Vibes Hi-Fidelity Earplugs, as seen on ABC’s Shark Tank, are earplugs designed for live music
|
Vibes Hi-Fidelity Earplugs, as seen on ABC’s Shark Tank, are earplugs designed for live music. Unlike traditional foam earplugs (which block and muffle sounds), Vibes filter acoustics, lowering decibel levels without sacrificing sound quality. In short, Vibes allow you to protect your hearing health at concerts while still hearing the music just as clearly as it comes out of the speakers. Vibes are clear and virtually invisible, allowing you to be discreet about wearing earplugs at concerts.
Each pair of Vibes includes:
· Three sizes of interchangeable eartips to ensure a comfortable fit for any sized ear
· Carrying case
· Donation to Hear the World Foundation – a global hearing health charity that provides hearing aids, healthcare, and education to children in need
Click here to pick up a pair of Vibes! In with the good, out with the bad.

A recent court ruling has now made it legal to ban dreadlocks during the hiring process in Alabama, Florida, and Georgia.
This all started when Chastity Jones was offered a job with Catastrophe Management Solutions in Mobile, Alabama. However, her offer was later rescinded when a Human Resources Manager told Chasity that they would not hire her due to her dreadlocks, stating that dreadlocks “tend to get messy, although I’m not saying yours are, but you know what I’m talking about.”

It will make us very sad if you do, and perhaps your removal will be the one the makes us decide this no longer worth doing at all, and all the information we provide will go away forever and musicians will sit home alone at night and cry because they have no one to play for because no one knows about their shows.
