Vibes Hi-Fi Earplugs
Vibes Hi-Fidelity Earplugs (as seen on ABC's Shark Tank) are designed for musicians and concertgoers. Unlike traditional foam earplugs that block and muffle sounds, Vibes filter acoustics, meaning that they lower decibels (by an average of 22 dB across frequencies) without sacrificing sound quality. In other words, Vibes lower the volume of live music to a safer, more comfortable level, while still allowing you to hear the music clearly. Vibes' clear design makes them virtually invisible, allowing you to be discreet about wearing hearing protection.
Each pair also includes a pocket-sized carrying case and three sizes (S, M, L) of interchangeable eartips to ensure a comfortable fit for any sized ear.
Vibes is partnered with Hear the World Foundation, a global hearing health charity. A portion of their profits is donated to the Foundation, which provides education, hearing healthcare and hearing aids to children around the world in need.
HOW THEY WORK
Vibes are reusable earplugs designed for sound quality. Traditional foam earplugs are only decreasing the volume of high frequency (treble) sounds, but not low frequency (bass) sounds, which is what causes the sound that you hear to be distorted when you wear them. On the other hand, Vibes lower the volume of all sounds equally, from bass to treble, which allows you to hear sound clearly, just at a quieter volume.
Unlike traditional foam earplugs that block and muffle sound, Vibes filter sound. Using specially designed sound tubes that balance sound waves, and sound-enhancing acoustic filters that reduce decibel levels, Vibes allow you to protect your hearing health and stay comfortable in loud environments that would otherwise cause discomfort and hearing damage.
WHY THE WORLD NEEDS VIBES
Our modern world is loud. Until relatively recently, the loudest sounds in the world were things like a lion's roar and claps of thunder, so we never had a need to be able to process sounds louder than that. Now, when we encounter sounds like giant speakers at concerts or race car engines, our ears become strained and our ability to hear is damaged, because they aren't designed to be able to handle sounds that loud. Vibes allow you to experience the loud world we find ourselves in safely and comfortably, without inhibiting your ability to hear or communicate.

FAQ
Should I wear earplugs at concerts?
The science says, yes. The average concert is around a range of 98db - 110db and irreversible hearing damage can occur as low as 85db.
Are these only for live music?
No, although the primary use is for live music, Vibes helps increase speech intelligibility (compared to foam). In other words, you can still talk/hold conversation while wearing them. People find them useful in any loud situation where you are looking to lower decibel levels but still hear clearly. Examples:
- Bar staff
- Security staff
- Clubs
- Sporting events
- Movie theaters
- Individuals with sensory sensitivities
- Motorcycle riding
- Airplanes
- Concert photographers
*Vibes is not recommend for use while shooting guns or operating heavy machinery.
How do I use Vibes?
- Step 1: Choose your ear tip size (Small, Medium, Large)
- Step 2: Insert the earplugs (ear tip first) into your ear, just like you would insert earbud headphones.
- Step 3: Listen to one or two full songs at a live concert and slightly adjust the depth that the earplugs are inserted into the ear until the clarity is optimal. Do not insert into the inner ear canal. Enjoy live music as it's meant to be enjoyed: clear sound quality and no hearing damage!
