Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2018
I read a review that mentioned that a long time "flents quiet time" user (which is the purple earplugs) switched over to the "flents quiet contour" (high visibility yellow) because they were better in every way. So, I had just placed my annual order of the purple ones (been using for 4 years or so) when I decided to do a little research. I thought I'd try these "quiet contour" ones, and see what was what. I'm a carpenter by day, also putting in a bit of time in a commercial cabinetry shop so these are a must. I was not impressed with the "quiet contour" ones. They aren't the same type of foam, these ones being more airy I'd say.... They don't expand to the same density. I tested them at the same time and the purple "quiet time" ones easily outperformed and felt better in my ear. They say they have the same noise reduction rating, but I see the green ones say, "manufactured by MOLDEX". Whatever that is, I'm guessing that is where the difference is. A pro-tip, and what sets these apart from the cheapo ones that most employers supply is that if you keep these in your pockets, they can go through the wash a couple times before they're no good. No sense throwing them away after one day's use...
Get purple!!
