Stem is much too short
I barely inserted one of these DownBeats ear plugs into my ear canal, then had quite a difficult time getting it out due to the extremely short stem. Very hard to grab the stem with thumb and index finger. If I'd inserted the plug the proper distance into my ear canal, I fear I'd have to solicit a friend's help to take it out with needle-nosed pliers. So, the plugs are unusable. Did not insert them far enough to judge sound attenuation. Couldn't return the plugs because I missed the Amazon 30-day return window by one day.
