probably not the BEST but well worth the price
Yes things will be muffled somewhat, but nowhere near as bad as &#34;normal&#34; earplugs. I'm used to ringing in my ears for the entire next day after a concert, but not with these. Shortly after the show all ringing has completely ceased and I could possibly forget just how recently I had been at a show.  PLUS the case is fairly nice and they are washable and reusable. At this price range, if you have any hearing concerns I'd suggest giving them a try.
