Compared to almost all the other ear defenders and ear muffs, these look the best and cancel the most noise. A month after purchase and alot of violence, they still look and work like new. I shown these to a few friends and they stated 'wow... I can't hear myself speak' and 'I should use this for when my girlfriend come round!' (True pun intended). At the moment my main use for this is for flights- When I watch a movie or something, I put my earphones on and then these over them (basically a cheap, yet effective set of noise cancelling earphone-headphones). I'm very pleased how this all turned out. But A thing you need to know, it takes more strength adjusting them then it takes to win an armwrestle! So as a conclusion; Great build quality, worth every penny and works brilliantly!!

Lightweight and comfortable, but no attenuation for low frequencies such as neighbours thudding and footstep noise from an above flat and against kids kicking a football against your wall.

DIY and tools: well-padded so easyto wear these earmuffs stop most extraneous noises whilst being unobtrusive in the wearing. A splendid purchase for all but the most deafening sounds - keeeps the kids' noises from your space, too!
