Yeah, I bought the same exact set of ear protectors and ended up not using them at all - either my ears are of a weird shape or my tolerance for something pressing at antihelix is lower than average. So keep in mind when buying these that if you have large or 'stick out' ears the protector might be very uncomfortable. Perhaps going to an industrial safety and trying them on (with your earplugs on! that's important as any pressure on the earplug is bad) is your best bet.
