Deja vu. Didn't the OP spam us with this back in June?

I guess we'll see you again in February. :roll:

Yep this was the guy who was quoting US legislation not even standards (neither are as stringent as here in the UK), looks like they have finally got them tested to a UK relevant standard, BUT:

The reputable manufacturers like Moldex and Peltor give H, M & L attenuation values in addition to SNR values as they give more accurate information. This gives SNR values only.

I've seen the plugs you tear of a strip before, in real world use many plugs ended being damaged, that's why none of the well known manufacturers make them.

On the home page it states suitable for military applications, yet on another page states that the protection for impulse noise may not be reflected accurately by the SNR value, funny other manufacturers do test thier 'military' suitable protection under impulse conditions as well as the required standard tests.

And is this product advertisd in H&S publications? Construction publications? No by spamming forums.

And the final nail, the cost 60 pairs cost £12.99 excluding VAT and P&P. I can get a box of Moldex (200 pairs) for £15 quid. No contest really.

There is no way I'd even consider this product, let alone recommend it just on the way it's being promoted.
