If you’re looking for reusable hearing protection specially designed for listening to music at concerts and festivals, our partner BLOX has just what you need. Its BLOX Music model features an acoustic filter specially designed to let you enjoy authentic sound while protecting your hearing. It will be available for sale at festival merchandising. For the more discerning among you, take advantage of a 15% discount on the BLOX e-shop thanks to the promotional code “ENJOYWLG24”. Valid on the entire range from April 24 to May 24, 2024.
