Hey. Im a beginning dj. do i really need earplugs? i dont want to damage my ears, but i also dont want to filter out too much sound. If so will the basic orange ones do? or is it worth spending an extra couple of bucks for "dj" earplugs? Thanks
cost is indicative of effectiveness/sound reduction/attenuation
most dj gigs you are probably working in a 100db@1m or greater environment - everyday listening environment is 60db-70db so something that attenuates sound by 20db or more is imperative if you are to not suffer long term hearing damage/frequency sensitivity loss
I'm trying to cross the DJ side from teh production side, and I am super concerned about my hearing while I am venturing this DJ journey! So lemme know the best method.
