What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
They are discreet and barley noticeable when out in public. I like that this is discreet, rather than my daughter having to wear bulky headphones to diffuse noisy environments.
Very clever, thanks. Arrived quickly. These are fantastic. Best value on amazon than anywhere else.
Vibes earplugs are a life changer for me. If you are used to the earbud style headphones this will work well for you. Hi-fidelity is different to the frequency response curves of headphones.
Looking after my (very noisy) grandkids is now a breeze. My teenage son has non verbal autism and is very sensitive to noise.
Cons
The packaging is all extremely cheap and flimsy. Differentiating sounds is difficult as they tend to all muffle into a drone. Does not distinguish background noise from voice/close up noise.
Highlights
Quality
I heard the concert perfectly the quality outstanding but no hearing loss like the previous show
For me yes because i find music is more enjoyable less distorted and my ears feel more comfortable with the lowered volume
Vibes earplugs do not get anywhere near the fidelity of good headphones and music does sound noticeably different with the earplugs
Talking with the earplugs on is okay but eventually it would slip off
Price
Value for money its okay i think the price could be reduced
Packaging/appearance
Its a little too easy to misplace in the pocket
Competitiveness
I use them for a cycling rpm class
Vibes earplugs and competitors like earlabs dbuds all report a 10db difference between low and middle frequencies

However the advertised term “high fidelity” is a bit misleading especially if you’re familiar with audiophile equipment

To understand why this is the case you need to understand that the term “hifidelity” means a different thing in earplugs compared to headphones

Looking at the vibes website under the “how they work” section they only show the frequency response up to 8000 hz frequency
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Most music reaches up to 20000 hz frequency
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
So we don’t know how vibes earplugs perform between 8000 hz and 20000 hz which means that it’s hard to tell if vibes will sound good with a broad range of music
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Comparatively the frequency response curves of headphones are reported across a much wider range
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The standard nrr noise reduction testing only reports noise reduction across frequencies from 125 hz to 8000 hz so earplug manufacturers have no incentive to go beyond that
