Loud noise exposure / headphone accident maybe?
Does anyone know why the electronic ones are much smaller btw? I suppose their noise reduction is also passive?

It is because they work like regulair earplug (NNR depends on model) but it also have in microphone(outter) and speaker(inner) parts of it.

When you turn on - chip scans noise surtounding you and "perfects it" so you could hear everything well not your ears will preceive it under or at safe levels to your ears. Exaple: siren nlasys next to you - ykur eardrums will get only 80db even if siren went 100db.

Now, i would nit recommend electronic ones - they are not as good as foam and cost like $500 for pair or more.
 
I need extremely slim earmuffs, who still give a protection as good as possible for their size.
Not for style or any other silly reason, but because I won't be able to use them during my job if they are too bulky.
Price is not that important.

Any tips?

I've found this: but it's still too thick for my liking:

Bro, get yourself earbuds with 26 or 27db nnr (Certified OSHA), no bs.

Plus to all - thry will never produce sound above 85db regardless of how loud your music is or if aomeone screams on another side of the call.
 
Yeah, I've got custom made plugs. But the problem is that I'll have my intercom in those plugs. And I want something extra for over those plugs.

I guess these are fine then. I have seen some other ones that are pretty slim and have better noise reduction that you have listed. I saw them on amazon as well.
