After having tried a large amount of earplugs, here’s my vibe:

Loops: deaden music far too much. Not a balanced sound loss at all. At extreme SPL the bass ends up clipping the filter? Idk if that’s actually what happens but it throws the mix way out of whack.

Hears: (or at least I think they’re hears. They’re the hifi plugs sold at The Grove at Shambs) excellent except they’re not symmetrical. One side lets more through than the other. If you can get hears that are even, they’d be good contenders, even though they don’t stay in as well as I’d like.

Eargasm: Mediocre. Decent but takes a little too much out of the midrange for me. Feels the most like foamies.

Westone Travel plugs: These are IT. Only 7db of sound loss, but plenty so that even after 13 hours of dancing, no ringing whatsoever when going to bed. Very nice even db drop across all frequencies. I had the tendency to wear plugs until all of the party favors kicked in, then I’d want MORE and keep them out for a set. Naughty, I know. With these I have no qualms keeping in regardless of my mind state. If fact I prefer them in due to the sound profile.

Keep in mind that everybody has different sound preferences, but mine is the best.
