Patrick could you direct me to their homesite.

it's in Danish.
Apparently Rexton is a Siemens owned company. Maybe you can find it on the English part of the Siemens page.

hmmm, bit lost actually.. English site only links to the danish site when searching for rexton.

Anyone know of any shops around Berlin where i can find these brands like rexton, UE, etc and get the custom made?

Only found this one but it looks a bit shaggy...

read somewhere they make custom earplugs for €87 a piece. Not a bad price IMO.

From what I heard, you can get Rexton's in Berlin for around 130 euro or something like that...
Don't know where, where does that link seems shaggy to you?

Dunno, the design probably and no real brands.
I will check them out anyway.

Thanks for the info. I'll be asking around.

Im looking at buying a set of custom made earplugs which i will mainly use for clubbing. From what I understand I have a choice between -15db or -30db reduction, although I'm still undecided.

A friend of mine told me that the -30db filter shaves off a lot of high frequencies, which degrades the audible clarity of your surrounding environment. He suggested that for clubbing i could just use $2 earplugs instead of the -30db and save a lot of money. Is this true?

At the same time if I go for the -15db filter, I'm concerned that my ears may be left vulnerable, especially at places where the levels are pushed really hard through shitty systems.

-15db or -30db? What do you guys think?

-25db/-30db = rock bands in the small practice room

-15db perfect for clubbing
