So I bought these to use on my jet ski so the wind noise didn't destroy my ears thinking I could just pop the filter plug open and closed easy when needed.
First off their super comfortable. For some reason I thought the "lock" or whatever it's called would be a hard rubber, but it's super soft and does a great job holding them in my ears. Even when I'm soaked from sweat and lake water. Easily the most comfortable plugs I've used, and they stayed locked in place the entire time I had them in.
Unfortunately you need to take the whole plug out of your ear to easily open or close the filter. If you try to close the filter with them in your ear you're going to push the whole plug too deep and potentially hurt yourself, and while trying to open it with the plug in my ear I somehow managed to break the harness that holds them together. I also couldn't just leave the filter open while moving because they whistled like crazy. Only other minor complaint is that they're a little awkward to get in. The actual plug curves up compared to the locks, which probably helps with the comfort, but took me a bit to figure out and actually get into my ear canal.
Overall I'm really happy with them, they worked okay on the jet ski. Cut out all of the wind noise but when we stopped to talk I had to pull one out to hear which was not ideal because they're a little weird to get back in. I'll be moving these over to my shooting ear pro where I know I'll love them because that's they're actual intended purpose.

Still not sure they work but...
But they seem to, to a certain extent.Without being an audiologist who can measure decibels, I really can't assess if the damaging sounds are lessened while letting the room sounds get through, I only hope that they are. I know I can hear the tv as clear as i could earlier, I can also hear the hammer on the pry bar. Does that mean the damaging sounds are reduced? I only feel the "vacuum"pressure sound they describe as a in proper fit in my left ear when I push it in. I don't get that on my right.So do they not fit? I dont know. Do I want to buy 3 completely separate sets to see? No.BTW, for size reference, I am a 5'10" woman, not a petite, so I chose Medium for size.Plus trying to get the silicone strap teeny plug end into the teeny tiny hole which is near impossible to see black on black, is a challenge. But I got it in.So I'll continue to wear them without knowing. They are better than the cheap over the head ear cuffs which are not easy to get on or off, they are so tight. I hope it's not just to give me a sense of security that I cannot sense.
