The tapered shape offers the most comfortable fit for the ear canal. Comes in a convenient plastic jar of 25. Great for throwing in a shooting bag or shell vest. Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) of 32db.
No plug will fit everyone's ear, but these plugs seem to fit mine just right. You can wear them for a long time yet hardly notice they're in there, except that you can't hear much, of course. The noise reduction they provide is excellent.
I use these plugs ALL of the TIME. I can use these for extended time periods. They are easy to insert in the ear, and they're comfortable. I enjoy wearing these during shoots. But I also, wear these at times on the job to block noise. I must say, these plugs have exceeded my expectations.
These are okay for the price, but does anyone know what the previous product was they used to sell in a bottle of 25 pair just like these? They were much better in my opinion. These are a little thinner and a bit longer and just don't fit well for me.
I wear these in combination with an external hearing protector. The combination works well. I notice that these do not "squish" quite as much as other brands, which makes insertion a little more difficult. However, they have worked well for me and are economical. They are a little longer and larger than some other brands.
