing protection model MusicSafe Pro, which has been specifically developed for musicians. The revised MusicSafe Pro continues to be the most luxurious and extensive edition of the Alpine music range, with three sets of exchangeable filters for low, medium and high protection, allowing you to determine your own protection.
Depending on the instrument you are playing and the kind of music you are playing, you can always choose the protection that suits you best.
Alpine's MusicSafe Pro plugs feature unique AlpineAcousticFilters with selective absorption, which guarantees optimal protection against harmful noise levels, while preserving excellent music quality.
About the filters The Alpine MusicSafe Pro earplugs do not make you feel isolated, allowing you to remain in touch with your surroundings, for instance during a studio recording. This allows for optimal performance.
Alpine's MusicSafe earplugs for drummers muffle only the high-frequency sounds. These are actually two volume buttons you wear in your ears. You hear the band's sound completely, just a little more softly. At the same time, you can talk to other band members as normal.
The filters are made from a durable, flexible thermoplastic substance. Due to the warmth of the ear it adapts to the shape of the auditory duct and thus fits the ear very comfortably. They can be easily cleaned with lukewarm water and a little soap.
Alpine's updated MusicSafe Pro ear plugs are available for € 24.95 (less than 33.50 USD or 20.00 GBP).
Why good hearing (protection) is essential As a drummer or percussionist you face significant risk of hearing damage as you're often in an environment with loud music.
What starts with a temporary peeping in the ears after a practice session or gig often ends up as permanent deafness. As a musician, this is the last thing you want.
Because your hearing is the most essential gear, hearing loss has a direct negative impact on the performance of your profession or passion. Good hearing is essential and properly protecting your hearing is important during rehearsals, performances and concerts.
