      Loud club
      Having a nasty spike from the gym. 75-85 dB was too much even with ear plugs. Also the pressure I get inside my ears when doing heavy compounds with earplugs in is horrible and i get a really heavy pulse inside my ears and they sweat to much.

      I'm in the process of finding a new quieter gym but I doubt I'll find one, all gyms play music.

      I want earmuffs that are not too wide.

      I own the Peltor X5A but don't want to walk around with them as they're too bulky and wide and annoying to train in.

      I want something low profile that blocks the most noise possible!

      I'd even buy noise cancelling headphones if they're better or electronic muffs.

      I've got the Peltor X3As and the X5As, and the X3s are a good bit slimmer. The noise reduction is still superb.

      @Tinker Bell, yep works well for me! Not too big and has a good seal. Also foldable so I can slip it in my handbag. It feels kind of tight around my head but I have a big head so I always have that issue with earmuffs.
