D’Addario has announced a new joint-venture with EarLab’s dBud Earplugs, maker of premium hearing protection for musicians and music fans. Through the partnership, D’Addario will release a new and improved design of the product, providing comprehensive hearing protection without compromising sonic quality. As live music returns, performers, concert attendees and venue employees can enjoy high-fidelity sound without worrying about any damage to their hearing. The dBuds’ acoustic filtering system and a patented volume slider lets users reduce the volume by either 11dB or 24dB. Each set of earplugs comes with two dBud ear filters and five pairs of reusable silicone inserts. Each earplug includes a magnet, letting the pair link together, along with a lanyard, so users can wear them around their neck when not in use.
