"Sordins with gel cups. Comfortable, good protection, clear audio."
"Sort of the unwritten standard are going to be Sordins. Pricey, but if you can afford them, the way I look at it is how much is your hearing worth to you?"
"Sordin Supremes's are the way to go."
"Best on the market are the Swedish made Soridin ear pro."
