It's rather important to understand that this does NOT completely block out sounds. Good if you want to hear someone scream to you, or the kids hollering when they get home from school, or the dog barking. Bad if you want complete, tomb-like quiet.
The package clearly states that the overhead plastic has a canal in it that conducts sounds. It mutes them, but they still make it to your ears. In fact, there are holes at the ears to allow sound to come in from the black overhead piece. So, what are they good for? As someone else noted, they drown out droning of airplanes, machinery, clocks, computers, etc. I have them on right now snugly and tight as the instructions say, and I can still hear the keyboard clicks, but not so much the clock or the computer hum or cars passing outdoors. If my cell phone rang in the next room, I'd still hear it (but faintly).
So, these are great when you still want some degree of hearing... my son plays the guitar in a band, and this cuts the drums. Some who work in a cubicle at work might use it. It's extremely lightweight, causes no head pain at all, and is ratchet adjustable to head size (so you need not resize it every time you use it, like headphones). I own at least 6 different headphone/earphones for noice suppression, and these are far and away the most comfortable. I could wear them for hours.
If you want extreme quiet, see my reviews on two great products: the Bilsom Thunder 3 and the Peltor H10A.
Please do me a quick favor and click if this review did or did not help you, either way your feedback helps me know what to include in the future on the reviews. Thanks, I appreciate it. Have a wonderful day,
