Best Ear Plugs for Gigging

[spanny]

I've made several attempts to try to use ear plugs while playing, but the sound muffling is so bad, I can't get used to it. Any of you have any recommendations on what ear plugs to look at to where the sound coming through is clean, not muffled?

I've used these for over a decade (not the same pair, obviously). I wear them at every gig, every practice, every show I go to. I enjoy my hearing way too much to go without protection.

I like Hearos Hi Fidelity ear plugs.
Tried and true.

I like the Surefire earplugs. They were designed so soldiers could hear conversations, but suppress loud noises like gunfire. They have a pretty even noise reduction across frequencies and you can insert or remove the outer plug for more/less attenuation. They are comfortable, and discreet if you get them in the clear color. They have a few levels of earplugs but I've been happy with the basic EP3 set.

I had custom molds done and got Sensaphonic plugs made. Replaceable filters that come in 3 different Db drop levels.
No matter what you do there is some getting used to as it will always be different. For me a lot of it is mind over matter. My biggest issue is feeling a bit disconnected from the crowd.

My friend buy ear plugs from Aussie Ear Plugs which are 100% natural and moldable . You can check it if you are interested.
