Great product
These earplugs form to your ear and block out noise really well. I would definitely repurchase.

Good at muffling sounds
I like how they feel, but if you push them too far in, you feel uncomfortable pressure. Granted, that’s a user issue, not the product itself. Pretty good at muffling sound, but I definitely could still hear things. Overall though, I was pretty satisfied.

Not a year supply
I purchased the med-large size so only use 1 plug for both ears. 1 plug torn in half is still too much for both ears. To warm the plugs up before using them i tuck them (in small case) in my armpit or between legs for few mins. Take them out roll each in to ball and gently push them over ear canal. I can wear 1 set 4 nights before the tacky is gone. I tried to clean them with warm water didn't work. These are my 1st brand to try and are more stiff and heavy than want will continue looking.

More purple than other leading brands
It's really a six-week supply. The earplugs are smaller than others, and aside from being purple, they're not any different. The packaging is unnecessarily elaborate.

Love these💚
Love these silicone earplugs. They are quite big? So I take 1 and break it in half and that’s plenty big for both ears. They come with really nice case.

This is REAL SCAM: SHAME ON YOU Soundbloc
This company/seller/ maker should be ashamed to sell a product like that and making false statements and advertise it as “ THE MOST COMPLETE EARPLUGS”. This little piece of rubber doesn’t serve at all: not soft to be shaped as desire, doesn’t cancel noise, can’t sleep with them as they are too big for the ear and keep sliding out of the ear. The Becheln Earplugs that i bought on Amazon before are good. This is just a nice presentation for a rubbish product!!!

Comfortable but not for snoring
These were really comfortable, once I got the hang of molding them and fitting them correctly. However, no matter how I tried, they only blocked the smallest amount of noise, and did absolutely nothing to block out my boyfriend's (admittedly powerful) snoring. I'll keep these around as I may find them useful for air travel or some point when I need to be free of distractions, but they don't work at all for what I needed them for, so won't be buying again.

Love these! Wish I had found them sooner!
These are comfortable, clean, and feel a lot more hygienic than other similar brands of ear plugs that are similar or made of a waxy material.

Works Great Once You Figure It Out
Here's me writing the review I wish someone else had written when I was getting into the world of silicone plugs. If you've tried this style and found it frustrating, don't give up yet. You just need some pointers and you'll probably end up liking these way more than the kind you have to put into your ear canals.My problem is a snoring husband. My first defense is running an essential oil blend (equal parts thyme and eucalyptus) ALL NIGHT in my electronic diffuser. If you don't love the strong menthol aroma, throw in some lavender to make it more pleasant. When my hubs isn't sick, this blend can actually SILENCE his snoring. No joke. It opens up the nasal passages, which stops him from automatically switching to mouth breathing while he's asleep. So that's great when it works. But any kind of sinus congestion prevents that system from fully working, and that's when I need ear plugs.Now I'm a very petite boned 40 year old adult who still fits into teen clothes. So my ears are small, and I also have very sensitive skin which is very itch prone. I also like things to be clean and I loathe stickiness, which makes me think of dirty condiment containers at a fast food diner. But for these kinds of plugs to work, they have to be sticky, because they are trying to adhere to your skin. So if you're like me, you'll have to fight the urge to give these a thorough cleaning. If you clean too much, they lose their stickiness and become useless.The next key thing to understand is that though we turn to ear plugs longing for QUIET, effective plugs actually make your head LOUDER because they amplify the sound of your breathing, heartbeat, etc. Your own breathing basically acts as white noise that helps you tune out other sounds in your environment. So it's ironic, but we're really just changing what kind of noise we're listening to. Totally blocking out all noise is IMPOSSIBLE, so you have to let that dream go.What these and any other effective plugs will do is move annoying sounds to the BACKGROUND. They will NOT eliminate those sounds. At the same time, they will introduce a new white noise (your own breathing) that will help your mind further tune out the background noises. It works great for sleeping, but you need to have realistic expectations of what "success" will look and feel like.As for pressure in the ear canals, it's unavoidable. To really cause the effects I just described, the plugs must form an AIR TIGHT seal over your canal. This inevitably causes an increase in air pressure within your canals. Too much pressure can be relieved by breaking the seal, but then you'll have to create a new seal which will cause some pressure to return. The goal is to form the seal with minimal pressure. If you apply more pressure to an already tight seal, you will cause the internal canal pressure to greatly increase (think of trying to squeeze a new, unopened can of soda). Once the seal is in place, you don't want to press down on it anymore.As far as cleanliness goes, the whole sticky thing is always going to feel a bit dirty. The stickiness of this material will also cause all kinds of dust, pillow lint, hair, etc to adhere to the plugs. But take heart, because you can do a daily wash. Plop the plugs into a small plastic container. Add water and ONE squirt of soap (too much soap can erode the stickiness). Pop on the lid, shake vigorously. Then dump out the water, rinse off the plugs and let them air dry till night. This method will keep them sticky yet lint free which will help you feel less worried about infections.Anything less than an airtight seal will make you feel like these plugs aren't doing anything. But this isn't because these aren't quality plugs; it's because you don't have them on right. It took me a lot of time and frustration to figure out how to use these right, but I've finally got it and it is totally worth it.Now the first big thing to grasp (which every reviewer should be talking about) is TEMPERATURE. You must warm these up to your own body temp before they will do anything. I'm pretty sure that most of the complaints written about the plugs "just falling off" or not muffling enough sound are due to people not warming them enough. I had this problem for a long time. I usually reach for my plugs in a dark bedroom when I'm half asleep and frustrated, so patience is not abundant. When they didn't quickly stick and seal, I got very exasperated until I finally figured out that I wasn't taking enough time to warm them. The theory that a few quick rolls between your palms will do is a joke. The temperature of your room is a huge issue. If your environment is already cold, the plugs will take a lot longer to warm up. If your hands are cold, it will take longer. So don't give up on these just because they take a while to warm up. Instead, think of ways that you could speed up that process, like placing them between your knees under warm blankets or holding them in your fist for awhile. You need to warm before you start rolling, and since rolling allows for a lot of airflow, rolling will slow down the warming process. Your better off pressing them to warm them up until they get nice and soft, then roll them into a ball and press that ball directly over the top of your ear canal. It will naturally push down a bit into your canal, but nothing like standard ear plugs that go all the way in.Because stickiness is vital to the seal and no one wants ear infections, your ear does need to be clean and dry at the time you put these on. Excessive ear wax causes itchiness in your canals which will drive you crazy at night and make your plugs feel really dirty. For an awesome ear cleanser, buy some Hydrogen Peroxide. You can get it everywhere in the US, but here in the UK, I've only found it online (Amazon has some). Hydrogen Peroxide is a clear antiseptic liquid which is a fantastic PAINLESS first aid wound cleansing solution. It's often promoted as a nice oral cleanser (dilute 50/50 with water) but in my opinion, its greatest asset is its ability to safely and rapidly dissolve ear wax. You simply put some on a cotton swab or pour it straight into your ear canal (while tilting your head to one side so it won't just run out). You'll hear a crackling sound and feel like little bubbles are tickling your canal walls as it gently dissolves the wax. In cases of ear blockage, when you go to the doctor to get your ears power flushed, they use hydrogen peroxide. It's a great way to quickly clean your ears and stop irritation due to excessive wax build up. Why it's not sold everywhere is beyond me. I've used it my whole life and it's amazing. I always do a quick swab of hydrogen peroxide after a shower and before bed to prevent maddening itching from wax or soap residue. I think it's an especially good habit to get into when you're reusing earplugs just to ward off any potential infections.Now the goal is to seal off the opening of your canal. Covering more of your ear beyond that is excessive. Don't be afraid to pinch off some of the plug material to shrink it down in size. A smaller plug will be easier to work with than a mass that is larger than you need. For me, I can break one plug into equal halves. Using a whole plug is too much for me: it's harder to warm and harder to position. Plus, remember the pressure issue: a big mound of material sticking out from the side of your head will get smashed down by your pillow and cause the air pressure in your ear canals to spike painfully as soon as you put your head down (remember the image of squeezing that unopened can of soda or fizzy juice). Also, you can roll your pinched off bits together to form another plug, thus postponing when you have to buy a new set. You'll want to buy a new set when the plugs lose their stickiness or start to crumble apart. When either of these problems start, chuck that pair and start a new one.Just use one pair at a time, and keep that pair in a separate case. This company is very classy in that they provide you with a nice plastic case for your pair in current use. If you're not going to wash your plugs daily, it's vital to keep them in a case or they'll get debris/dust stuck to them very fast. One reviewer suggested being consistent about which plug you put in your left vs. right ear. For that you'd need two cases. I haven't gone there yet, but you might want to try it.To test the tightness of my seals, I mash my warmed plugs into position, trying to flatten them out so my pillow doesn't shove them further in. I then rub my finger tips together quickly right next to that ear, which produces a very soft sound. If I can hear it, I know the plugs are not in properly. When the seal is air tight, I can no longer hear the soft sound of my finger tips rubbing together close by.To minimize frustration, you could put one plug in place before you go to sleep. My hubs and I read a while in bed before we sleep, so putting both plugs in early doesn't work for me or I can't hear him talk. Unlike plugs that are simply trying to minimize sound a little bit, these plugs do a great job of muffling. But you should still be able to hear your alarm clock blaring (unless you have a soft one, but what would be the point of a soft alarm?). These plugs will move loud noises to the background, while cutting out soft sounds entirely.Now there are tons of these plugs available. This company definitely does a fabulous job of presentation by providing you with two classy, durable cases: one large cardboard one for your new plugs, and a small plastic one for your plugs in use. They also make their material black, instead of the usual clear, which prevents yellowing and helps those of us who struggle with the "dirty" feeling of sticky blobs attached to the sides of our heads. But once you understand the principles I've explained, you could theoretically make any style of these plugs work. I would imagine that some plugs warm faster than others, and that would definitely be worth paying extra for. I feel these black ones definitely outperformed some cheaper clear ones I recently bought which were like little rocks.I hope this review helps someone get a better night's sleep.

The best for a good night sleep
I've tried a few earplugs and they all really hurt my ears and don't really cancel much noise. These were way softer and didn't hurt as much, and the noise cancelling was great from my hubby's loud snoring. The only thing that is an issue is that my hair gets stuck on these during the night, and sometimes the pressure builds in my ears and I have to adjust them a little. All-in-all I'm still happy with these.

The best shut out the snoring plugs.
Very good these, sleeping better too. Seem to stifle the wife's snoring and very comfortable to the ear. The best ones yet.

Good, but serious doubts over hygiene.
Will start by saying the highly malleable nature of these ear plugs does mean it's pretty easy to achieve a reasonably comfortable fit. That said, having also used foam ear plugs, I personally find the foam ones much more comfortable for sleep.These definitely block most sound out so they do work. However, while it says they're washable, the very fact they're malleable and so have no default shape leaves you with the challenge of trying to wash what is essentially a very fancy lump of blu-tac. How you're supposed to do that thoroughly/properly is beyond me. At least the foam ones return to their original shape so you can make sure the whole surface is properly cleaned, unlike these.Gave 'em a try but will go back to my tried/tested foam versions!

Best Night Sleep in a Very Long Time
Decided to try these after trying a cheaper pair from a brand with an unpronounceable name. I can say with 100 percent certainty that these are light years ahead in terms of quality, comfort and noise cancellation.I used them for the first time last night. They blocked out all noise. I have neighbours with a rather annoying barking dog and who also start work in the very early hours of the morning - add car, van and front doors slamming as well as loud mobile calls (they seem to like to have their company team briefings on the drive at around 4am), it does not make for a peaceful night’s sleep.The first important thing to do is make sure that you warm the ear plugs your hands first to bring them up to body temperature. This makes them squidgy and mouldable so that they mould to the shape of your ear canal. You can then press them into your ear and they mould to the unique shape of your ear - and this unique seal creates blissful silence! Because you can mould them flat within your ear, there’s no annoying lumps or bits sticking out which makes them perfect for side sleepers in terms of comfort.When you take them out they are easy to clean and there’s a little case included for you to store the current pair that you’re using.I have a smart watch with sleep monitoring and after using these, it reported the highest sleep score I’ve had in ages with much longer periods of deep, restorative sleep. I wasn’t tired or groggy at all. When you first take them out after using, literally everything seems really loud and annoying! Including the husband’s breathing!One thing worth noting is that these are so good at blocking out noise disturbance that if you have an audio alarm, you may very well sleep through it unless it’s very loud. I use the vibration alarm on my watch which works well with these ear plugs.The packaging is top quality and instructions with sleep guide are great. I deducted a star for comfort only because my hair sticks to them whilst using as a side sleeper. However this isn’t a big deal and they don’t leave any residue. The only other thing that would be a slight improvement would be to have the storage box for the in-use pair to be a little bit bigger.Overall a fantastic product that I would highly recommend.
