Noises:I have used these ear plugs to get much needed rest against: snoring boyfriends in a queen bed, noisy hotel neighbors, loud roommates in the hall and kitchen, dogs pacing and barreling down the hall, garbage trucks and cars outside, birds at 5am, worried parents trying to clean the house at 7am before Thanksgiving guests arrive, airplanes taking off, and vacuums. My installation took 3 hours. I like these far better than a $100 pair of handmade wool and suede slippers that I bought last year that didnt last nine months. I have to double the belt back through the loop so it doesnt flop around during my swing. ) until I began to wear woven-wedge platform shoes in 2015.

Bluetooth range: I can leave my iPhone XS Max or iPad on my desk and walk into the kitchen, a distance of about 35 feet with walls in between, and experience no drop outs. You can hear a bird taking a deuce in a tree and know from what direction its coming from. I use the head sets mostly for the gym and recently on a 6 hour flight.
