Pretty sure mine are -15 and -25 . I had the 15s break apart on me though
and need to get replacements. The filters are probably the most expensive
part of the whole thing.
Replacing them is $50 for the pair. Working with the 25s is fine. I
still hear pretty much everything except the really sharp high end but they
do start to cut out some of that spectrum that I'd like to hear.
That's why I think the 15db filters are perfect. They let in just enough
of the high end without the extra sharpness. The mid stays nice and clear
and bass just goes where ever bass wants to so...
Plus you can hear people talking and you don't need them to scream in your
ear but you still might need to scream in theirs.
