There is a Seal Test on Ear monitors, plugs and hearing protectors - Sensaphonics (lower right corner) that I have always found to be helpful.

For instance right now I have the Complys on (didn't remember how comfortable they are compared to the silicones) and with no music playing I can make out what people on TV (which is about 1.5 m away from me, @ normal listening volume) are saying, although it obviously sounds muffled. Are they supposed to isolate more? As far as sound is concerned they sound pretty good to me, bass is definitely there... Oh BTW, as for my "insertion" technique, I try to put them in as deep as they will go without causing discomfort (it's kinda weird cause the ear canal seems to make a bend after a bit, so that the earphones go in at an angle), is that right? Please help me get rid of the seal virus!! |
