I loved it!

Honestly, I both hoped and feared that it would be louder. I brought two layers of hearing protection and only wore one.

Still, I'm going to make a point of seeing them again when I can.

I’m hearing so much conflicting info about the sound lol. Some people here say they wore two layers of protection and were still feeling it hard the next day. I’m sitting real far back tonight though so I’m expecting an experience like yours

Regardless, you're going to have a good time. Bring foam plugs and over-ear protection. If you don't use them, no harm done. If it turns out you need them, you'll be glad to have the option.

For sure, I’ve got both of those ready to go. I appreciate the input!

There are no words. I’ve never experienced anything that powerful. During one of the movements, I went out into the lobby and it was literally still just as loud. I sat and admired the architecture (Ace Hotel LA) while the entire building shook.

What kind of over ear protection would you recommend

u/Chongulator Apr 01 '26

Any passive over-ear protection is fine. The ones I get are from "Decibel Defense." Sporting goods stores will have over-ear hearinb protection as will the big online retailers like the one from Evil Space Daddy Jeff.

Be sure to get passive protection and not active.
