Not if you want to be able to hear in many years time. Sorry they're not good enough, constant exposure to noise, in particular on the ramp, I wouldn't wear anything else but something like these

If you are working for a UK airline, then the company is obliged under UK health and safety regulations to provide you with appropriate and adequate ear protection whilst on the ramp. VS for instance have these ear defenders for the cockpit crew on their a/c, why can't you.

I've been in this industry far longer than I care to remember and can say that due to ear protection worn I don't suffer any hearing loss or tinitus, it's up to you........Pardon!
