I watched a comparison video (thank you Amazon) and decided these were closest to what I am looking for. I have small ear canals so it's important to me that they offer sizes. These are the first ear plugs that fit without hurting. I am going to sleep in them tonight to be sure they are secure and don't hurt. As far as noise reduction I think they are great. The memory foam core seems to do the trick for fitting and dampening the sound. Read more
These are a nice alternative for noise blocking headphones. My teen autistic son is alot more comfortable wearing these in the cafeteria. They are alot less bulky and still do the job. They look like earbuds so not to many people ask him why he is wearing ear plugs. He's happy I'm happy. Would buy again. Read more
These earbuds are not comfortable at all to me. Feels like I got cottonballs or Qtip stuck in my ears. I could clearly hear myself breathing which became annoying the longer I had the earbuds in. Also, could still hear the TV and people near me, but it sounded like mumbling as if they were far away. At bedtime, I couldn’t hear hubby snoring as loud — that alone is worth the investment! These earbuds would also be very perfect for yoga meditation because you can clearly focus your breathing and minimize distraction noises. At first the earbuds minimized the noise about 80% but unfortunately they kept sliding out my ear little by little so I had to keep pushing them back in. Its great that you get 4 sizes to try, but for me I tried the Large and XL and still had same problem. I have narrow ear canals and ears always popping and tend to buildup earwax more frequently than other people, so that could be impacting the fit. For that really earbuds/ AirPods typically don’t work for me for extended length of time. Definitely recommend following the instructions to ensure good fit and turn it so it’s pointing flat in middle of your ear. However, they can function great use for 20 min yoga and help me fall asleep. I also like the storage pouch. It’s soft to the touch and attaches to a keychain for convenience. Read more
I tried two other brands and sent them back because they weren't comfortable on my outer ear. I was worried that these might be the same because of the firm piece that was going to fit into my outer ear, but they don't hurt at all. They manage to block my husband's snoring too. Very comfortable. I don't care for the little case - wish it was a little box like the others I tried but most of the time they'll be on my nightstand. It will work fine if I take them on a trip but I won't use it for daily storage. Read more
Got these for a couple different activities. Snowblowing: I currently use the soft roll-up ear plugs. Trouble with these type, is that, well, in winter, they are very cold out in my shop. Rolling them up small enough to fit into my odd shaped ear canals, well, when they are cold (I keep them in the un-heated shop, with the snowblower) they don't roll up very well. These fit perfectly, snugly. And, they do come with other rubber tips, just in case you need a more custom fit. For me, the smallest tips work fine. Oh, my other use for these, is at the rifle range. I enjoy shooting, just don't do it enough. And these will work great with an AR, where wearing my noise reducing ear muffs really don't fit well - can't get a good cheek weld while wearing those. So, I'd wear, again, the soft roll up ear plugs. And in spring/summer/fall, they are fine, but, they still will come loose in short time, requiring a refit. So very pleased with these ear plugs.

These are surprisingly comfortable and easy to wear all night, even if you sleep on your side. They’re soft, don’t poke or put pressure on your ears, and I never felt the need to take them out halfway through the night. Big plus there. I also like these way more than foam plugs from a hygiene standpoint. Being silicone and reusable, they feel cleaner and easier to keep sanitary, which matters if you’re wearing them night after night. That said, manage expectations on noise reduction. They definitely reduce noise, but they don’t block it out as much as I was expecting. Things like background noise, light snoring, or general house sounds are toned down, but sharper or louder noises still come through more than I’d hoped. Overall, they’re comfortable, low-stress to wear, and a nice upgrade from foam if you hate the disposable stuff. Just don’t expect total silence—these are more about taking the edge off noise than completely shutting the world out. Read more
I am not impressed. Has no more sound proof than the foam ones. Read more
I spend time documenting long detailed notes at work. It gets overwhelming sometimes to hear the world around me especially my family and kids existing. I was pleasantly surprised that these noise cancelling ear plugs worked so well to cancel out noises-I noticed that higher frequency noises (like my keyboard clicking , chair squeaking or kids yelling) were the sounds that were most dulled to be way less distracting. Low frequency noises (like the trash truck’s low hum as it worked outside my window) seemed to be more clearly still heard with these plugs on. Which is totally fine because overall it muted the sounds of the world around me to a non-distracting zone where I could focus on work. I really love that they include four different sizes of silicone buds-I’ve never seen that on any product before. I have particularly small ear holes and with normal earbuds I always have to utilize the small size silicones. However, I thought it was great that with this product the second to the smallest size fits me perfectly which means I can likely use the smallest ones for my kids to use them. Lastly, how great is it that they come with a silicone little storage to strap on your bag?! (The round lavender keychain on my backpack picture) It holds them perfectly secure and they don’t fall out as long as it’s closed. The container is really easy to open too. They put so much thought into developing this product and it shows. Thank you for making such a great set of noise cancelling earphones!! Read more
