ACS Pacato, ACS

Review

Music

The ACS Pacato is a choice for listening to music of medium loudness. In addition, the earplugs are almost invisible when worn. That makes them a good choice for bars, pubs, not very loud concerts, and similar venues. The Pacato is a rather weak earplug and does not provide sufficient protection for really loud concerts (only 11.4dB at 125Hz up to only 24.4dB at 8000Hz). For loud concerts, stronger earplugs should be used such as the Bilsom 303S foam earplugs. If sound quality is important, then by far the best choice are the custom molded ER15 or ER25 earplugs, but they are much more expensive. Also have a look at our article on listening to music.

Sleeping

The ACS Pacato is not a good choice for sleeping. Foam earplugs are more comfortable and are stronger.

Shooting

The ACS Pacato only provides weak to medium sound reduction. This is insufficient for protecting the ears when shooting.

Swimming

They are not usable for swimming.

Travel

Foam earplugs are cheaper than the ACS Pacato and provide more sound reduction.

Invisibility

The ACS Pacato are almost invisible when worn. They do not have a stem that sticks out of the ear, like for example, the Alpine Partyplugs.

Size

The Pacato is available in one size.

Color

They are available in white.
