Big thanks from my side too for raising awareness. Probably too late for parts of my hearing but better late than never. I have some concert ear plugs, which I never wear, because they make the sound muddy. Can you recommend specific ones?
Thanks elllo, it's my pleasure. I would recommend to just go to your local hearing care professional/audiologist. I bought my first custom earplugs at 'beterhoren' store in the Netherlands and my second at pluggerz.com. But I'm not aware of similar parties in Germany but Google can help:)
Thanks! Will definitely check that out. And what are these 2€ plugs from the vending machine in the Clubs good for?

That kind of filter earplugs from the vendor machine muffle around 20 dB, but depends on the brand and the vendor of course:)

PS: If you don't want to spend a lot of money on custom earplugs, simply purchase the Alpine Partyplugs 19dB filter earplugs. They are perfect.

Vercetti hat geschrieben: ↑Fr 8. Jul 2022, 15:05 No offense and with all due respect: What youre pointing out here is very high end and nitpicky criticism that frankly doesnt even matter to more than 90% of the festival guests. You are talking about getting the last 10% out of the sound quality, a difference not noticeable to most people, one that also takes some effort and quite some money to achieve. Im sorry to say this, but I seriously doubt that the festival can cater to the wishes of the very few audiophiles who care enough about differences that arent that big or meaningful to most of the guests.
I mean, come on, youre talking about getting rid of Lamba Labs speakers and getting Funktion Ones. Thats like saying "a high end luxury car for 150.000€ just doesnt do anymore, we need one for 200.000€."
The Kulturkosmos is already pretty tight on money and youre talking about luxuries here. Complaining about sound on such a high level seems a little spoiled in this context.

I am an audiophile myself, and I had no serious complaints about the sound this year. Except for too much treble at some points.
Maybe Im not as experienced as you are and my ears dont hear as well as yours do. But you have to keep in mind: Your ears are yours and you cant expect everyone to care for sound as much as you do, since we dont hear like you do and dont have the same standards.

And the ear plugs: Eclipse, just a few steps away from Turmbühne provides ear plugs for free. The festival cannot force people to wear them and its their choice. And Ive seen enough people who dont like wearing them for one reason or another. A shame, but their decision in the end.

Dear Vercetti, thank you very much for your response; I appreciate and understand your criticism on my message. I'm well aware that I represent only a small percentage of festival attendees, but I just wanted to share my thoughts on it and start a conversation with the Fusion Festival organization, which I think consists of some audiophiles too:) It may appear spoiled in this context, but that is not how I want people to perceive me and it's not my intention to criticize all the effort and love which has been put in this new audio set-up. As I stated in my letter, I am aware of the other arguments for changing the sound systems and I am most grateful that we were able to enjoy such a fantastic Fusion this year. Meanwhile I believe that positive constructive feedback contributes to the Festival's evolution, which is why I shared my thoughts. And I'm also just curious about a response of Kulturkosmos on this matter because I never read anything about it in their newsletter.

And regarding the earplugs at Eclipse: those are 'normal' earplugs. I'm talking about earplugs with a dB filter in it. Those are two different kind of earplugs: the one you are taking about is for sleeping and one I'm taling about is for ear protection while dancing. As far as I know, nowhere on Fusion festival you can purchase the filter earplugs. Here in Amsterdam you can buy them everywhere, also in clubs in vendor machines for 2 euro's. You simply and safely enjoy the music better with those dB filter earplugs.
