Hard to put in and get out of ears.
These earplugs are okay for cutting down excess volume at concerts.  The problem is they have a very short stem so they are hard to get in and out of my ears.  My long fingernails on my guitar fingerpicking hand help but it is still difficult.  There are times when pinching the hard plastic stems with my nails created a loud noise in my ear which left it ringing.  That's not something you want in an earplug that is supposed to be protecting your ears.  I won't buy these again.  I like the case they come in.
