    Any are better than none. Don't delay. Get some and use them always.

    Custom if you can afford it. Otherwise, Etymotics ER20.

    Play better quality tracks. Lower quality MP3s cause ear fatigue much faster at higher volume than lossless files do. Also, custom fitted earplugs are a must whenever you're not playing and just "hangin' at da club"

    I usually use a pair of standard earplugs used in factories. Works very well in my opinion

    But as people already mentioned in this thread, custom ones would be A LOT better I guess

    Custom earplugs are expensive but worth every penny

    To keep it local with DJTT, I've been using these: https://store.djtechtools.com/products/vmoda-faders-vip

    One day I'll go custom, or the ones that actively change dampening with custom fit tips.

    I've used ER20's for 5 years and they have been good. However a recent night out and my tinnitus has increased so not 100% protection.

    i've never tried ear plugs. i really enjoy being able to hear and feel all of the music. can you still do that with earplugs on?
