I would buy this agin and probably will. The quality of the sound is very close to wearing no ear protection at all (you only seem to lose a bit of the lower frequency sounds, but nothing from mid to high frequency, from regular speech). The sound quality is pretty good, enough so that I can enjoy music. My guess is the coolness of it at night. UPDATE: I ordered the XL (next size bigger) and they fit my size 11 feet just fine. Not as high of a platform as I had imagined but it’s honestly perfect because I’m clumsy anyway lol. I look forward to replacing these when I can, and maybe donating these when I do. I don’t like that so much but I’m good as long as I can use them. He has to pick me up because Im in a wheelchair. I buy 925 silver from another site and have literally 100 pieces I have bought and I have never had any issues at all!
