Been using my sound gear for over two years now (My esp lasted me a over a decade though and cant complain about that.) Dropped the soundgear and stepped on by accident, sent them back to see how much to repair and they sent me a new set for free including freight. Their parent company is Starkey which is one of the largest hearing aid companies in the world too so they know what they are doing.
As for comparison:
I have owned ESP and sound gear and can't tell any difference.
Soundgear is suppresses sound 95db vs the esp 90db.
Customer service from both are great.
Soundgear is $1200 vs the ESP for $900 ($1600+ for digital)
Main take away:
Since molded and electronic, you are likely to wear them and keep them in so less likely to be exposed to harmful effects and either is a step up!
