Ear Plugs that Take Volume from HIGH to LOW, While Maintaining Clarity in Hearing, Smart Design
These ear plugs are great! They are made with a very very soft plastic material, which makes wearing them VERY comfortable. Even the slightest touch causes the three cone-shaped cylinders to bend to my fingers, and of course to my ears when wearing. Normal foam ear plugs expand and it feels like it's putting pressure on my ear. These do not do that.<br /><br />When I think of ear plugs, I normally think about blocking ALL of the sound out. Normal foam ear plugs block most of it out and make close, loud noise sound muffled. These ear plugs are different in that they turn down the volume of the sound from HIGH to LOW. It's really great, because you can still hear conversations and music quite clear, but it's just turned down low.<br /><br />There is definitely quite a bit of thought that was put into the design of these in order to create the volume decrease, along with maintaining clarity. I'm quite impressed with these.<br /><br />My personal application so far has been variable. I've used these for listening to music, but primarily, I use them at night when sleeping. My neighbors have several dogs that bark at night. I'm a light sleeper and haven't been sleeping well as a result. When I use these, I can sleep really well, and yet still feel comfortable that if something was to happen in the middle of the night that was &#34;off,&#34; I'd hear it and be able to wake up and respond to it.<br /><br />This would've come in handy on my Kilimanjaro trek. I wish I'd have known about these then. Those porters are quite noisy at night. ;) That said, it's always nice to be aware of what's going on around you when backpacking and camping. To block out all the noise, is to block one of your senses. I really really like these in that it lowers the volume quite low, but doesn't completely block out my sense of hearing. It does a great job of maintaining it at lower volumes. Very impressed.<br /><br />The carrying case is awesome for taking these around when traveling. I included a picture of the case next to a standard sized pen so you can get an idea of how big it is in relation to something. I highly recommend these.<br /><br />I received this product at a discount in exchange for my honest review. This review is based solely on my use of the product.
