Not recommending, just providing the NRR specs Massdrop puzzlingly left out:
MusicSafe Pro Earplugs [from the Alpine website]:
White filter NRR=8
Silver filter NRR=11
Gold filter NRR=16

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.

New addition to the stable.
I made the decision to take advantage of the $600. price on the HiFiMan Arya Stealth, here pictured with the Meze 109 Pro. I think 2025 is going to be a really uneventful year so far as new purchases. I've also upgraded my Fiio BTR7 to the newly released BTR17 and I purchased the Earmen stack which consists of Amplifier, Linear PS, DAC & Streamer.

Drop x Campfire Audio Darkstar Review
The Darkstar definitely has a a unique sound that has an audiophile sub-bass bias. It is a balanced sound with open sounding mids and well extended treble. There is no mid-bass bloat thanks to...

BMR2 discounts for BMR1 owners
How about providing a BMR2 discount for BMR1 owners? Most of the "improvements" in the next gen should really have been there in the first which was a pretty big disappointment for most of us. UPDATE: 40% discount offered. That's great, I'm in. Thank you DROP.

DROP BMR1 Broken?
Can anyone help me with this? Went away for dinner and came back home to my speakers making this static sound(Video Link). Its like this both in Line In and Bluetooth mode. These speakers were super super hot but I was told that it was normal for it to be this way. Sucks that literally I am just about two months out of the 1 year warranty :/ If anyone can help me that'd be great.
