MusicSafe Pro Earplugs [from the Alpine website]:

Narq16db? Not what I would call good enough protection for a musician. Not
saying that is their intent but, I had hopes...Peace!

DrummingManI agree. I have a pair and even with the gold filters, it's far from being enough protection in high decibel environments.

NarqGood to have performance information, nice of you to share it. I wasn't sure exactly what to make of NRR, but found detailed dB info on their website. All the models are different, but even with their data I'm not sure which Party Plug numbers to compare with Music Safe Pro's "Attenuation values." "Mean Attenuation," or "Assumed Protection," or neither? And I still don't know exactly what NRR is.

dvorcolHere is a somewhat more mathematically evolved explanation of attenuation values vs noise reduction ratings (and forgive me if this oversimplified for your needs): http://www.howardleight.com/images/pdf/0000/0264/Sound_Source_6A_NRR_Calculation.pdf

NarqThanks, I knew it was not a simple calculation. The Party Plug has the most protection of all the options, but it seems odd that it's NRR is specified as a range (16.5 – 21.5) while the Music Safe Pro has a single number for each filter type.
Anyway, I'm not looking for a set of earplugs. I just find it odd that anyone would buy these without really knowing how they perform.

More bass!
I currently have the the HD 6XX, which sound great but, I'm am looking to upgrade the power of the bass as i really enjoy punchy low end EDM music. Any suggestions in the $200-$300 price range would be awesome.

Trying to add Topping LA90D amp to Topping A9D preamp
Any help would be appreciated...I added an amp to my streamer, dac, headphone amp/preamp system and am now not getting any music through the headphone jacks on the preamp - the specifics: Wiim Pro Plus - optical connection to - Topping D50 iii dac - TSR to XLR connection to - Topping A9D headphone amp/preamp (all worked fine as a headphone amp until I tried adding:) - XLR connection to - Topping LA90 D amp. Amp switches are set to bypass, stereo, low gain. In this configuration, I am not getting any music to either my SE or XLR headphone jacks. I made sure I switched the A9D to "preamp" and "xlr" modes. I have no idea what I might be overlooking or missing...any thoughts would be deeply appreciated! Thank you.

Mic not working pc38x
I just got my pc38x in the mail today and the out put is quiet but fine and I'm happy. But the mic will not work when on my Xbox series and I was wondering if this issue can be resolved or if the head set is not compatible with Xbox.
