Do earplugs really still allow you to hear the music just as good as you would without them? Like, I know there are some advanced, crazy earplugs out there but I never actually tried them. Do you still have the same listening experience or does it get muffled at all?
To me, with the etymotics, the sound is improved. Not as much vibration in the ears.
Thanks, fuzzy. I have only had ringing a few times at super loud shows (and never for days), but I have noticed similar earplugs a few times and wanted to look into them more.

The ones that fuzz linked above are made to just lower the volume. Not muffled in my experience, but you will hear your own head noises more loudly. Kind of weird, but worth keeping your ears safe if you're getting blasted with sound

When I walk into a club with live music I'm in pain usually until I put my earplugs in I've become so used to them. It makes the whole show more enjoyable for me.

Buy some earplugs for sleeping, too. That's the kind I originally meant. You don't want to hear your neighbor's music thumping away clearly when you want to rest

Does anyone around here have some space on their campsite I could set up a small tent? I didn't get my camping pass when purchasing the ticket before the new year.
So the earplug talk brought me in here. I've been wanting to get a professionally molded pair for my own ears for ages. And I found these: www.earplugstore.com/westone-style-49.html and they come in glitter. So there. But Of course the cost is insane... though knowing that I'll be going to shows for years, and they'll get their wear is what makes it worth it to me.
Also had a coworker talking about how they're getting professionally molded earplugs for his kid, at his kid's ear doc. So then I was thinking, maybe I can just go to an ear doc and get some of these doozies made up.

Let us know what you find out, I would be interested to see if I can get them from a doctor as well! Surely us music lovers have a need for this level of ear protection.

But at the same time, I'm dreading it SO bad!
I'm actually a fan of this. One of my least favorite things about Bonnaroo is when the release the schedule over a month ahead of time, then people do nothing but b*tch about conflicts and who should have gotten what spot and other endlessly boring and inane things. This way, I basically get the schedule, then get on a plane.

I agree. And I like the idea of having to make the decision of which act to see in the final moments. I mean, even after a month of agonizing over Roo's schedule, I still don't make most of my decisions until crunch time anyway.
