Great, until they fall apart
When I first received these ear plugs, I was ecstatic. The case they come in is wonderful, despite it squeaking occasionally when I would unscrew the top. The ear plugs themselves fit comfortably and cancelled out a great deal of the noise, but still allowed me to have a conversation with excellent clarity. I have not had the same difficulty that other reviewers have had with removing these ear plugs. I used these both for mowing the lawn and while I was practicing with my university's drum line. However, after a few weeks of use the hard stem came out of one of the ear plugs when I was trying to remove it! This makes it nearly impossible to get the silicone part and consequently ruins the ear plug so that I am no longer able to have clear conversations. Since this happened, attempting to talk with these in results in the same muffled fuzzy sound you get with any other ear plug. The same thing happened to the second ear plug a few days later.
