'Stylish' earplugs that work 'perfectly' at concerts are a must-have for TRNSMT
With many people planning to attend festivals and concerts over the coming months, it is important to make sure you are protecting your hearing. While at the time the noise level from the speakers and those around you may seem okay, the irritating ringing noise you are left with later on can be a cause for concern.
One way to solve this problem that won't put a dampener on your night is to buy a set of ear plugs. Specifically designed with concerts and festivals in mind, these earplugs will still allow users to hear the music at TRNSMT and chat with their pals while simultaneously reducing the noise level.
One popular pair of concert ear plugs on Amazon are the Alpine Tune Earplugs. Normally retailing for £33.25, shoppers can now buy them for £29.95 in a variety of colours.
Available in black, dark blue, neon pink, rose gold, silver and yellow, these Alpine Ear Plugs promise to provide crystal-clear audio at safe volumes (19dB SNR). Using hi-fidelity filters, these ear plugs will let wearers enjoy their favourite music in full, rich sound without risking or compromising their hearing.
Delivered with soft oval ear tips in four sizes, these ergonomic ear plugs are comfortable enough to be worn all day. Providing a pressure-free and secure fit, the ear plugs also come with a handy pocket-sized case that can be clipped to a key chain for easy access.
For those worried they won't be able to hear their pals while enjoying the concert or festival, these ear plugs come with advanced filters that will result in less shouting and clearer speech. Essentially, wearers will be able to talk naturally without having to take the ear plugs out.

Product Description
Another set of popular ear plugs on Amazon are the SENNER MusicPro Ear Plugs. Retailing for £19.99, these ear plugs are designed with triple slats that will adapt to the shape of your ear for comfortable and secure fit. Additionally, the plugs are made with a transparent material which allows inconspicuous use.
Alternatively, shoppers can buy the Experience 2 Ear Plugs from the Loop website. Priced at £29.95 and available in four colours, these earplugs are able to filter noise by 17dB so the music stays clear but at a safer volume.
Back to the Alpine Earplugs, Amazon shoppers have awarded them a 4.6 star rating. Many shoppers have praised the plugs for their stylish look and comfortable fit, as well as how well they reduced noise at concerts.
One happy shopper said: "A great design, really comfortable and they fit perfectly. For the price point, the level of noise reduction and how easy they are to switch to the right size is great."
With another adding: "These earplugs are stylish and are really useful for softening loud music/sounds. I appreciate the fact that they provide you with four different earplug sizes so you can find the one that fits you best and provides the best quality. I think they look really sleek too, and the V shape ensures they stay snug in your ears."
However, the shopper did also grumble:"The only and main critique I have is the feel of the case. In all honesty it feels really cheap, and while I am sure they did this to cut costs it just feels tacky. However, the earplugs themselves feel great."
Another shopper also gave a mixed review: "Comfort OK. Design a bit of a fiddle having specific left and right handed earplugs. Personally prefer Loop Experience for their design and ease of use."
Despite this, a five-star reviewer wrote: "I recently bought and used these earplugs at a concert. The sound quality was good, I could hear the music clearly at a comfortable level without any distortion. I could hear friends without them needing to scream over the music or directly into my ear.
"The size initially attached was too small, but one of the other options included fit perfect and was comfortable to wear all night."
With a fifth shopper commenting: "These earplugs work perfectly for concerts and parties. They reduce the volume just enough to protect my hearing without affecting the music. The sound stays clear and enjoyable. They also comfortable to wear for around 1-2 hours."

'Intense' luxury perfume that you 'feel very sexy wearing' now 56% less on Amazon
Shoppers say "you will fall in love at the first spray." There's nothing quite like picking up a new bottle of perfume. With so many scents to choose from these days, it can feel like there is far too much choice. While a few out there might be waiting for Prime Day to pick up some sweet deals, there is still a variety of discounts across luxury branded bottles that are worth taking advantage of ahead of next week. One of them is this incredible 56 per cent discount on the Jimmy Choo Fever Eau de Parfum. Hailed for its "divine" aroma that "lasts all day", it's great value for those who prioritise longevity with their perfume choices. The discount applies to two sizes of the perfume, as shoppers can bag a 40ml for £22.50, down from £51. Those opting for a larger bottle can bag a 100ml for just £29.75, down from £68. Launched as an oriental vanilla fragrance in 2018, Fever has already managed to garner quite the reputation for its "contrasting" and "playful" scent that makes it perfect for the woman looking for a fun evening. Jimmy Choo Fever Eau de Parfum, 50ml £51 £22.50 Amazon Buy here Product Description The "seductive" fragrance opens on rich, vivid and juicy notes of sweet plum that has been blended with the freshness of rosy accents of lychee and subtle bitter tones of grapefruit. At the heart is powdered roundness of heliotrope and exotic vanilla orchid that has been contrasted with ultra-feminine jasmine. For a warm base, there is creamy sandalwood, benzoin and roasted almond facets of vanilla tonka bean. Mirroring its main scent, the bottle has been adorned in an intense plum-coloured lacquer, with the light said to dance off its multi-faceted design. Another luxury perfume that offers similar notes of plum and lychee is Dolce & Gabbana's The One Eau de Parfum, with a 50ml bottle on offer at Boots for £60.00, down from £91, saving over £30 off the RRP. Perfume fans who do like the oriental scent, but would prefer different main notes, then we'd recommend Ariana Grande's Cloud Eau de Parfum that offers similar creamy notes, with a 100ml retailing at £55 at The Perfume Shop. As for the Jimmy Choo Fever EDP, there's no denying why Amazon's discount might be worth taking advantage of, as it has earned a 4.7 rating from shoppers who say it is "a touch of luxury" and that "every lady should own at least one bottle." One five-star review read: "What is there to say? I absolutely love this perfume, it smells divine and always lasts all day. Had to treat myself as its Christmas." A second perfume fan wrote: "This is creamy smooth and smells amazing. It lasts all day and makes you feel very sexy when wearing it. "The design of the bottle is good and the packaging is warm and eye-catching. Definitely one of Jimmy Choo's top smells to try and buy which I guarantee you will fall in love with on the first spray." Beauty deal of the week Looking to get that salon blowdry from home? Then look no further than Amazon's limited deal on the Remington Ionic Dry Hair Dryer. Worth £56.99, the online delivery giant is offering this styling tool for just £19.99, reducing it by a staggering 65 percent and £37 overall. Offering a stylish, sleek black design, it uses a power 2200W motor that delivers fast, efficient styling, with three heat and two speed settings having shoppers saying that it provides "super versatile" styling options. Another key feature beauty buffs will love is the ionic conditioning that provides multiple benefits such as a faster drying time, all while leaving hair smoother, shinier and less damaged. It also comes complete with a concentrator attachment that can help achieve that smooth, sleek effect, while the diffuser will be suitable for anyone looking to enhance their curls. With praise for its "fast drying" ability that also leaves hair "frizz free", it's understandable why it averages a 4.6 rating, as one shopper said: "Absolutely love this Remington hair dryer! The 2200W power ensures fast drying, and the ionic conditioning leaves my hair smooth and frizz-free. "The multiple heat and speed settings make it super versatile, and the cool shot locks in my style. The included diffuser and concentrator are perfect for different styling needs. Highly recommend for professional-quality results at home!" Shop Amazon's limited 65 per cent off deal on the Remington Ionic Dry Hair Dryer now.

This is a very opulent smelling perfume ideal for those evenings out wear with pride knowing that smell will linger wherever you go."

Plenty of festivals are card-only these days - but is TRNSMT? TRNSMT is kicking off next weekend, July 11 to July 13, with 150,000 festival-goers set to embark on a three-day stint of music, booze and general revelry. Headliners for this year's event include 50 Cent, Biffy Clyro and Snow Patrol. Artists like The Script, Gracie Abrams, and Fontaines D.C. will also be making an appearance at Glasgow Green over the weekend. But such a large event with so many attendees can easily turn hectic, so it's crucial to know what to expect ahead of the festival. One vital thing to be aware of is how you can pay for food and drink on the festival grounds, as many venues and events these days have opted to go completely cashless (especially after Covid). Here's everything you need to know. Can you spend cash at TRNSMT?

Which items are allowed or forbidden in the TRNSMT site? Small bags, sun cream, and collapsible water bottles are allowed on the festival site. Power banks, hand sanitiser and lip balm are also permitted. However, chairs, large bottles, bags bigger than an A4 sheet of paper and external food and drink are not allowed to be brought into TRNSMT. What is the age limit to attend TRNSMT?

Tech review: Gaming specialist unleashes OXS Storm wireless headphones
The gaming headphones industry is a fairly cluttered one, and also a very competitive one. Littered with big names and big players like Turtle Beach and Logitech - it's an established market and it's big business as gaming continues to accelerate. Online gaming particularly continues to be a huge leisure activity, and any gamer worth their salt knows the importance of a good pair of headphones. With that in mind, I tried out the Storm A2 headphones, the latest product from gaming audio experts, OXS. I have an OXS soundbar so I am well aware of their dedication to targeting gamers with high-end products. The headphones look premium and have a decent build quality with metal around the cups and the headband. The ear cups themselves have memory foam lining, and the headband also has this on the underside, for comfort. The quality is decent and for what is essentially a middle of the road kind of price for a decent pair of gaming headphones, there certainly can't be too many complaints in terms of the build. As with many headphones these days this pair fold away for storage and for travelling and can be reasonably compact in a carry case if needed. They are pretty comfortable to wear, although I did test these out on the hottest couple of days of the year and it was a bit clammy because the ear pads to stick a bit. I expect on a cooler day i'd be a lot happier! From a sound perspective, I thought these were up to the task in hand, switching modes gives you an extra bass boost and the Active Noise Cancellation, I have to say I found to be pretty effective. The bass boost adds a bit of oomph to the sound and I'd suggest that using it is the best option, unless treble really is your thing. I felt that with the bass kicked in, the headphones really enveloped your senses and got me hooked into what I was playing. There's a lot of great bullet points to deliver, like a 70 hour battery life, super low latency to avoid lagging, and all the wireless connection options you could need. It connects to all devices and consoles, other than Xbox. You can even connect to a mobile phone, should you so wish. The rich, deep sounds of the headphones through the surround sound are perfect for gamers, allowing you to hear every noise and direction the game throws at you. I had no issues with the mic, other than that it's very much pointed straight down like an arrow, so you need to train it to stay in place, which works after a while. I liked the sound, and for what I need I was really impressed. It isn't the best sound I have heard, I have better general headphones. But for the price, I think they offer a decent degree of quality and satisfaction.. OXS Storm A2 Wireless Gaming Headset is available for £129.99 from Amazon. Customer reviews Amazon user: Ear cups are comfortable but after about an hour long online meeting, my left lobe felt sore. The cups are not big enough for my whole ear so they pretty much sit on top of my ears, which, for me, can be uncomfortable after a couple of hours. Amazon user: It's about turning on surround mode. Just because it's turned on doesn't mean the sound field expands impressively, but it is said that when you turn it on, the sound comes forward, and anyway, it's such a good sound that I recommend turning it on all the time. The treble isn't bad either, but the volume is to such an extent that the midrange is particularly beautiful and not too loud.
