To insert them, you roll them gently with your fingers and insert them relatively quickly so the foam expands to fit your ear canal. These provide the best fit possible. However, they tend to wear out fairly quickly, lasting a couple months at best. Replacements are readily available, but it was too much hassle for me. | |

Noise-cancelling headphones are much less efficient (especially for voices) than in-ear ones that have a good seal. The only problem is that, at least for me, they become somewhat painful to wear after a few hours. Then again, that’s true of all headphones. | |
