With these earplugs you can still hear the music perfectly, conversations remain intelligible and most important of all, you prevent hearing damage and the annoying ringing after the event. In addition Alpine PartyPlug earplugs are super comfortable and reusable, so you can protect your ears not only at Loveland Festival but on other festivals as well. Love your ears!
