Hi guys, I have Alpine PartyPlugs that I really like. These are filtered earplugs that are transparent so they are a little more discrete. In the manual: There is this bit that suggests that you can remove the filter, shorten the earplug (so it's a little less visible) and put the filter back in. Question: Will shortening the earplug impact its noise-reduction capabilities?
I am not sure but have used them many times at gigs and have always been bemused when reading the instructions as to why you would want to cut them down. I would think that it will make them less effective yes, just leave rhem as they are.
