I have this article just once more ordered because the package is now empty. I remember that I had initially difficulties, because the plugs seemed too big and did initially hurt something. I got used to it quickly and ear plugs and have adapted well to each other :-) I write this review as well, because I sent yesterday deeply disappointed a highly acclaimed protection headphones back, who had promised protection to 98dB. Was not the case - great noise was indeed dampened somewhat, but I still heard the banging doors of neighbors and could understand what my friend next to me says. This is with the different plugs: I want to understand my friend, I have to take out and the Rumsen is only a distant 'boom', very good sustain. You should change them more often and also disinfect the ears sometimes gently, because at first I was a little sore symptoms of ear canals. This takes place in that we turn the plugs flush with the finger in the form. But that's to master everything. Anyway, I'm excited and can only all warmest looking for real protection.
