Please make them stop. Why are they still legal? My neighbor has been using a mower, weed eater, and leaf blower for 5.5 hours. Nobody else ever notices the noise but my auditory sensitivities make me want to claw my skin off.

How comfortable would you say these are? Which material for them did you end up going with?

I bought two sets of the titanium ones, which have better isolation performance than aluminium. The original set was from the kickstarter then a new set a year or two ago. They're absolutely fantastic at music gigs, you can hear everything clearly without it being deafening or damaging. The only sounds that get in are bone conducted.

I find them comfortable enough to wear for a few hours (3-5) without stress, and I rarely ever wear anything else in-ear like earphones because I don't find in-ears comfortable.

They are so deafening that it took a little while to get used to them, it's weird hearing things so muted but also undistorted
