Sound reduction performance is good, similar to Etymotics
Sound reduction performance is good, similar to Etymotics, more reduction in mids and highs in comparison to the higher end Hearos. Attenuation for low bass/subs is ok but noticeably less than the high end (pretty much to be expected as this is a weak point for all of these).<br /><br />Unfortunately after the first use and cleaning, the filter apparently fell out of one of the plugs, which I found out to my surprise when I put it in a couple days later and it didn't do anything. I've used other similar plugs for about a decade and never had anything like that happen with them. It was a bummer since I liked the lower profile design of these, but maybe that also has something to do with why it couldn't hold the filter securely.
