Could Somebody Help Me with Buying Earmuffs?

[Apocalypse77]

I have to buy Peltor X5A earmuffs today. Amazon sells them but there are two different types.

3M PELTOR X Series Ear Muff, Headband, X5A

3M Peltor X-Series Over-the-Head Earmuffs, NRR 31 dB, One Size Fits Most, Black X5A (Pack of 1)

Aren't they the same?

I live in Finland so will they come here in 15 days?

Should I buy EarPlanes or Flite Mate's? Need quick answer!

 

[Bill Bauer]

They are the same.

That one has delivery option via courier;

This item ships to Finland. Want it Monday, Oct. 2? Order within 8 hrs 30 mins and choose AmazonGlobal Priority Shipping at checkout.​

The slower (cheaper) shipping method is so-so if you need them by certain date in the near future, as it usually takes 1.5-3 weeks, sometimes longer, to Finland.

 

[Apocalypse77]

I found a store that sells them here in Finland and it said only 3-5 days so I will buy them from here.

 

[Apocalypse77]

They are the same.

What about EarPlanes, which size is right for me, the small or big one? Can I test my ear canal size by some way?

Do you have small ears? What size do you normally use for foam earplugs? I bought the kid size (small) and they seem to fit me well.

The big one will probably provide the most protection...

 

[Tinker Bell]

The big one will probably provide the most protection...

Or be uncomfortable and not fit correctly if your ears are small.

On the flip side, too small will not fit correctly and possibly fall out.

Honestly, I think you would know if your ears are small. Every audiologist and ENT has commented on how small my ears are, and regular foam ear plugs really stick out a lot on me -- even when they're in correctly.

Order the regular size and try them out.

The 'large' ones aren't really that large. They're too small for me.

Do you have small ears? What size do you normally use for foam earplugs?

My father worked as CEO on an airline company and so we used to travel a lot and from these flights we always got earplugs. So I don't know the size.

 

[Apocalypse77]

I have to cut a little from the top to fit them properly in my ears.

So your father is rich?

 

[Apocalypse77]

Order the regular size and try them out.

There is only small and big size.

Probably normal. I typically buy women's earplugs, which are smaller than normal sized ones. Go with the regular. I bet they'll work well for you!

 

[Apocalypse77]

So your father is rich?

I wouldn't say his rich. The company paid for his flights.

 

[Apocalypse77]

Probably normal. I typically buy women's earplugs, which are smaller than normal sized ones. Go with the regular. I bet they'll work well for you!

I would buy the regular size if there was that option

An audiologist had once commented on my small ear canals. I still use large foam ear plugs and they seem to fit fine.
