Eventually I discovered that if you give them a bit of a lick, they go in much easier and they stay in.
I like them a lot... much more than any of the disposable ones I've used in the past.
I like the fact there are 2 options for how much noise you can filter out.
1. Plug in = filters pretty much everything so you can hear yourself breathing and chewing
or
2. Plug out = only stuff >85db?. Will reduce the noise level but you'll still be able to clearly hear most things.
I did end up buying another pair, but a medium and they fit even better. for ~USD$15 /pr on ebay, it's pretty hard to beat them for value. |
Good on ya for posting the licking bit. In the morning after a shower they go in fine, but when leaving the office I have to give them a bit of a lick as well to make sure they stay seated.
