{"product_id":"soft-landings-soundcontrol-acoustic-earplugs","title":"Soft Landings SoundControl Acoustic Earplugs (18dB)","description":"\u003cp\u003eHi-fi-style festival earplugs: clear silicone shells with a removable acoustic filter that Soft Landings rates at up to 18 dB of reduction. The brand says the filter lowers volume evenly across the frequency range, so the mix and your friends' voices stay clear, just quieter. The shells come in small and regular sizes, and there's a carry pouch. Built for dusty desert festival camps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy we picked this\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBack in the '80s, earplugs at shows were rare. Now the smart people on the rail wear them. The problem with foam plugs is that they turn a set into mud, so people pull them out, and a plug in your pocket does nothing. Filtered plugs that keep the music clear are the ones people actually leave in, and that's the whole point. These are clear, so they're close to invisible, and you get two shell sizes, which matters because fit is where most earplugs fail. We've used Soft Landings' drink and recovery mixes ourselves and they work great for us, so we trust the brand. This pick rests on that trust plus the earplugs' design and published specs. If you want plugs for sleeping next to a sound camp, get a dedicated sleep plug like \u003ca href=\"\/products\/loop-quiet-earplugs\"\u003eLoop Quiet\u003c\/a\u003e.

Wash only the silicone shells, by hand, with lukewarm soapy water and no alcohol or harsh cleaners. Dry the shells fully before you put the filters back in.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoft Landings says the shells last about 100 uses and suggests replacing the earplugs every 2–3 years.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e18 dB is the brand's own rating for these filters.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBuying from Soft Landings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSoft Landings sells this direct from its own site.
