Very difficult to get in and out.
These work well-- if you can get them in all the way. Unfortunately it's very difficult to get these in past the first flange because they are so short and there is very little to hold on to. I regret not buying the &#34;long stem&#34; version.<br /><br />I tried these after previously owning the tri-flange variety with the long, clear plastic stems that stick out (Mack's brand). I do think these are a bit more comfortable with the two flanges that don't go in as far instead of three, but as I mentioned they are dramatically more difficult to get in. I wore these to a concert and they did the job, but I kept fiddling with them the whole time trying to snug them in a bit further for a full and proper seal.<br /><br />In terms of &#34;sound quality,&#34; I only compared them briefly but I didn't notice enough of a difference between these and my other &#34;high fidelity&#34; earplugs to say either of them are notably better.<br /><br />Definitely get the &#34;long stem&#34; version.
