[TheForge] Decibullz Custom Molded Earplugs and Earphones

[J. Petrila]

Sure fire sonic defenders are the ones I currently use..   They do a very
good job at limiting noise..

Silencio Silent partner  is the ones I had.. I looked for them but I must
have left them at my Dads house.. in fact I can remember exactly where I
left them.. Someone moved into my old apartment so I imagine they are
gone..   They worked very well but were hard to put in.. But once in they
worked great..

I have been looking for noise cancelling ear inserts.. I have Nuhearra
IQbuds which I was disappointed in as they were advertised at customization
noise cancellation..

but they don't work the way I would want..

With 2 high a noise block, I find I dislike them as it just removes to much
sound..

The Decibultz come in several different variations..  I'd be curious as to
what people think of them..
