In contrast the SS buds were fitted there and then, they go right into the ear and are near invisible. As they seal better and are deeper the clarity is much better. Only if the NHS uses buds and the very thin tube could they equal these.
Those buds are exactly what you will get at our local NHS, my wife actually uses them. However there are people who think you cannot get them on the NHS, you can and without the purchase price and ongoing service and battery costs. Check first before spending.
