Because I have not seen a thread on this on this forum about volume limited earphones, I thought I should make one to get the word out such a thing exists.
I just bought these volume limited Etymotic EK5 earplugs:

- The earplugs are capped at safe sound levels!
- Come with multiple sized eartips so you can always find one that fits.
- There cheap at 45 Euro's (you could get the expensive ones marketed for adults but its way more expensive).
- The plugs look neutral.
- They have high quality audio

Here is a graph showing how there capped at safe decibel levels:

I just tested them and there amazing, since I got T because of a 3 second blast from earplugs this product has a lot of significance to me. The plugs are marketed to kids and anyone overly sensitive to loud sounds, once I unpacked these they look like any other earplug but without the possibility to go to 115db. Who the hell invented the idea that earplugs should be able to hit such levels I wonder?? Its like there selling cars without seatbelts and then blaming the driver when they get hurt. I will be having volume limited earplugs for life.
If anyone finds any other volume limited earplugs feel free to post them here!
