These are very important to me, I couldn't be happier having them, I can hear everything very well, the lower frequencies are still strong, and you can hear your own breathing and voice but I'm singing backing vocals with them on and it's ok, you just have to get used to it,
I don't know if they could be used by a main vocalist or a wind instrument player, I still have to try them while playing my flute or clarinet.
I play every weekend in a small bar, the audience is really loud, there is a lot of shouting, whistling and clapping, we set our guitars really loud too in the monitor, with the plugs on I can concentrate on my solos and not be upset by sudden noises, the sound system and setting is also a bit unpredictable, but I can tell you I don't fear feedback howling any more and there is no more ear buzzing or ringing after the party!!!
They are so discreet no one notices I'm wearing them.
The only down side is that they came a bit wrinkled, and don't look sleek like in the picture, probably a bad quality check or bad storage, I noticed someone complained about it before, nevertheless they still work and feel good, but for the price I want them to be perfect.
