I too thank you for posting. I ordered a set and I'm very pleased with them. The first shot was disappointing, but I worked the foam tip deeper into the ear canal, in other words, inserted them per directions, and was very pleased. The neck piece is light, you do not notice it, can hear normal sounds better than with other electronic muffs I've used and I believe the claimed 31 db NRR rating (when properly inserted). My other muffs have NRR in mid to high 20s and these are quieter. I appreciate the tip!
