Ear plugs I am liking

[cos_fz1]

I recently got a pair of these ear plugs off ebay and like them. They reduce a lot of noise if that is what you are after.

Sonic Defenders^® <i>Plus</i> from SureFire

I have these and they work really well just becareful around anything that is getting up over 110 dbs. They don't block everything out.

I use foamies every day and the box lists them as a 29dB NRR (noise reduction rating), but these Sonic Defenders are only 24dB--what gives?

I don't quite understand how the NRR system works but it seems strange that the more expensive ones would reduce noise less.

I believe it is beacuse of the pass through design they have.

I have tried foam plugs before and still have some, they don't work very well for me.

I have tried these silicone moldable ones:

The Surefire EarPro EP4 Sonic Defenders Plus Earplugs are working for me way better than anything else I have tried.

It's probably based on ear canal shape or something but the other options I tried left me looking to try something else.

If your ears are narrow in the canal or sensitive to the pressure of foam plugs, try these. I will use these when I remember to grab them and take 'em with me!!!
