Do not block enough sound
I really wanted to love these earplugs.  I have chronic migraine with sound sensitivity, so I wear earplugs almost every day.  I have been wearing the soft foam plugs, but when I saw these, I was eager to give them a try.  They looked perfect!<br />However, I was disappointed at their sound blocking abilities. The foam plugs do a much better job of blocking noise.  Even with these earplugs in, I still had to plug my ears with my fingers to block out loud sounds.<br /><br />Though they don’t do a good job of blocking sound, they are fairly comfortable and they stay in my ears much better than the foam plugs.  They’re also waterproof and come in a handy carrying case (though they get stuck in the case, making it hard to open or close).<br /><br />However, my main reason for wearing earplugs all the time is to block sound, and these fail at that, so I can’t give them more than three stars. It seems like I just cannot get a good seal with them  inside my ear canal.  If I could, perhaps they’d do a better job of blocking sound.<br />Also, they’re very OBVIOUS. They’re not very low profile and the bright colors make them quite noticeable.  I’m sure that if you dropped one, the bright color would aid in finding it, but I was hoping for an earplugs that was a bit more discrete and low profile.
