I have a set and they work pretty well up to a point. After that you really need double ear pro. You can easily have a conversation while around loud noises without losing too much. The zinc-air batteries definitely have to be changed periodically. Some versions of them can also accomodate sound tube or electronic secondary inputs. There is a custom molded set and a generic set that uses foam covers.
They also make a passive set that blocks loud noises while permitting most low level sound to come through. Not perfect, but better than a set of normal ear plugs.
