That much? I picked up a lovely pair of Westone custom molded "musicians earlugs" with a -15db filter for 100$ US including the fitting. They are just wonderful, I wear em when I play and I swear they make it easier to mix on a big system (less overpowering/less painful, especially when there is no monitor volume control). The best part is that my ears don't ring after playing shows or attending em and I get a kick out of showing em off and trying to get people on board with the ear protection thing.
I may still go deaf someday but at least I'm slowing down the process.
yeh already got pair of 15 db drop and even got 9db drop ones...but still carnt hear clear thro them... they where like £180
the £500 ones are inear monitors with upgraded bass for dj use.
