I struggle from being a light sleeper. Any slight noise and I'm awaken. I thus have tried to find good ear plugs that keep out any type of noise. For years, I have used the cylindrical style silicone plugs and have generally been very satisfied with them yet some are better than others. My latest pair has probably lasted me 10 years so I was due for a replacement. I first bought an expensive[ $28] brand that had rubber tips. They were comfortable at night but hardly blocked out any noise. I thus returned them and bought these silicone one's. I was sold on them after the first night. Very comfortable and they blocked out noise great. I'd have to pull one out just to have a conversation with my wife who was a couple feet from me. They seem very durable and I suspect that a pair will last several years. They come 6 pairs to a package so I'm likely set for a long time. They are washable and come in a plastic case. I highly recommend these plugs. Great value for the money. Read more
This is the only earplugs I use as they are the only ones that drown out my husband’s snoring, which can be heard in other rooms in the house so it’s that loud. They are comfortable and most effective compared to other earplugs. Read more
Pretty good! Seals off sound well. It's pretty good (but still not great) for smaller ear canals. The only complaint is that the pair "on a string" is not actually attached to the string. You just get a string you can attach to the earplugs, biit it comes out easily so you can lose them as easily as any other pair Read more
I'm a light sleeper, a stomach sleeper currently sleeping in the middle of a high-traffic living room for a while. Doors are opened and closed, coffee is being made, and so on. These ear plugs definitely fit my needs best. I tried moldable silicone ear plugs, a normal and a firm, higher sound reduction foam earplugs, and these ear plugs. The moldable silicone ear plugs were the most comfortable, but the sound reduction was not ideal, even when the product was listed as 32nrr. The normal firm earplug was rated about 32nrr and did an ok job at canceling noise, but only ok. I sleep with one ear to the pillow, so the foam earplug would come undone while sleeping. Additionally, they were only decently comfortable. The extra firm earplug was supposedly rated for 35nrr, which is quite high, but potentially factual given how firm they were. These were the most uncomfortable. They cancelled noise quite well, but the noise cancellation was nearly identical to what these ear plugs offer. These ear plugs are excellent at canceling noise. The three layer design is somewhat similar to how shooting range ear plugs work, so maybe that's in part why they work so effectively. They let me sleep while doors are being opened/closed, glasses are clinking around, etc. (That being said, there's no substitute for asking people to be quiet while you're sleeping.) They're quite comfortable, and even though the thin stem sticks out a little bit from my ears, they never come loose. They're also easy to keep clean - just easily wipe off any ear wax on the tip when you take them out. I bought multiple ear plugs so you don't have to - get these. Read more
These ear plugs do help reduce noise. My husband snores, and they definitely take the edge off so it’s much quieter and easier to fall asleep. They’re soft and block a good amount of sound. However, I’m a side sleeper and petite, that’s where they became uncomfortable for me. The length of the plugs makes them stick out a bit, and when I’m laying on my side they press into my ear. I found myself waking up more often because they were poking or causing pressure. They do work for noise reduction, but if you primarily sleep on your side, the length may make them uncomfortable for overnight use. Read more
I have to sleep with loud traffic noise outside my residence and also need efficient and comfortable noise canceling earplugs for long overnight flights when I travel. I had previously used the Hearheed earplugs and liked them for their almost total noise cancellation, also the lanyard connecting the plugs and the little travel canister they came in. Alas they are currently unavailable. I took a chance on the Anbow earplugs and could not have been more pleasantly surprised. They are comfortable, easy to insert, and most importantly either cancel or greatly muffle all external noise. In the configuration I'm reviewing you receive two sets of reusable silicon earplugs in small plastic housings, and a third set of earplugs connected by a plastic lanyard in a slightly larger housing. All this with a nylon travel pouch. My only preference would have been for all three sets to be connected by a lanyard. However, the advantage to the unconnected sets is they're smaller and easier to carry around. These silicon earplugs REALLY work well, are very comfortable, and easy to insert and remove. One advantage over every other set of earplugs I've tried is that the stem on the Anbow earplugs is soft and flexible. It's sturdy enough to let you insert and remove the earplugs, but also flexible enough it doesn't bother you if you sleep on your side. Other earplugs I've used, including the Hearheed had a stiffer stem and when sleeping on my side they sometimes became uncomfortable as they drove the earplugs further into my ears when the side of my head was laying on the pillow. Also, the Anbow earplugs are half the price of the Hearheed model and give you three sets instead of one! I recently used and reused the Anbow earplugs both at home and on a 10 hour flight recently and slept through all the noise from a neighbor's dog barking loudly outside my bedroom window to crying babies a row behind me on the plane. Effective, efficient silicon earplugs, great packaging, great price. Best reusable earplugs I’ve tried! Read more
