Music Pro Elite

Music Pro Elite^® Rechargeable Active Musicians Earplugs with Active Hearing Protection is the latest in advanced hearing protection technology.

Designed for Musicians who want to hear naturally but need protection when hearing is at risk.

Using active technology that constantly evaluates incoming sound the Music Pro Elite® gives you two modes of operation.

The Low mode gives you transparent pass-through audio under 90db, with compression beginning at 60db. When the 90db threshold is passed it gives you 15db of attenuation for material above that level with a super-fast attack and release with the effect of only attenuating that sound.

High Mode provides 9 dB of attenuation for loud sounds and 6 dB of gain (amplification) for soft sounds.

Ideal for:

· Directors and music educators.

· Performers.

· Front-of-house crews.

· Entertainment industry support staff.

· Security personnel.

· Audiences.

Rationale for electronic Musicians Earplugs™

Music is dynamic. It changes in loudness. During riffs or whole sections of a piece or concert, sound varies. There are short intense periods and sometimes loud sound is sustained for minutes. In between there are softer passages.

Music•PRO High-fidelity Electronic Musicians Earplugs were designed for musicians who want to hear soft sounds naturally, but need protection from both loud, sustained passages and sudden loud percussive sounds. Music•PRO earplugs provide hearing protection that activates only when you need it.

High-fidelity passive earplugs provide protection, but do not adapt to changes in loudness. Music•PRO high-fidelity electronic earplugs, designed for music industry professionals, automatically adjust to change. The result is hearing protection when needed and natural hearing the rest of the time.

Establishing the Gold Standard

Musicians Earplugs™ are the world's best-selling custom high-fidelity earplugs. Over twenty-five years ago, Etymotic's founder, Dr. Mead Killion, participated in a noise study for the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, which was the impetus for bringing customhigh-fidelity earplugs to market. World-class artists and performers of all music genres use Musicians Earplugs, which come in three levels of protection: 9 dB, 15 dB and 25 dB sound reduction.

Electronic Hearing Protection for Warfighters

In 2009, Etymotic Research developed EB15 BlastPLG® earplugs for deployed military personnel. A high percentage of Warfighters return from theater with hearing loss and tinnitus from not using ear protection because it interferes with situational awareness. In 2011, Etymotic's BlastPLG® Electronic Earplugs received the inaugural Design and Engineering Innovations Award in the Health and Wellness category from the Consumer Electronics Association.

The BlastPLG devices had obvious applications for gun sports, industrial and construction markets. With a presumed application for music, EB15 earplugs were sold to musicians and DJs who played many different genres of music. The reviews were mixed.

What the users are saying of their experiences with Music Pro Elite

Max Murray – October 4, 2025 ★★★★☆

Great protection, but low fidelity

Full time professional musician here, been suffering from a raging case of tinnitus for years. I had stepped away from playing full time because of it. Found these devices a few months back, and I believe they are the best option I’ve tried yet, or that currently exist one the market. I love the pass thru at low volumes to hear MDs/Conductors in rehearsal, and the ability to squash sudden loud sounds. The main – and only complaint is the absence of bass response. I’m a bassist, and I find it pretty frustrating that I can’t hear myself accurately. If this processing were available with the fidelity of, say, Ultimate Ears UE-11 Pro monitors, THEN they would get 5 stars! Can you make that happen?

Richard – July 15, 2025 ★★★★☆

These are very good and I wear them all the time in rehearsals and for many gigs.

However, they are not quite faithful for me. Compared to the open ear, bass sounds are attenuated a little too much, and very high frequencies are slightly amplified. I’m not sure whether this a limitation of the hardware, or if my ear canals are slightly differently shaped from “normal”.

Whatever the cause, if there was some sort of EQ adjustment to compensate for this, they would be perfect.

Gave band back to my daughter

My daughter suffers from a pain condition called geniculate neuralgia. She has constant ear pain that is made worse by triggers like loud sounds. She plays in her high school band and we thought she was going to have to give it up but this product has been the one thing that allows her to hear what she needs to and dampens the extreme levels so she doesn’t get triggered. We are so excited to find a product that does this! I hope my review possibly sends others that deal with facial pain conditions to this site for help with sound triggers. She finds these easy to use, comfortable, and discrete.

Great Hearing Protection

I am a lifelong musician and Instrumental Music Teacher. I am constantly exposed to volume levels that are potentially unsafe. While there are no perfect solutions for hearing protection, these Music Pro Elites are the best I have used. I use IEM’s on stage (Etymotic) and have used different passive hearing protectors with different filters. These are by far my favorite. I use them with the 6db boost in rehearsals so that I can hear conversation without having to take them out. In a live music setting, I use the low mode and they work great. I highly recommend these Music Pro Elites.

Great sound and dampening of very loud sounds

I play in an orchestra and am in front of the trombones in one orchestra and in front of the percussion in another orchestra. These hearing protectors reproduce sound very well, so you can hear yourself play and hear others normally, while dampening the really loud sounds that might damage your hearing. The only difference from normal for me is that the sound of crinkling papers and turning pages is louder than normal, but you quickly get used to that. I would recommend these to any musician who needs to protect their hearing, while being able to hear sounds of normal volume. I used the protectors for 3 hours and they were at 70% charge after the session and they were quickly recharged by the case. The case still showed 100% charge remaining after charging the hearing protectors from 70%-100%.

Worth it!

These “ear plugs” (a crude term for these devices) are really great. The most comfortable silicon design yet, lightweight, unobtrusive. The sound quality is not quite perfect, but light years ahead of the passive ER20s I’ve used up to this point. I flew to Hollywood to see Dead & Co, and realized that spending this much to ensure really great sound was a no-brainer given how much I’d spent for the shows. It’s so great to have unattenuated sound when the volume level is safe, so no taking them in and out to talk between songs. Totally happy with these. Even the leash is comfortable; I could just see one of these popping out during a show, never to be found again. I’ve added a small clip to attach to my shirt collar for extra security!

Awesome

The adaptive noise reduction earplugs have made it possible for me to play music again. I have tinnitus and loud sounds set it off. These work exactly as described and make it possible for me to attend concerts and play!
