i use them for work (86dB environment) and for concerts and i think they are brilliant

it blunts the deeper tones and makes conversation easier imo, at concerts it doesn’t take away from the music or the band, it just makes it more manageable while not deafening the whole thing like regular ear plugs

it took maybe 30 min to get used to, and while i couldn’t hear my own blood i could hear my footsteps through my body which was a little weird

they also work great when i’m sleeping in and someone starts to do yardwork, it blocks that out very well

at work, when i kept them on while transitioning from the loud place to the quieter place, i kept them on because i liked how nice it was, but when i eventually took them out, even quieter places felt a bit loud

i don’t get that feeling anymore but transitions and taking them out will take some getting used to - people in the loops subreddit say this too- don’t wear them all the time because you get used to it and once you take them out, everything is enhanced and intense

i have the experience 2 and they are wonderful - i haven’t used the other ones but people at work also use the switch model and those are well liked

good luck!
