AXIL X30i 2 pack

I'm also curious on the performance of these; I've noticed at my local range that there's more & more in-ear, earpro users than the typical over the ear Walkers/Peltors.

I've always been a over the ear guy (I do keep a pair of Surefire In-ear plugs in my range bag for additional/backup protection), but lately I've been curious as to the performance of the in-ear stuff. Are they as good as the OTE stuff, or are they just cheapo Chinese goods with a bit of ANR/ANC?
 
When looking at the NRR numbers, it seems like OTE is able to achieve higher than in ear in general. I have both and in ear is definitely a comfort choice while sacrificing some NRR but it’s always enough NRR to be comfortable.
 
I bought some of their other in ear model and used them once. They have been on my dresser since. They always feel like they're falling out, and noise creeps in a bit if you're chewing gum, or talking.
