I'm looking for quality ear protection, and read some good remarks
about the ER 15 and ER 25 Musician's Earplugs form Etymotic Research

I used the Etymotic plugs (ER 15) for years and was pretty happy with
them. They are not flat!!!! They reduce 15 dbs of high end and leave
the low end more or less untouched.

Only if your earmolds were improperly made. The mold must be deep
enough or bass will leak around the end, giving the results you
describe. This is unfortunately pretty common - most of the people
making the molds don't make them deep enough for fear that the end
user will return them because of discomfort. Properly made, you will
experience neither excessive bass nor discomfort.
