Musicians practice and perform in a variety of different settings.They are exposed to high levels of sound, sometimes for long periods and may require different amounts of protection depending on sound levels encountered during rehearsals and performance.The Hellion High-Fidelity hearing protection plugs provide 2 switchable levels of attenuation - 18dB in open mode or 23dB in close mode.Potentially harmful high-pitch frequencies are further attenuated as the noise level increases (see graph and test sheets in the pics).The rocker switch is located on top of the filter itself and can be easily accessed with the plugs on or off.A detachable silicon cord to wear around the neck, linking the two earplugs is provided. Never drop or loose your earplugs again.A reinforced and padded pocket size pouch is also included to store the plugs when not in use.These ear plugs are made of a new TPE material which is more skin-friendly and comfortable for long time wearing.Perfect fit: 3 different sizes available: Small Medium and Large (search for Hellion HLNEP101S, HLNEP101M or HLNEP101L)NOTE: THE DIFFERENCE IN ATTENUATION BETWEEN OPEN AND CLOSE MODE IS MORE NOTICEABLE AS THE NOISE LEVEL INCREASES

a nice idea, but need a bit of a redesign. decent carry case.
ok... plus points.the carry case is good. lets ear plugs dry when inside it after washing.the extra soft material makes them easy to wear once you get them in right.the benefit of their short form meant they could be worn under over-ear ear-defenders, or headphones.they are available in a size small.minus points.did very little to block machine noise, not much to the hiss of air tools.the inner plastic 'switch' part is not held in well by the soft plug material.the string you can attach to them falls off too easily.the soft material means it is hard to actually get them into your ears properly.after being sent a relplacment medium set due to the first falling down a grate, i also noticed that the string connector interferes with proper fit, as it sits unter the 3rd/large flange preventing it from shrinking to the shape of the ear.when in the ear, the switch feels fiddly to operate, and can be changed by you putting them in your ears.in their closed position they block a little more noise than the 12db plugs the workplace hands out on request, but noticeably less than 20db etymotic or 3m plugs. in their open position they only take a bit of the high pitch hiss off an air gun.if the hard inner body part extended to the 2nd flange it would help the issue of its weak seating in the plugs, and provide some sturdiness to get them properly seated in the ear.even if these are "for musicians", id say they are for school or light band practice. i cant see them protecting your hearing well in a club or performance setting for long.

Just the job
Fiddly to put in. Can still hear the rest of the band but no more ringing in my ears from the timp! Really useful cord so you can have them around your neck until you need them

Do exactly what they should do.
The small size is excellent for my small ear canals. I had an ear operation a few years ago that means my ear canal is tender. These ear plugs remain more comfortable than a hearing aid.

Very comfortable.
I've been using standard earplugs on flights for years.These are a world apart. Very comfortable and can wear them for hours. Good price and will purchase again as presents for family members.
