I also have these. Depending on how loud your headphones out, i take one out and leave my headphone over one ear and put the plug in the other ear without the headphone on it. And put both in when i'm not mixing. Used them when i was front row @ future too, half the whales around me had fingers in their ears, I had my earplugs in that nobody can see anyway and I was sweet. So in summary, they work good
