The foam plugs are very comfortable, and block a huge amount of ambient noise. They hang on to their plug material well, unlike the Vibes I am using now. The Vibes, I had to reglue a metal screen already, and will be returning. The thought of a metal screen loose in my ear canal does not excite me.

for me either.

The Shure E2c's are great and if you are patient you can get them for under $40, maybe even under $30 if you are really patient. The replacable wax screens are nice, but kind of annoying to keep in place when you change them and put the ear plug back on.

The foam plugs are great as stated. I found the others not that great, but everyone in different.

On the other hand, I think the foam plugs will almost block too much noise for the poker table if you plan on hearing anyone. Even without music they act like ear plugs and block a lot of noise.
