I'm a doctor, and wear the head loop masks all day; they fit me way better than the N95s I've tried, which tend to make the bridge of my nose sore in an hour or two, and these fit flat against my face for a pretty good seal where the N95s are harder to get a tight fit. Headloops rather than earloops prevent my ears from getting sore. Comfort is key so you'll actually wear them.
I really think the head loop masks are better protection and more comfortable.

As example, I was at a convention in Las Vegas over the summer which turned out to be a super spreader event. Many people I know got Covid. I was fine by wearing mine the whole time.
Comfortable, breathable, no weird smells out of the box. Thumbs up as this'll give me some discounts to restock up for the months to come.

I'm not a fan of today's China either but until we stop ALL trade with them, acting like they have the cooties makes no sense. Also, I do support a complete stop of all trade with ANY totalitarian regime. It's not just China, there are a quite a few of them around today. Until then, thanks for the coupon!
Here's one example of the data. 2.8% KF94 adequate protection vs 73% for a 3M n95. Anything with earloops won't press hard enough.

I just ordered some for myself so I haven't gotten them yet but from what I've read, they're designed to more comfortable while still offering the same protection as N95/KN95 masks

"Viral particles were not found in the petri dishes after coughing while wearing the N95 mask or the KF94 mask. While viral particles were detected in both the inner and outer surfaces of the surgical masks, those were detected only in the inner surfaces of the N95 and K94 masks."

Given your expertise in this field, what do you think about these 3M N95 that look more comfortable to wear?

As with any respirator, the seal is v. important. Make sure to do the seal check every time when you put on the mask and throughout the wearing time. Ideally, you would do a fit test (there's a kit you can buy but it's a bit complicated), but seal check is prob, the best one can do at home.

Also, 3M VFlex is cheaper than this and has n95 certification. https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/p/d/v000057779/
