Earplugs were difficult to remove
Was excited to try the ear plugs when they arrived. The DownBeats plugs fit into my ears and felt okay. After a couple minutes I tried to remove the earplugs but the little nubs were too short! I don't have long fingernails and was unable to pinch the ends. Luckily I was at home and was able to use tweezers to get them out. If I had used them at a concert they would have been stuck. Purchased a different brand of earplugs that had longer nubs which made them easy to remove. Those earplugs came with a cheap cord to attach to the end nubs. I was able to use that necklace to attach to the small DownBeats nubs. Now I can use the DownBeats earplugs if I want. I'd trade the metal DownBeats carrying case in a heartbeat for a cord to attach to the earplugs.
