More people than ever are using earplugs, not only to help protect their hearing and sleep better when traveling but also to get better clarity when listening to live music. That's why we're recommending these Vibes high-fidelity earplugs for just $19. A 20% discount has been applied at Amazon in time for Black Friday, with an additional 5% available to claim by ticking the on-page coupon box. 

Available in a clear design -- blue, green and orange can be purchased for $25 -- the Vibes earplugs utilize attenuating filters to lower the volume via "filter-specific frequencies"  as opposed to canceling noise directly. The transparent shell design makes them nearly invisible to any onlookers and a handy hard portable case is included to keep them safe when on the move.

CNET senior editor James Bricknall shared their thoughts after having hands-on with the earplugs: "I've been using these for a few weeks now, and they are fantastic at blocking out extraneous noise. I watched a concert this Halloween, and the Vibes brought the volume down to an enjoyable level without making the music dull."

While that $10 discount might not seem huge at first glance, this is the cheapest price we have on record for the Vibes earplugs. Already hugely popular, more than 75% of the stock has been claimed – so don't delay if you are interested. Like all Black Friday sales, when they're gone, they're gone. This is a cheap way to protect your ears alongside enhancing music that you can use time and time again, all for under $20.
