EarPlugs for Sleeping Noise Cancelling Reusable Silicone Ear Plugs Noise Reduction Earbuds for Travel Concerts Deep Focus Hearing

My fave so far of all the washable amazon earplugs. small enough to wear under big ANC "cans" which I have to do because of all the sirens in my area. They are very small and if you needed them to be could be called discreet. Someone said they were concerned they were so small they would get stuck in your ear canal, this does not seem possible to me. Read more

I tried to like this pair of ear plugs designed for sleep, and while they do block out a good amount of sound, there are a few things worth mentioning. First off, they are effective at muffling noise, making them great for light sleepers or those who need to block out background sounds like snoring or traffic. However, there is a major drawback. These ear plugs are not comfortable if you sleep on your side. The shape of the tips, which are straight rather than round, creates pressure on the ears when lying on your side, and it can be painful after a while. If you’re someone who typically sleeps on your back, these ear plugs might work fine for you, but for side sleepers, they may not be the best option. I wish the tips were round, as that would make them more comfortable for different sleeping positions. Overall, while they’re good for noise reduction, they do come with some discomfort if you like to sleep in various positions. Read more

These ear plugs, with a plain but useful storage case and multiple silicone tip size options, are comfortable and fairly discreet. The slight curve allows them to be shifted down in a way that they're not obviously sticking out, which is also helpful for trying to use them for sleeping. Sleeping with earplugs, particularly any rigid reusable style, can sometimes be uncomfortable when laying on one ear or the other. I can shift these down into the crease of my ear where they don't create an uncomfortable pressure point though. I've had others that were good at this as well, but were then VERY difficult to remove unless they were very carefully positioned to make sure the removal tab was accessible. I have no problem like that with these. The silicone tips are easy for me to get good leverage to both rotate back out and grasp for quick removal, no panic or tweezers required. I've had other "passive" reusable plugs that have an opening to let sound in which is then attenuated by baffles and chambers. This helps for things like concerts or conversation since it reduces decibel level without overly muffling the sounds that I want to hear. These do have a "sound chamber", though I'm not sure they do as good a job at reducing the sound without distorting it. That's a trade off between reduction and distortion though, and at a claimed 40dB these seem to be opting more towards reduction. I'll have to get a chance for a side by side comparison though. Speaking of 40dB reduction, that's a pretty significant claim. Plain foam plugs are typically only 32dB, so this would be a considerable step up. I don't notice that much reduction when just using them watching a video or listening to music in my living room though. It is possible the "sound chamber" is just doing a good job of attenuation, but I'll have to try them in a higher noise environment to decide whether that full 40dB claim is inflated or not.

Part of me wants to give these a better rating but there is one fact that won't let me. There is nothing to prevent them from going in too far and with a hard plastic core, these feel dangerous to sleep in. Otherwise here is the rest of the review. They are better than foam earbuds for music listening, but they still muffle the sound some. There are better acoustic earplugs out there for about the same price. The earbud tip style design is interesting and allows for customizable fit, but the distance you have to push them in to prevent the silicone from protruding out your ear is too far for me to feel comfortable. To not have the edge of the tip dig in to the wall of my ear canal, I have to size up one higher than I would normally use. There also doesn't appear to be a difference between the xs and s sized tips. It's an interesting idea, but execution is just off. I plan on keeping the case and the tips and throwing out the rest.

These are more discreet earplugs, but they do not work as well as expected for me. I tried all four sizes to be sure I was using the right one (it is easy to change sizes by twisting on the new cover). It does dampen the sound, but maybe in the 16-20dB range. It hardly made a difference at a loud basketball game. The second to smallest size fit comfortably for my kid, but it is so small I'm afraid she will push it too far in. Similarly, I would be afraid it would push farther in and will not try sleeping in them. Read more

I was looking for some nice ear plugs like this and I am definitely satisfied with them compared to many others out there. Being so lightweight you hardly notice wearing them while working or reading, which is what I got them for. So, on a normal day they're very comfortable even over longer time wearing them. The design is somewhat counter-intuitive when it comes to sleeping with them. I don't quite understand why somebody who make the design like this. The noise reduction is very nice and I can't say anything bad in that regard. Given the exchangeable parts you get, you will easily find the right fit for your ears. And they even look pretty sleek and the case is not just convenient but looks minimalist and modern. The price is at the right level all things considered, which gives it the last piece to the puzzle to make this a 5-star product for me. It might not be 5 stars for people who want them for sleeping, as some other reviewers have pointed out. So, keep that in mind. Read more
