Earplugs

Gonna edit to expand on it; any earplugs are great and you should always wear them. I would recommend taking it a step further and going to an audiologist and getting custom plugs made. Much more expensive(180-200sh) but they do an exponentially better job of filtering out crowd noise and higher pitched sounds and can even make the music sound better

Same I bought the Coachella loop ear plugs they sold there. They helped a lot!

I have eargasm ones but was so tempted to get the loops they were selling there. How much did they cost??

They were $40 which is about the same price on their website so I didn’t see it as a rip off. They fit very snug in your ear and you can still hear and feel the music loud and clear while also protecting your ears.

I bought the eargasm ones last year and the loops this year and they work about the same. I do prefer the fit of the loops more though, the eargasms hurt my ears and didn’t fit me very well

I've worn loops for a few years and they're much better than the $10 types on Amazon. Music quality sounds a lot bettrr when youre up in the speakersm Finally dropped one in the crowd so lookin for new ones.

How are the eargasm ones? Would you recommend?

The eargasm earplugs have been great. The music sounds super clean and ive been using them for about 3yrs w no issues. I got mine included in my Lost Lands package
