The surprise is the rating: a sealed canal insert out-attenuates most muff cushions, which is how the smallest Earmor carries the family's biggest number.

Charge before every session — dead earbuds still seal passively, but quiet protection tempts removal. Indoor ranges and magnum calibers warrant a muff layered over the buds.
