Tom,
I read about this ear protection. It does sound a bit strange, something
to do with the shape of the headband, the fact that there is a 90 degree
turn where the headband connects to the ear plug itself. The website
wasn't very specific. Supposedly, it will help reduce low and high
frequency noise more than midrange. It attenuates all sound somewhat
though.
From a mechanical standpoint, I guess that the mass of the head band, and
it's resistance to flex, might increase the attenuation over just the
ear plugs.
I ordered a set, plus some replacement plugs, and shipped it cost 29
bucks. I'm willing to pay 29 bucks to test them out. My hearing is
pretty important to me.
