Ear molds are the way to go with the Mach 1
I bought the Mach 1's and didn't care for them at first. The blue ear plugs sucked, but the yellow plugs did a fair job. The ear loop does interfere with glasses, and does not keep the boom from moving. After buying the first set, I returned them because I wasn't impressed. I bought them a second time when I learned that ear molds (see lightspeed.com for info.) could be used. Since I started using the ear molds, I find them to be MUCH better. The ear loop can be removed because the boom plugs snuggly into the left ear piece which makes the boom very stable.
I use the Mach 1's (the FO uses my Telex 750's and ear plugs) and a portable intercom in old and noisy Falcon 20's and Lear 24/25's. They work great. Yes, it does take a few seconds longer to insert the ear molds, but I like them much better than head clamps.
