If you wear glasses, the arms break the seal and the protection level is somewhat diminished. But we also need eye protection, so it's a compromise.

I have a pair of those and like them a lot, easier to store in a small bag, but for me the 3M pair I linked to are a bit better for pure noise reduction.Quietest non-electronic muffs are my Clear Armor pair,
They dont require holding in place for 30 seconds like the orange pair. Even if i hold them for 30 seconds, they still back out.

I've seen several different brands on Amazon, and most of them have negative reports of "not being to the dB rating they claimed". the Decibel Defense is one of them.
I may pick up a pair of 3M or Howard Leight.
Has anyone had success with Walkers?
I wonder if most of the effective dB reduction has to do with the part that fits next to the head? The seal seems to be the most important part, so a pair with the most flexible ear pieces might be best.
