I just got a set of the custom moulded musicians ear plugs from ACS and I found the opposite. All the other off the shelf ear plugs I've tried it's so obvious I'm wearing ear plug. All the treble gets lost and the sound is muffled and "fuzzy" but with these custom ones with the sound filters, it sounded exactly the same as not wearing them, just 20dB quieter.

This. Also got fancy moulded ones made for me at work (I used to fly in a helicopter a couple of years ago), with different replaceable filters etc but rarely used them as I found regular foam ones just as good and no worries if you lose them. Same at gigs, tried the fancy ones to see if the music sounded better but not really. Possibly because I mainly listen to noisy stuff like punk/metal and usually drink before and during gigs.
