I, and some other people here, use Downbeats earplugs. $14. Great protection. And they still let a lot of the sound in and make the show sound great. It's not muffled like a standard solid earplug, it just kind of mutes the roar. Also they are basically invisible, so if you're self conscious about wearing them (you shouldn't be), there's that.
I've had one pair for years and they are still going strong. Very much worth the money. The #1 thing I regret about my showgoing life is not wearing plugs when I was younger. I'm only in my late 20s now and my hearing is pretty bad. Don't go to another show without them.
I made an Android app that does this too,
/r/metalcore posters were my first beta testers when I was developing it, now it's about to break 10k downloads ��
It's easier for me to just link my RYM list of it here. The biggest one is BMTH though. It being a guilty pleasure doesn't mean I think it's bad. Just something not accepted within the general music community, or at least over on RYM.
2000's* cough cough
95.72% are from outside the US, good on you sir
Although 40.46% of Reddit users are from the US, so idk

Use this site mate. It gets updated every Friday with metalcore and similar genres and you can listen to the bands through this site. As far as I'm aware it should be legal because all you're really doing is listening to Spotify through third party site.
Rateyourmusic is a great one.
They have a list for metalcore and melodic metalcore. You can change the year, so next year just set it to 2016 and bam.
Not sure why, but it's been six dollars since the album was announced. I preordered it right when I saw it, assuming it was a pricing mistake that'd get fixed. I'm surprised it's still that price a day before release.
Metalcore is its own genre imo. Also, it's been around since before '97, more like '90.
I'm pretty sure part of the reason it's banned on those subs is the logistics of figuring out which metalcore bands do and don't fit there.
The rateyourmusic lists for metalcore and melodic metalcore.
How so? It fits every definition of melodic metalcore, with some thrash and prog influences. Yeah, they've strayed away from the genre on a couple of releases, but the majority of their body of work, definitely including TSATS, is textbook melodic metalcore.
I can do drums, guitars, vocals, bass. We should arrange it in guitar pro format for the composition, that way everyone can edit it and suggest changes :)
Sample cover (to show off vocals mostly): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZ7LhDDH8Q0 Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Galactic-Pegasus/202513679771659
So far there are 5 metalcore albums that have been released this year, to my knowledge.
The Order of Elijah - War at Heart
Bury Tomorrow - Earthbound
Eglise - Eglise
My Dear Addiction - Kill the Silence
After the Burial - Dig Deep (haven't listened yet, but all the tracks have been posted here, it's not on spotify yet though)
Personally, aside from KSE I have no idea what's coming out. I'm just watching this list for new releases.
Absolutely. Saves so much money instead of buying multiple $10+ albums every month, you just spend $10 and can listen to thousands of songs. Also, there's a 50% student discount here! You just need a valid EDU email I think.
I work as a Cloud Engineer and have the same question. I do Python and Flask work on the side. It would be cool to create a Classifier with an API endpoint in order to query similar music in "the Scene". I would also love to scrape YouTube (similarly to how NewPipe does) in order to know when new music videos come out and are sent to me rather than having to be on YouTube. And some sort of RSS feed could be made and indexed a kin to Podcasting 2.0. The feed would be derived from channels and keywords to identify bands. We need a huge JSON output of band names that can continually be updated. Something like that must exist already someplace that is public and open.
Try Songsterr.com, it's basically free guitar pro tabs. I use it all time since you can play back the tab and see if it's correct by hearing it cause it's basically guitar pro.
Link: http://www.songsterr.com (It's free btw dunno if that was clear or not)
Sempiternal definitely. But just look at the reviews for There Is a Hell
>you've rated far over 100 albums!
I've only rated 41 albums actually. I recently overhauled my rating system and started over. If you're thinking of the right rym profile that is.
Count Your Blessings was an ok deathcore release, Suicide Season (imo) is a minor step up but it's extremely repetitive. There is a Hell is somewhere on the lower end of solid and Sempiternal on the higher end of solid. Imo anyway.
I've only rated Count Your Blessings at the moment, but look at this list of everything I've rated for sort of a context of quality (2 is boring 2.5/3 are decent, 3.5 is solid, 4 is amazing, 4.5/5 are mindblowing). Suicide Season would probably be somewhere between Dreamcatchers and Scream Aim Fire. There is a Hell would be somewhere between Genesis, and Beneath the Encasing of Ashes. Sempiternal would be somewhere between Promulgation of the Fall and Under the Church.
I personally love the Sennheiser HD280 Professional Headphones. They have amazing quality for all kinds of music since they're studio headphones, and they're not all that expensive for the quality you get from them.
that is what my band writes with. and we record using the midi drums from tabit and export them and edit them with something like superior drummer, you should send me some stuff and let me check it out. edit: my soundcloud if you are interested
Try google:
"Barbara they're coming to get you barbara" song
Turned up with this song for me, They're Coming To Get You Barbara by Put Her In The Trunk
I actually just found out, the band was called Honeywell. Link to their rateyourmusic https://rateyourmusic.com/artist/honeywell. They have an album and some EPs, check a few of them out and you'll get an idea of what it sounds like.
Bandcamp is an amazing website for bands - see http://bandcamp.com/tag/metalcore
Somehow I managed to miss Suicide Silence's release. They're touring, which is cool, and its only a 3 hour and 15 minute drive one way. Heeellll Yeaaaahhh
Checked on tour dates and Within the Ruins is touring with Suicide Silence.

The best thing I can suggest is to get spotify, and then commit some time to following the "related artists" train for a good few hours, you'd be surprised how many new great bands are out there that you haven't heard of. (Disclaimer: you're going to filter through a huge amount of shit before you find something you like).
Here's some you might like, that are some of my personal favourites;
- Sycamour
- Crown the Empire
- Heart of a Coward
- Silent Planet
- The Ongoing Concept
- Miss Fortune
- Life on Repeat
- I, The Mighty
- Heartist
- Ghost Atlas
- Beartooth
- Forget Tomorrow
- Fit For a King
- Exotype
- Every Time I Die
- Defeat The Low
- Currents
- Come The Dawn
- Annisokay
These are not any particular genre, just some off the top of my head that I enjoy and you might too.
Before Spotify I used to use these resources;
Happy hunting.
I'd recommend checking out this list.
Hand of Blood is pretty good. It's on their Self Titled EP and their Hand of Blood EP which are the same EP just one has a video. And IMO is their best release. Even though it doesn't have Eye of the Storm.
In addition to the list /u/moshlyfe gave you, browse this metalcore list and this melodic metalcore list. You can change the year at the top
> Their electro influence album was probably my least favourite of bmth personally
I wasn't a fan of those myself. The drum n bass one was just OK and drown was kind of...radio rock.
>If you've been on allmisic.com you can see their genre labeling and its cringing to say the least, very artist that screams gets screao pretty much.
I haven't been on allmusic, but that sounds terrible. Rateyourmusic is pretty good with its genre tagging. At least I think it is. It labels Oathbreaker as Crust Punk, Hardcore Punk, and Atmospheric Sludge Metal.
>There is music which clean singing would just destroy, I personally think oathbreaker and ETID both do it really well.
Keiths cleans aren't just done well imo. They make ETID a much better band.
>Yep that was me, I remember, their album eros|anteros is amazing, its got sick riffs, some solos, moody singing, semi black metal screaming but with hardcore speed at times, no breakdowns that I can think of. Also try out Amenra mass iii which is sludgy metal/hardcore with balck metal influences great album, its sucks you.
I'll give both of a listen for sure. I'm listening to Oathbreaker's first album atm. Digging it so far.
>I'm not really a big BMTH dude, but Sempiternal has some solid tracks and I think its a lot better than their early stuff, personally
I'm not a diehard BMTH fan either. But Sempiternal is a pretty solid release. They just get better with each one though.
>personally."screamo" was the tag and its the wrong tag,
Yeah. Can't expect hot topic to be too informed on genres I guess.
>real screamo is like City of Catepillar
Real screamo is very different from what most people call screamo. Very different.
> I personally never really been a fan of clean vocals in heavy music excluding some gems.
I can understand how you might feel that way. I know it wouldn't be right if some stuff had cleans. Like if I was listening to Katalepsy and they suddenly broke out into a clean chorus. I'd be more confused than anything.
>Don't feel bad for dismissing KSE i dismissed Converge and i thought why the fuck is this so highly regarded, the vocals are terrible but then i cam back and they are one of my favourite metalcore acts
I remember the reason I did it was "hey wow these guys are pretty good, if this is how good the mainstream gets, there must be stuff out there that's way better". I was wrong.
>Did you like Oathbreaker? I'm sure i told you to check them out, they were the black metal mixed with hardcore/metalcore
I don't know if it was you, but someone here definitely told me to check them out. I didn't get around to it though. I have some stuff I've already been told to check out. But I'll give it a listen when I finish this album.
You could always rate stuff for yourself.
Hell, do what I'm doing. Rate stuff and find a track that hasn't been posted here yet and post it for some sweet karma and exposure for the track. Keep an eye on this list and keep up with new shit. You can add people as friends on there and compare your ratings to theirs too.
I've listened to Augment a couple of times, but it's been a while since I did. I recall liking it though. But that was around this time last year.
It was actually in my top 10 Metalcore albums last year.
This was asked just recently, but I'll answer again.
I do listen to some metal. I spend most of my time rating music so I listen to a lot of stuff. I don't always go back to it though.
Punk not so much. Not yet anyway.
Pretty much this.
As much as I prefer the melodeathy stuff with cleans, I still love the newer stuff like OM&M and Secrets too.
Honestly. As long as the riffs are melodic or groovy and the choruses are catchy, I"ll still love Metalcore.
The only stuff I can't seem to like is the more Hardcore leaning stuff like Throwdown and Hatebreed, with the exception of Mathcore like Dillinger/Converge or Ringworm's Hammer of the Witch. Anything on this list (metalcore starts on page 2 I liked quite a bit.
I typically go with what rateyourmusic says about genres, and they list them as Pop Punk, Metalcore, and Post Hardcore.
It might be different from album to album though, I've listened to CC. And they sounded more Pop Punk than Metalcore to me.
That's Any Given Day, this is Given the Day.
This list might help. Hopefully anyway. This one too.
I have these by a brand called DownBeats https://www.amazon.ca/DownBeats-Reusable-Fidelity-Hearing-Protection/dp/B00A3Z44R2?pd_rd_w=IxXW1&pf_rd_p=fa0242a7-bed3-4aea-a205-789ddce9f620&pf_rd_r=8JSKZW5TNVDPTRKJ2K22&pd_rd_r=cf7e5e06-ddc6-4d17-a1c8-a61845b7e2ee&pd_rd_wg=euljP&...
They have served me well so far and I’ll continue to use them but honestly it’s been so long since live music that that I can’t say if I’d recommend them 😂 also I haven’t used any other brand before
I asked their singer on Facebook and he send me one. It actually arrived 1 day earlier. Shipping was hella expensive though (I am from europe)
Idk about vinyl will look into it though. Where are you from?
In Germany you can get CD on Amazon
Check out Earasers they're $40 and easily one of my favorite music-related purchases. You can also get them 2-day shipped for free if you have Amazon Prime so that helps.
I use NordVPN. It's a subscription service VPN. I just click Australia when I open the app, then it routes my IP address through Australian servers. Boom, Australian internet - including AUS YouTube, which thinks you're past midnight for releases
Etymotic Research ER20XS High-Fidelity Earplugs (Concerts, Musicians, Airplanes, Motorcycles, Sensitivity and Universal Hearing Protection) - Standard Fit, Clear Stem, Clear/Frost https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00RM6Q9XW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_2K87H6E1152YFA4VQR9C?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
These are the ones I used a few weeks ago to see wage war and they were great.
Yeah! if you can make it work with what you already have, that's definitely the best option.
assuming I understand what you mean by headphone amp (replacing an amp with something you can play through with headphones), and you can stretch your budget a hair this guy is bonkers good for how cheap it is. Mooer also makes a cheaper one (GE100) but I don't know if it's any good as it uses different firmware.
https://www.amazon.com/Focusrite-Scarlett-Audio-Interface-Tools/dp/B07QR6Z1JB
This is all you need. And then whatever amp you want. All the Neural ones are fantastic, Gojira is my fav sim right now, but you can do 14 day trials of all of them until you find one you like.
Although, I also just moved into an apartment and can't use my speakers anymore and it sounds horrid through my hyperX gaming headset lol. So I also would like to know whats a good headset to use for this.
I always use them, they really improve shows for me. If you get some I recommend getting these types:
You can hear everything quite well with these rather than the spongy ones. You can also keep them on your keys :)
I'm not a big fan of the ear plugs with multiple tiers, like the Eargasm or Earpeace. I've found that Vibes feels the most comfortable for me and it still limits sound even better than expected (based on reviews I read)
I've used these at the last 3 shows I've gone to and they've been amazing.
​
Sure, I got these ones: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B019M576XW
When you get them, here's a fun experiment:
- Queue up a song, but don't play it yet.
- Turn the volume up to what you'd normally consider REALLY LOUD
- Put the ear plugs in and play the song.
- Get confused because you don't think they're doing anything and aren't working.
- Take them out, realize they WERE working. Mind blown.
I personally like Etymotic earplugs. They have a long history of making earbuds, are more affordable, and have a better sound range than eargasms.
Oh, it's about the battle in which Attila the Hun was defeated, more or less. At least that's the easy way of explaining it to people.
https://www.amazon.com/Battle-Catalaunian-Fields-AD451-Transformation/dp/1526745658
I'm old enough to be your mom so take my suggestions with a grain of salt. I think this book would be a fantastic gift. https://www.amazon.com/Charlie-Choo-Choo-world-Dark-Tower/dp/1534401237 Beryl Evans is the pseudonym adopted by Stephen King for his picture book Charlie the Choo-Choo. Really creepy and fun!
Also, if you decide to get her something else, please don't get her clothes and guess her size. lol
I had a buddy with the same issue, he switched over to these: https://www.amazon.com/Vibes-High-Fidelity-Concert-Earplugs/dp/B018WPOQSG and he had nothing but good things to say about "Vibes". I'm an Eargasm guy myself but there's a lot of good options out there.
New episode up, just letting you know :)
Technical difficulties toward the middle, but it was a fun episode overall. Next one should be all professional and blunderless, hopefully
Just letting you know there is a new episode up, no pressure haha
Fixed another echo problem, but the voices get a little distant for about 20-25 minutes toward the middle. Hopefully we'll be free of any blunders on the next recording
WEAR👏EAR👏 PLUGS👏. Save yourself and you're hearing. Cheap, disposable foam ones will do fine but I always reccommend these if you are looking for a more permanent pair.
Search BOSPOD on Apple Podcasts or Spotify or go here: https://www.buzzsprout.com/424669
All the episodes they’ve put out are great but I really enjoyed the chat with Chris Wiseman. Hearing how he got into Currents, how he manages the time between them and Shadow of Intent, and how he approaches both bands musically was really cool.
Everynoise is really good for finding new stuff. Here's a link to the new releases page for metalcore.
http://everynoise.com/new_releases_by_genre.cgi?genre=metalcore&region=US
>3 Inches of Blood
I've only listened to one album, but that one definitely wasn't metalcore. It was more power metal.
>Austrian Death Machine
No idea.
>Battlecross
Haven't heard them.
>The Black Dahlia Murder
Definitely not metalcore. Dahlia are melodeath through and through.
>DevilDriver
Yeah. Groove metal/ melodeath mix.
>Five Finger Death Punch
I've always considered them hard rock, but I'm only familiar with War is the Answer and The Way of the Fist.
>Hacktivist
I've only heard a couple songs, but they could be.
>Light This City
Never heard of them.
>Mammoth Grinder
See Light This City
>Marmozets
See Light This City
>Pyrithion
Encyclopedia Metallum lists them as death metal, so I'm gonna go with that.
>Revocation
Tech thrash, definitely not metalcore.
>Soul Embraced
I haven't heard them, but Dead Alive is listed as metalcore.
>Sylosis
Their first album was metalcore imo, their latest is just melodeath/thrash. Not sure about their other material.
>We Are Harlot
No clue, probably not since it's Danny's band.
We actually uploaded all of the stem tracks online so here they are if any of you guys are into recording, which is how we got this mix!

or
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-LJpjJeSlrheFNRLTJobjNtRms/edit?usp=sharing
for the compressed file! Post any other mixes you may have on here.
Tech stuff: 88.2 Sample Rate 150 BPM 24 Bit Song Name: A Sunken Ship Band Name: Audrey Rose Genre: Metalcore
Here's a decent one as an example
Really just boosts the sound more than the headphones alone can, and gives you a little more control
Do you mean like the font from LF//LT?
I tried to use a font identifying website and got this: https://www.fontsquirrel.com/matcherator?token=3q5jo6lc83ceo6vg#scroll_to_matches
Lenga ExtraBold Heavy and Leo Medium look really close but I think they're both very slightly different.
Or is that a different font you're looking for?
If you're looking for a site for tabs, Songsterr is amazing. Considering how great and complicated their tab player is, they have an amazing selection of songs.
As for bands, I'd suggest Erra, August Burns Red, and Phinehas.
I'm subbed to a few on Youtube, but I mostly just use this list for finding new stuff.
I guess my favorite is Trustkill. Not necessarily current, but some of their bands were Bleeding Through, BFMV, Shai Hulud, It Dies Today, Eighteen Visions, & Poison the Well.
Honestly, I don't listen to EPs that often. The only metalcore EPs I've heard are Zombie by TDWP and Forever Scorned by It Dies Today.
You could check here
There were actually two EP's before Conclusion of an Age. Casting Shadows in 2006, and The Supreme Oppressor in 2008.
I think To Build a Tomb & Victims and Pawns were my favorites.
Here is a very easy way of checking https://rateyourmusic.com/genre/Metalcore/
To tell you the truth, I kind of posted this as most people wouldn't answer it properly ahaha and i thought it'd be funny as you see the same question in /r/metal.
I'm going to be honest. The only AA album I've liked at all was From Death to Destiny. I haven't heard The Irony of Your Perfection though.
>Is metalcore getting stale?
I've only been listening to metalcore since 2013, but I'm pretty sure the genre has always been pretty stale. In the sense that there are a few original bands and then a million clones of each of those. Unless you get into the mathcore side of it, but I don't.
> are there good bands out there that I am totally missing?
Of course. I think something that would be worth doing is going to rateyourmusic's lists for melodic metalcore and metalcore and checking out what you find there. You can search it by year, the links I used are set to 2015.
>Why is your rating for The Poison higher than your rating for SAF though?
It's not. Scream Aim Fire is 3.00 and The Poison is 2.68.
>I can absolutely understand that BFMV are not your cup of tea but it really surprises me that there's not even one standout song for you?
What? There are multiple standout songs. Look at my rating system. 3.3+ (save for interludes) is solid. Any track given a 3.5 is something I'd deem worthy of being put on a playlist (save for interludes) .
Probably. You get used to a bands sound and listen to something of theirs with a different sound, and it's going to be harder to get into. The more unique the sound, the harder it is.
Kezia is by no means a bad album, I don't think it deserves the #1 spot as best melodic metalcore record that rym gives it.
Killswitch Engage - Everything except the second self titled.
All That Remains - The Fall of Ideals
Atreyu - The Curse
The Agony Scene - The Darkest Red
Haste the Day - Burning Bridges, When Everything Falls, and Pressure the Hinges
Demon Hunter - The Tryptich, and Storm the Gates of Hell
More Than a Thousand - Vol. 5: Lost at Home
Into Eternity - The Scattering of Ashes (no breakdowns here, and it's not metalcore. But it has the riffing, unclean vocals, and clean vocalsO).
As I Lay Dying - An Ocean Between Us, and Awakened
It Dies Today - The Caitiff Choir
Of Mice & Men - Self titled, and The Flood
Sacred Mother Tongue - The Ruin of Man
And hit up this list.
I'm not wholly sure myself, since I wasn't around back then. I do know that Integrity had the first actual release in the genre according to rateyourmusic.
I did.
Like I said, I've listened to it once. After I've caught up with this years Metalcore, or what I can of the ~80 albums left that I haven't gotten to I'm going to work on rating all of the bigger bands in the genre. ABR will be one of the first ones.
As is though, I've got to get through as many of the albums on this list that aren't on this list as I can by the end of December.
This list might help, the vast majority of the stuff on it should fit that description.
For some specific bands:
Killswitch Engage
Haste the Day
Of Mice & Men (first two albums)
As I Lay Dying
More Than a Thousand (the two newest albums)
Darkest Hour (newest album only)
Secrets
The Agony Scene have some songs like that, especially My Dark Desire.
I like both of them about evenly. There are a couple of tracks I like on HTTK though. Doing Time, and Coming Home. Where Waking the Fallen only has two tracks that dip under the 3.5/5 score (Waking the Fallen, and Radiant Eclipse) and has seven tracks that are 4+ (Unholy Confessions, Chapter Four, Remenissions, Desecrate Through Reverence, Eternal Rest, Second Heartbeat, And All Things Will End) , HTTK only has four songs that get above 3.5 (HTTK, Planets, Coming Home, Doing Time). It's not as bad as say the reviews here make it out though.
I'm not a native london speaker, I just used dict cc and it showed brackets. Thank you for explaining/helping me. In austria we always say the same word for all 3 except in math because it matters a lot which one you mean.
Along with what everyone else said, I highly recommend if you are going to be browsing from your computer's browser any length of time you ought to install Reddit Enhancement Suite. It's a fantastic add-on for your browser(whatever flavor that may be) and adds a lot of great features to the reddit interface. Also there are a lot of good reddit apps for mobile devices.
https://redditenhancementsuite.com/
A really good way to search this site for things too is to go to Google and in the search box type the following:
site:reddit.com <your search term>
You can use that to search any site, but it's especially useful for finding things on here.
If you're a fan of metalcore...........welcome to /r/metalcore! There's lots of good tunes posted on here.
This is an awesome song. I just found out the meaning behind it today, but I've been listening to it for weeks. If you want to read the graphic novel it's based on, you can get it here:

You'll also need a CBR reader:

It's a short read, might take you 15 minutes. It's worth it.
By the way, here's a note for people who might find this cover "uninspired".
My brother is a sound engineer to-be, so let's say he mostly does covers to practice his guitar playing, sound making, mixing, and mastering, and not necessarily to do a new, unique version of each song.
He could have easily done that, but that just wasn't the aim of this particular cover. The aim here was to emulate the extremely polished but catchy and distinct sound of Killswitch Engage. You can check out some more metal covers from him here.
Coincidence?
Edit: Now that I'm thinking about it more, the leaves in Elegies are probably being blown by the magical wind but still - leaves. I'll still leaf this here though.
Thank you so much!
Do you mean the pinch harmonics? I just learned how to do those by watching pinch harmonic videos many years ago online and then just sorta fumbled and practiced in my own way until I got them right. I still don't always nail them first time. Can take ages to perfect.
I don't read for leisure so I can't say. However, fun fact...our bassist Calum is on the cover of our friend's book:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bae-Pay-Melissa-Steel/dp/1527272478
We would love to come to the US at some point!
My thoughts: https://www.amazon.com/Bravado-Austin-Carlile-T-Shirt-X-Small/dp/B00HYGJN06
Nah just kidding but ever since he left this band is just not the same. (Even tho Cold World was already awful with him)
No charisma and its just generic safe as fuck metalcore
A couple years ago we used to go JQBX. That shit was fun idk why I stopped using it, might start again. But basically 10 of us can be in a room and choose to be DJs, each person picks a track on rotation. Used to find a lot of good shit that way
I'll say this: you DEFINITELY should be wearing earplugs to concerts. You will get permanent hearing damage if you don't. Add to recommendations, I've seen many people here recommend these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B019M576XW?pd_rd_i=B019M576XW&pd_rd_w=TR7q9&pf_rd_p=5a4c43eb-7872-4818-a785-e153f6c73149&pd_rd_wg=oxujT&pf_rd_r=MCN8X146DSB5HTEDG0H0&pd_rd_r=3e5e8e83-22b2-4fb6-b1b7-5ce80b824872
I've never used them, I usually go with these: https://www.amazon.com/Peltor-Tri-Flange-Corded-Reusable-Earplugs/dp/B000DZF7T6/ref=mp_s_a_1_24?dchild=1&keywords=ear+plugs+3m&qid=1633293898&sr=8-24
Hi, I recently went to a concert, and despite wearing 33 db foam earplugs still had a bit of ringing in my ears the next day. I'm looking to go to more concerts soon and don't want that to happen again so I am looking for earmuffs to wear on top of the earplugs. I have a couple questions:
1. Would wearing earmuffs on top of earplugs help reduce db levels at a significant level?
2. Does anyone have recommendations for earmuffs that provide high db protection but are also reasonably comfortable for extended periods of time? I've been looking at these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00009LI4K?pf\_rd\_r=4ZVJBN7VJR7X4R7H9A2X&pf\_rd\_p=8fe9b1d0-f378-4356-8bb8-cada7525eadd&pd\_rd\_r=a8395ffb-75fd-4929-a87c-4e8c0d51be2d&pd\_rd\_w=BOCV2&pd\_rd\_wg=swlFr&ref\_=pd\_gw\_unk or https://www.amazon.com/ClearArmor-141001-Shooters-Protection-Folding-Padded/dp/B00NKSMPZW/ref=sr\_1\_1\_sspa?dchild=1&keywords=Clear%2BArmor%2BShooters%2BHearing%2BProtection%2B141001&qid=1631457466&sr=8-1-spons&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUX...
Thanks :)
They might be pricey but these are the best ear plugs I’ve ever worn. They are reusable too:
Have you ever gotten into in-ear-Monitors? I use these IEMs called KZ. They’re from china but really really amazing for the price. I’m specifically using these ones called KZ ZS10 Pro been using them since december with no problems so far.
I mainly listen to Metalcore, Post-hardcore, Pop-punk, Indie rock and some stoner rock. They sound splendid.
