For the Diehard Concert Fan
VIBES EARPLUGS
For many of us, live music is a way of life. Whether it’s your brother who lives for sweaty dive-bar punk bands or your best friend who is always at the club catching EDM shows, the one constant across genres is that when we see live music, our ears take a pounding.
Research shows that sound over 85 decibels (dB) can cause hearing damage. Unfortunately, most concerts clock in between 98 to 110 dB. This means that each time our loved ones go out to see their favorite bands, they’re potentially putting their hearing at risk.
Enter Vibes, the ear plugs made to enhance live music, not dull it.
Designed to lower dB levels without sacrificing clarity, Vibes are ear plugs without a downside. They’ve mastered comfort with soft, durable ear tips. They’re engineered to filter all frequences equally, so you’ll never miss a note. Worried about looking like a dork? Fear not! Vibes are sleek and discreet, featuring a clear outer sound tube that’s essentially invisible.
Your friends and family shouldn’t have to worry about damaging their ears while enjoying Slash’s brain-melting guitar solos or an earthquake of bass at a deadmau5 show. With Vibes, they’ll be able to focus on what’s really important: rocking out.
