Vibes Hi-Fidelity Earplugs (as seen on ABC's Shark Tank) are designed for musicians and concertgoers. Unlike traditional foam earplugs that block and muffle sounds, Vibes filter acoustics, meaning that they lower decibels (by an average of 22 dB across frequencies) without sacrificing sound quality. In other words, Vibes lower the volume of live music to a safer, more comfortable level, while still allowing you to hear the music clearly. Vibes' clear design makes them virtually invisible, allowing you to be discreet about wearing hearing protection.
Each pair also includes a pocket-sized carrying case and three sizes (S, M, L) of interchangeable eartips to ensure a comfortable fit for any sized ear.
Vibes is partnered with Hear the World Foundation, a global hearing health charity. A portion of their profits is donated to the Foundation, which provides education, hearing healthcare and hearing aids to children around the world in need.
HOW THEY WORK
Vibes are reusable earplugs designed for sound quality. Traditional foam earplugs are only decreasing the volume of high frequency (treble) sounds, but not low frequency (bass) sounds, which is what causes the sound that you hear to be distorted when you wear them. On the other hand, Vibes lower the volume of all sounds equally, from bass to treble, which allows you to hear sound clearly, just at a quieter volume.
Unlike traditional foam earplugs that block and muffle sound, Vibes filter sound. Using specially designed sound tubes that balance sound waves, and sound-enhancing acoustic filters that reduce decibel levels, Vibes allow you to protect your hearing health and stay comfortable in loud environments that would otherwise cause discomfort and hearing damage.
WHY THE WORLD NEEDS VIBES
Our modern world is loud. Until relatively recently, the loudest sounds in the world were things like a lion's roar and claps of thunder, so we never had a need to be able to process sounds louder than that. Now, when we encounter sounds like giant speakers at concerts or race car engines, our ears become strained and our ability to hear is damaged, because they aren't designed to be able to handle sounds that loud. Vibes allow you to experience the loud world we find ourselves in safely and comfortably, without inhibiting your ability to hear or communicate.
EACH PURCHASE INCLUDES
- 1 pair of earplugs
- 3 interchangeable fit sizes (small, medium, large)
- Pocket sized hard case for easy storage
FAQ
Should I wear earplugs at concerts?
The science says, yes. The average concert is around a range of 98db - 110db and irreversible hearing damage can occur as low as 85db.
Are these only for live music?
No, although the primary use is for live music, Vibes helps increase speech intelligibility (compared to foam). In other words, you can still talk/hold conversation while wearing them. People find them useful in any loud situation where you are looking to lower decibel levels but still hear clearly. Examples:
- Bar staff
- Security staff
- Clubs
- Sporting events
- Movie theaters
- Individuals with sensory sensitivities
- Motorcycle riding
- Airplanes
- Concert photographers
*Vibes is not recommend for use while shooting guns or operating heavy machinery.
How do I use Vibes?
- Step 1: Choose your ear tip size (Small, Medium, Large)
- Step 2: Insert the earplugs (ear tip first) into your ear, just like you would insert earbud headphones.
- Step 3: Listen to one or two full songs at a live concert and slightly adjust the depth that the earplugs are inserted into the ear until the clarity is optimal. Do not insert into the inner ear canal. Enjoy live music as it's meant to be enjoyed: clear sound quality and no hearing damage!
What's the best way to clean Vibes Hi-Fidelity Earplugs?
- Step 1: Remove the white eartips from the plastic body of the earplug.
- Step 2: Massage the eartips in a mixture of warm water and rubbing alcohol.
- Step 3: Be sure the eartips are completely dry, then reattach them to plastic body of the earplug.
What protection level does Vibes offer?
Vibes provides approximately 22dB reduction across frequencies (15dB NRR).
How does Vibes enhance my concert experience?
Vibes create a more comfortable, balanced, and controlled listening experience. Vibes let you avoid the uncomfortable and damaging ear ringing sensation while still being able to hear the music clearly, putting you in control of your listening experience.
Can you tell I’m wearing them?
Vibes discreet low profile design and clear sound tubes make them virtually invisible when worn.
Are there different sized ear tips?
Because Vibes knows that one size does not fit all, each pair of Vibes comes with small, medium, and large ear tips to provide the best fit possible.

Warranty FAQ
DO I NEED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY?
Most manufacturers limit their warranty periods to keep their product costs competitive. It should come as no surprise that most problems occur after the manufacturer’s warranty is over. If you are like most consumers, you don't want to deal with the inevitable problems surrounding repairs. Who do you call for service? Are they reliable? Is a handyman capable of performing a long lasting, reliable repair on your instrument?
Ranked #1 Extended Warranty
CPS provides top notch warranty protection for your purchases to ensure life and longevity. This means that they care about you and your product long after your purchase has been made. This warranty offers reliable, hassle-free, comprehensive parts and labor protection for your product.
You Need to Prepare for These Issues Today
Bananas is an Authorized Consumer Priority Service Dealer. This means that they care about you and your products long after the purchase date. You can easily extend your manufacturer's warranty for a possible total of 5 years from the date of purchase.
CPS Warranties Offer Reliable Protection for Your Product
By purchasing a CPS accidental damage plan, you’re guaranteed years of worry free operation from your new product.
Is a CPS Warranty just an extension of the existing manufacturer’s warranty?
Actually, it’s an upgrade to your existing manufacturer’s warranty. A CPS Warranty offers benefits that aren’t offered by manufacturers like accidental damage & free shipping to and from the repair facility.
What’s the difference between a Replacement Plan and Repair Plan?
A Replacement Plan is available for products under $150. If the product fails, you will receive a replacement through Bananas.
A Repair Plan is for products over $150 and offers free repair coverage for your product any time during the life of your warranty. If we can’t fix it, we’ll replace it!
How am I covered?
For the Replacement Plan, your coverage provides for a one-time replacement of the covered product.
For the Repair Plan, you are covered for a period of up to five years (depending on which plan you purchase). Benefits include parts and labor for required repairs on your product.
When does my warranty coverage start?
Coverage begins on the 31st calendar day from when you purchased your product.
Can I transfer the Protection Plan to a new owner?
Yes! CPS Warranties are transferable between owners.
What if I Need to Return my Product?
If you return your product, Bananas returns the money you paid for the product protection plan. Depending on how much time has passed since your purchase, CPS may issue a prorated refund.
Is my product covered if it’s stolen or if I lose it?
Unfortunately the CPS Warranty does not cover lost or stolen products.
Is there a service fee?
Zero dollar service fee for the Replacement Plans and the Repair Plans.
HOW DO I FILE A CLAIM?
