Hearing protection,, Which one to buy?

[Defaultmp3]

Just saying black foamies do not work for me. Small, medium, large, whatever, for me they are inadequate.

But which foam tips have you tried? A size alone doesn't tell me much. For example, the aforementioned Comply Professional tips (or Canal Tips Original length, depending on which line you buy) are fairly different from the Comply Originals and Shure olives, all have the S/M/L sizing and can be aptly described as being "black foamies". And they're all different from the Shure triple flange, or Shure yellow foamies, or 3M Skull Screw communication tips, etc., all of which can fit on most of the in-ear ear pro on the market.

If you can get good results from just plane old McMaster-Carr foamies, there's no reason why foam tips wouldn't work for you. There's no magic between having a solid foam plug versus using it as a tip on electronic in-ear ear pro.
