For example, while wearing the 100s and as you turn up the volume to the top of the 1st level (just prior to the beep), all conversations and sound around you are at about the same level as the sound you would hear without wearing them at all. Great pair of slip-ons if you need adjustments to accommodate your feet. I needed a more effective and lasting solution. Weve also used it when watching movies and playing games, and the sound in all situations is great (and noticeably better than the sound provided by the built-in TV speakers). Glad I tried them for myself. You don’t want want to ruin them too quick. The snug fit so they didnt ever slip on my feet. Once I received the 7s and tried them on, they fit like a glove! This is the only time the skipping happens. I got what i paid for.
