The product includes 3 additional pairs of earbuds with different sizes. It also included a compact travel case. They worked really well and after putting them on I can barely hear the sound coming from my partners phone. I slept right through like a baby and didn’t even notice that she left the room. The case is very elegant and compact. Easy to be carried around. I’ll be bringing this everywhere for our travels! Read more
Super useful the cancellation is very nice comparing other product I tried before and there are many size options which is great! Will purchase again for my partner! Read more
The description for these ear plugs is confusing because it says "Ear Plugs for Sleeping Noise Cancelling" but there is no ANC (Active Noise Cancelling) with these ear plugs. The best that can be said is there is some noise reduction or muffling. I'm not an expert, but according to an Internet lookup: "Noise-cancelling is technology that uses microphones to analyze external sound waves, then creates opposite sound waves (anti-noise) to cancel them out through destructive interference." There is no "active" anything with these ear plugs. They are simply passive ear plugs. I have a small desk fan, and these ear plugs reduce the humming sound of the fan, but I can still hear the hum. Compare that to my ear buds that have Active Noise Cancelling. With the ANC turned on, the hum of the fan is eliminated, i.e., canceled. On the plus side, these ear plugs come with 4 sizes of silicone ear tips, so it's likely you can find one that is a good fit for your ears. When inserted in the ears, the ear plugs can be positioned so that they are flush and flat on the external side, so they are comfortable to use when you lay your head on a pillow for sleeping on your side. These ear plugs come with a small case to pack the ear plugs in. These ear plugs are an improvement over disposable ear plugs, but just be aware that they are not noise canceling. If the claim of "noise canceling" was removed from the description, I would increase my rating to 4 stars. Read more
These just wouldn't fit no matter which tip I used. They just didn't stay in. While in, they didn't block much sound. IMO, these are not noise cancelling. They just don't do the job. Read more
There are better general solutions for earplugs out there but if you are a side sleeper, these are the best solution I’ve found. The problem with most earplugs is that they stick way out from your ears. If you turn your head sideways while sleeping or even touch the pillow with your ear, a typical plug will push into your ear and, at the very least, wake up. If they push too far, they can damage your eardrum. These plugs lay flat in your ear. They do not stick out at all so even laying your head on a pillow works out fine. They lay very flat inside the ear. Another benefit is that they will not hook on anything and fall out while sleeping. You have a choice of different size silicone plugs and you can get a snug comfortable fit. These ate the same style silicone plugs that fit on standard headphones, so they are easily replaceable and allow you to always get a good fit. These will not block 100% of sound. The are 30 dB down, which is a lot, but if someone is playing drums next to you, you’re still going to hear it. I would call it similar to putting a pillow over your ear. So yeah, if you need a general solution then these might not be what you want but for sleeping these are very good. For the price, these are a nice value as well They are easy to store in the case (see pictures). Read more
The media could not be loaded. I attended a basketball game as a Christmas gift from my son-in-law and anticipated a very loud environment filled with cheering spectators and amplified commentary. To protect my hearing while still being able to converse with my family, I decided to try the Podstring Ear Plugs. They performed exactly as intended—significantly reducing overall noise levels without completely isolating me from my surroundings. They were also so comfortable that I often forgot I was wearing them. Although I received these earplugs from Amazon at no cost, this review is based entirely on hands-on use and reflects my independent and unbiased assessment. FAVORABLE FEATURES Effective Noise Reduction These earplugs reduce loud sounds noticeably and consistently. They dampen crowd noise and amplified audio while still allowing speech and important ambient sounds to remain audible. This balance makes them well-suited for sporting events, concerts, or other noisy public settings. In my experience, they performed better than standard disposable foam earplugs, which often block too much sound and distort speech. Exceptional Wearing Comfort Comfort is one of the strongest aspects of these earplugs. I wore them throughout an entire basketball game and later overnight without experiencing pressure, soreness, or fatigue. The soft silicone tips and lightweight construction allow them to stay securely in place without feeling intrusive. Customizable Fit The earplugs come with four different tip sizes, making it easy to find a secure and comfortable fit. Swapping out the tips is straightforward and requires no tools or special effort. No Batteries Required Because these earplugs are fully passive, there is no need to worry about charging or battery life. This makes them especially convenient for long events, travel, or overnight use. Low-Profile Appearance The compact, black color, and ergonomic design makes these earplugs far less noticeable than traditional bright colored foam earplugs. When worn, they are discreet and may even resemble small hearing devices rather than protective gear. Protective Carrying Case A compact carrying case is included, which helps keep the earplugs clean and organized while reducing the risk of loss during travel or daily use. THINGS TO CONSIDER Noise Reduction, Not Noise Cancellation Despite some wording in the product listing, these earplugs do not actively cancel noise. They reduce overall sound levels but do not fully block mid- or high-frequency noises. This is expected for passive earplugs and should not be confused with electronic noise-canceling devices. Lightweight Materials Require Careful Handling The silicone tips are soft and comfortable, but feel thin and may be prone to wear and tear if handled roughly. The plastic housing is also lightweight, so dropping it could potentially cause damage. Additionally, the silicone interior can attract dust and lint, requiring periodic cleaning to maintain hygiene. FINAL VERDICT The Podstring Ear Plugs are a comfortable and effective solution for anyone seeking noise reduction rather than complete sound isolation. They are especially well-suited for sporting events, concerts, travel, or sleep, where reducing noise while maintaining awareness is important. While they cost more than disposable foam earplugs, their superior comfort, reusability, and balanced sound reduction justify the price and make them a solid value overall. Read more
