Product Reviews of Howard Leight Qb 2 Quiet Band EarplugProduct Review: Discolored and hardly blocked any sound Summary: 1 Stars
They must have wanted to get rid of the bad batch since when I opened the box, the "orange band" has about 20 different shades and colors. I am not sure if this is by design, since when I look very closely at the image of this on the site you can see the little discolorations. If this is by design it is really horrible, since it has splashes of pink, purple, and yellow scattered throughout the band. However I didn't give this a one star for it's looks... I am not sure if it is because of the size of my head, but these do not hardly block any sound! I guess there is a gap where the plug inserts in my ear since I can still hear everything. If I go to the shooting range with these things I am sure my ears will ring for days. I won't even bother returning these cheap things, I will throw them away now.
Product Review: Ears Summary: 5 Stars
For all intents and purposes seems to fit the bill. No problems with it. Could maybe use a more subdued color but this may answer safety concerns regarding hearing an approaching danger and thus alerting the equiptment operator of a hearing deficiency. Best guess.
Product Review: Great for woodworkers Summary: 5 Stars
These are lightweight AND very effective at reducing noise. When not in use the band hangs loosely around your neck, out of your way completely. Very cost effective for a great product!
Product Review: Handy Summary: 4 Stars
This ear protection is great. Only better thing would be if they offered another type of the part that you put in your ear. When I worked we could get a mushroomed shaped thing that worked better, but Amazon (and all other places I've checked) didn't have those.
Product Review: Not comfortable Summary: 2 Stars
My wife and I each (independently) got these; neither of us find them comfortable enough to wear for long. They attenuate sound reasonably well, particularly higher frequencies. Voices are blocked less than I'd like, this meant it wasn't ideal for blocking out her TV watching, but the comfort was the real issue. I'm going back to the classic yellow earplugs, which I find much more comfortable.
