looking for earplug recommendations (discuss.tchncs.de)

Hi Lemmy!

Loop Earplugs are too expensive. Does anyone have cheaper recommendations?

Details

Details:

I have Loop Quiet to cope with situations with a lot of chatter, such as at the canteen, where it feels like everyone is shouting.
I bought a pair of Loop Engage because I dislike having to take my Quiets out to have conversations. They haven't arrived yet.
I've tried the foam earplugs from a drugstore/chemist's. They're extremely difficult to put in properly and get dirty after a few uses.

Vibes

They are for musicians but are fairly cheap, have a nice carry case which is very small, and let you hear what is happening without losing your shit. They are also easy to clean with hot soapy water and last so far multiple years of daily use. They don't make you feel like you are underwater and more reduce volume than block sound, so walking around and talking to people is viable.
