I'll just leave my review for the product but this will probably apply to most earplugs of the same design:
>"I DJ at home as a hobby and occasionally go out to see live DJs at various clubs. I started noticing some minor tinnitus so thought it was time I do something about it. These are VERY good for both those purposes. I dont use them too much when I DJ because I'm not in a loud setting, but I have practiced with them before and you can hear everything very well, just turned a little bit in volume.
>Last week I took them out to a club for the first time and I was a bit nervous they would dilute the sound.. but WOW. I didn't think the other reviewers were truthful when they said music sounds better live with these. There was no distortion, no muffled sound, and it was the perfect volume. I took them out for a few minutes to compare and the music was waay too loud and unbearable. You won't believe me when I say this either, but when they were out of my ears, the sound was a lot more muddy than when they were in. I'm sure it had to do with them canceling out a tiny bit of bass, but I did not feel like I was missing out on the lows whatsoever. In fact, you can get closer to the speakers and "feel" the bass without having to worry about your ears as much.
>I found one downside to these but it's not the fault of the manufacture and its probably common among most of these earplugs. I dont do anything nefarious at these clubs and electronic events, but I do really like meeting new people and socializing. When I would go to the smoking area I would usually take them out. One time, however, I forgot I had them in there (very comfortable) and I walked up to an individual I met earlier in the night to socialize. I was facing him head on and after about a minute I turned my face and I saw him look into my ears. He sort of kept looking "into" them for about 5 or 10 seconds with a puzzled look and he patted me on the shoulder and out of nowhere said he had to get going. I realized a few minutes later he 100% thought I was an undercover and left. Just something to think about. Take them out if you're not on the dance floor I guess.
>Other than that.. if you're into Techno.. these will NOT ruin the sound quality of all the interesting, pristine sounds we love to enjoy. In fact, you will enjoy live events far more. My only regret is I did not get them sooner. I recommend them Jeff Mills/10."
The undercover thing is different in Europe since earplugs are more common. The best earplugs will be custom made for your ear.
For anyone reading this, do yourself a favor and protect your ears. Talk to anyone with bad tinnitus and they will tell you how hellish it can be. Falling asleep is sometimes impossible, anxiety through the roof, not being able to hear is frustrating as hell... Just please.. Protect yourself. Look up videos or go on tinnitus forums of testimonies. I personally started getting tinnitus about 6 months ago and went to see a doctor. Got my ears cleaned, stopped using q tips, got some earplugs, and it miraculously went away. I got lucky. Anymore events without them and I would be looking at a lifetime of tinnitus. It's not fun.
Also yea, stop using q tips. When you chew food your jaw naturally pushes earwax to the end of your ear. It will fall out by itself. If not, use the water method to get it out. Trust me on this.
Additionally, if you live in the UK, pretty sure you get a subsidy on custom earplugs if you are a musician.. though I'm not sure what the process is. I read it on here once but didn't look further into it.
If this is what you're interested in check out [Klang Der Familie] (http://www.residentadvisor.net/news.aspx?id=26331) which is specifically about the relationship between Berlin, the fall of the wall and techno. Not very academic but great primary material.
Also, [Tobias Rapp's Lost and Sound: Berlin, Techno und der Easyjetset] (http://www.amazon.de/Lost-Sound-Easyjetset-suhrkamp-taschenbuch/dp/3518460447) is about the period just after techno became the sound of Berlin and the city blew up (because of cheap flights and techno-tourism). There's an English translation out there somewhere.
This book!
It is the best book I've read that goes into the history between Detroit and Berlin and their impact on techno as a whole.
I reckon this is a pretty good compilation for anyone who's into any form of dance music: http://www.amazon.com/Love-Techno-Classics-Year-Techno/dp/B000CCZ3BC
I like the V-Moda Faders https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B007TEQNBK
I've taken my mum to a couple of concerts. You may want to get her some decent earplugs so she can hear the music without getting deafened. Something like these that dampen the sound without killing the high end. Local music shops should have similar.
Without knowing the club at all, I don't see why you'd have any trouble as long as she's a paying customer.
Read this definitely. Bio on the start of German Techno and some of the Early pioneers from Detroit being booked in European clubs for the first time.

I got these a while ago and was very happy with them. They offer decent protection without distorting the sound too much. They're a whole lot better than nothing.
Eventually I decided to upgrade to custom molded ones, which was a significant upgrade in both comfort and how little the audio gets distorted. It costs quite a bit, but I have absolutely no regrets.
He got fucked over by the border in 1995. Also, acid wasn't the reason he was banned from the states, although he did have quite a few copies of Sheet One in his car. Imagine having to test every single tab for LSD lol.
