Why the foam plugs came out by song two
Concerts are supposed to be loud. That's half the point, and some songs only hit at full volume.
But foam plugs don't turn a show down. They block it. The vocals and guitars get swallowed first while the bass thumps through, so the artist you paid to hear sounds like they're underwater. You pull them out, and you're back to choosing between hearing the show and walking out with your ears ringing.
You paid to hear the artist, not the girl next to you screaming into your ear.
From the people standing by the speakers
I always pulled foam plugs out by the second song. These stayed in the whole set and I could still hear every word.GA at a stadium tour
My ears are tiny and nothing ever fits. The XS tips did, and they didn't move while I was jumping all night.Festival weekend
Honestly I bought them for the look. The silver one sits right next to my helix piercing and nobody clocked it as an earplug.K-pop tour, two nights
The girl behind me screamed every lyric straight into my ear. With these in I heard the artist, not her, and I could still talk to my friends.Arena show, floor seats

Why these stay in when foam didn't
A filter, not a wall
The ring carries sound through and lowers it, so you never get that underwater feeling that made you pull foam out.
Four tips, including XS
Try each size in both ears and twist to lock in. Built to stay put no matter how much you dance.
Made to be seen
A polished ring that reads as another ear accessory, not a hearing aid. Nobody at the show has to know.
A case that lives on your keys
Foam plugs end up lost in a pocket. These clip to your keys or bag so they're there for the next show too.
How the ring turns it down
No audio jargon. This is the whole thing.
- Pick your tip and twist it inXS, S, M or L. M comes fitted. Twist until it sits snug and flush.
- Sound goes into the ringInstead of hitting foam, it travels through the ring and its filter.
- It comes out 17dB quieterSame show, same vocals, just at a volume you can stand next to all night.
Think of it as turning the speaker down instead of throwing a pillow over it.
Foam vs the ring, fit and sizes in 30 seconds. Sound on.
Pop them in before the opener
Ten seconds in your seat and you're set for the whole night. They twist in, sit flush and stay there from the opener to the encore.
Four tips, one will fit
Small ears are the reason most earplugs fall out. Start with the M that comes fitted, try each size in both ears, and keep the one that disappears.
Lives on your keys, not lost in a pocket
Foam plugs are easy to lose and gone after one night. These go back in the case on your keyring, ready for the next tour date.

Questions before your next show
I've bought earplugs before and they killed the sound. Why are these different?
Foam plugs block sound like a wall, so the vocals go first and the show turns to mush. Encore Earplugs send the sound through the ring and lower it by 17dB, so you get the same show at a lower volume. If they don't work for you, you have 90 days to send them back.
Will they sound tinny or kill the bass?
They don't add or boost anything. They lower what comes through the ring, so you hear the show's own mix, just quieter. A snug fit matters most here, so try each tip size in both ears. Still not your sound? The 90-day refund covers it.
Can I still talk to my friends?
Yes. Voices right next to you come through the ring too, just quieter, so you can still hear the person you came with between songs.
Will they stay in when I'm jumping in GA?
Pick the tip that fits snug, then twist to lock it in. When they're in right, they sit flush and don't stick out, so they stay put while you dance.
My ears are small. Will they fit?
That's what the XS tip is for. You get four sizes, XS, S, M and L. Try each one in both ears and keep the size that feels snug without pressure.
How much do they actually protect?
They lower sound by 17dB (SNR rating), so the show reaches your ears at a lower volume. They aren't a medical device and can't promise any hearing outcome. If you already have ringing that won't go away, see an audiologist.
Why $29.99 when foam plugs are $2?
Foam plugs are easy to lose, gone after one night, and the ones you end up pulling out protect nothing. One pair of Encore Earplugs is reusable at every show and lives in a case on your keys.
How do I keep them clean?
Wipe the ring and tips after each show and keep them in the case between wears. They're made to be worn day after day, night after night.
Will they get here before my show?
Orders are processed in 1 to 2 days, then delivered in 5 to 10 days. If your show is less than two weeks away, order today.
What if they're not for me?
You have 90 days to request a refund. Wear them to a show or two first and decide then.
