60 Pairs Ear Plugs for Sleeping Noise Cancelling - 33 dB Highest NRR Soft Foam Earplugs - Ear Protection Earbuds for Sleep, Snore, Concerts, Musician, Shooting, Travel, Study, Adults - Orange

If tried a lot of earplugs, and these are just the best. They are super light, and therefore not annoying, and they block as much or more noise than any other earplug I've tried. And you know what? Having sixty pair is actually really nice!

I have to start this review with a disclaimer of sorts. I feel very strongly that how an individual rates ear plugs depends completely on how well those particular plugs fit that person's ear canals. This can make finding plugs that work for you frustrating, for sure. My review is based on how these plugs fit MY ears, which effects their comfort and how well they block noise for ME.So before I say anything else, let me describe my ear canals so you can judge how similar my fit would be to yours. They are kind of short and curve, one more than the other. Finding ear plugs that give me a good solid seal is not easy. I find that the contoured shorter plugs work the best for me, and it is important that they not expand too quickly because it can be hard for me to get just the right angle when inserting them.These plugs are a little longer (only a fraction of an inch) and are not contoured. They do stay compressed a good long time. The instructions recommend you wait a full 45 seconds for them to fully expand. I'd say that's pretty accurate. They are very soft, but that tiny bit of extra length becomes pretty annoying at some point during the night for me, a side sleeper. I've pulled them out a few times before morning because they got uncomfortable.While they do a pretty decent job of noise cancellation the first night, maybe two, they don't last any longer than that. They become increasingly more difficult to get properly placed into my ears, seem to stiffen up, and hurt more. Even the first night, they don't block all noise, but a lot of it. They are better than others I have tried, for sure.Bottom line is that for me and my particular ears they do an okay job for a day or two, but they are not as comfortable or durable as my contoured and better fitting plugs. I switch back and forth depending on the day and how much noise I expect around my neighborhood. So ultimately this product is good, but not great, and still a bargain for me.

Amazing!! Really blocks out noise. These are the best ones I have used.

I'm a 46 year old female who has worn earplugs to sleep since I was 16 years old. I know how to put them in. These plugs will not stay in my ear at all. I can't tell if the reduce noise because they don't fit.

They do keep noise control

I ordered these plugs because I go through may hearing protection in a short period due to all the loud jobs that I do and find that these block an amazing amount of sound. The plugs are comfortable to the point where even my 6 year old daughter will wear them without complaining and the color makes them easy to see when you drop them or when they are stored along with other things.

I'm torn on these. They do the job, and the noise reduction was quite good. The price is middling, you can get the big name brand safety earplugs for less per pair (usually individually packaged, even). Some brands are more expensive.NRR is quite high at 33dB. I have no method of verifying that accuracy, but these did great in proximity to an impact wrench inserting and removing lag screws and bolts from rusty steel beams. There is a tiny vent hole in the tips of the plugs, which I like since I had an ear condition that causes my ear to readily build up viscous gunk, and proper ventilation helps reduce that buildup.Because of my ear condition, one of my ear canals is larger than the other, and flanged ends make removal easier for me, but these also are not very thick and weren't particularly firmly in place in my larger ear canal. Mercifully I'm deaf in that ear, so the plugs are mostly for show, but I do want to protect what's left of my body hardware. The classic barrel shape of the big brand earplugs fit my larger canal much more reliably.Additionally, they're not kidding about the slow expansion. They really do take longer to expand, which is helpful if you're likely to fumble with them while inserting, but can be frustrating if you're used to popping these suckers in right as you need them. It's only a few seconds, so it's not huge, but it is an adjustment.I do like that instead of a ton of plastic waste, these are packaged bulk with a carry clamshell. But I also like the cardboard packing of the big brand classic earplugs.In all, these work and I'm happy to have them. I wouldn't buy them for communal work use since there's no individual protection from dirty hands, but for me and my household and my small project team they're good. No one else in my group has my specific issues and everyone else was perfectly happy with them.

I have been using earplugs for sleeping for over 20 years. I actually have a hard time now sleeping without them. When I bought these earplugs, I bought them using the Amazon app on my phone. So from looking at the pictures, it looked like these were a decent size plugs that would provide a lot of protection.After receiving these last night, I pretty much knew that theses were not going to work for me. They are really narrow and probably only good for people with small ear canals. I tried them anyway and I was not happy. They are overall too narrow for me and I ended up pushing them in farther to get the seal. In the middle of the night one of my ears was actually in pain and I still feel that I had an issue (though I would not say it is pain at this point). In over 20 plus years using earplugs, that has never happened before last night.Pretty much junk for me and a waste of time and money. I am considering returning them, but not thrilled with the idea that they might just end up with another person minus two plugs I used last night.

When I was young (starting at age 19) I worked in a paper mill and had to wear ear protection. The type they gave us were those 3M yellow plugs. I never liked those ones, they were pretty small, and I was always concerned about putting them in too far. BUT the plugs were effective and provided good ear protection on the job.Maybe 20 years later I found myself renting an apartment where my landlord would stay up all night and roll a ball across his floor for his cat to chase. Unfortunately his floor was my roof, a very thinly insulated roof and I found myself needing to use earplugs to sleep. Again, I used the yellow ones. Same issue.They blocked sound well, but I occasionally found myself having to use tweezers to remove them because they would go in a bit far.I now have a psychotic neighbor with a vendetta which police and by-law won't reign in and she blares insanely loud music at my family and the one next to her on the other side - terrorizing us and the old woman's poor dog. She goes so far as to switch shifts at the local hospital she works at, just so she can be home in the MORNING so she can wake us up. As someone working at a hospital she knows well the negative impacts of sleep denial.The 95 year old woman on the other side of her is nearly deaf, but the noise effects her dog and me in particular when I try to sleep as my room is close to the blaring music.Our tormentor used to put the music on on a loud blaster at her side door and aim it at the old woman living next to her on the other side, aimed right at her door. She would put it on then go to work or go places all day. That one got rained on and she got a louder one, which she uses from her shed, where it's protected from the rain which ruined her other one. She does not listen to the music. It is intended as abuse, and is. I'm not talking about young people having a party once in a while. It's daily and intentional abuse.She does not blare the music from inside her house as one might expect in typcial cases, she has a loud boom box with bass boost and does so from a shed in her back yard wired for power and she puts the speakers on a bench in the doorway of the shed, aimed at us and turned up to 100 decibels and louder a lot of time.The noise is quite loud in our house, especially the room I sleep in.So I bought these earplugs in anticipation of her annual summer weaponized 94 FM radio music war on us. She uses a local radio station which plays loud rock music in her attacks because if she simply put on a CD or tape it would end. Keep in mind she used to put it on, then go to work for the day etc… So she wanted the music to be on continuously. Makes a person wonder if hospital staff are trained in the art of torture to behave like this.Our torture is endless. Nothing can/will be done by police or municipal by-law enforcement officers.As a result I hoped to get ahead of her this summer by purchasing these earplugs. I liked the shape of them and the idea that the end bit would keep them from going in too far.Unfortunately due to summer arriving this year by March 11th, she has started up months earlier than usual.So I've found myself needing to use earplugs sooner and will need to use them more often.Over years of use I have learned when earplugs are being effective. I can tell the level of background sound that can be heard when they work proper and I have little tests I use. One is a fan going for background noise. While audible it should be muted and faint, only the lower end of the sound spectrum should be faintly audible. What I will sometimes do as a test is to snap a finger about a foot away from each ear. If I hear it faint and muted the plugs are doing their job and will block out sound effectively. If the snap is crisp - the plugs are useless.One time when I used the yellow 3M ones while living at my old apartment when my landlord was doing work on the apartment installing drywall. A lot of loud hammering etc... I slept right though it without being woken up. Never heard any of it. I only noticed what was going on because when hammering against my bathroom wall, things in the cabinet fell into my sink.I wish these plugs were that good. If put in well they can effectively mute and block sound well enough for me to sleep through her musical attacks. Problem is getting these things into your ears.I find that they begin expanding way too soon. Even if I had 3 hands I'd have trouble with them. One hand to roll them for insertion, one to put them in, and a third hand to hold the ear up or down. I've found that when I have gotten them in, it takes me 90 minutes or longer of repeatedly trying to do so to get them in and well enough to acutally mute sound.As I type this I have them in and can very clearly hear myself typing. I had been in bed trying to sleep with them and got so mad about the issues with them that I got out of bed at 7 am to write this product review. That speaks volumes about the issues with them. I'm losing more sleep due to product frustration than because of the neighbor making noise.Comparing these plugs to plugs that do work right, I have noticed that the width of them when expanded is narrower that the 3M ones I used previously. That is an obvious design flaw because it prevents them expanding enough to effectively block out and mute sound.I mean, if you fancy laying in bed with your fingers in both ears as you sleep (impossible to do) to hold them in better they might be good for you, but most people can't do so, and we tend to expect a product to live up to it's claims.I find the rebound on them is ultra fast. Fully expanded or nearly so, long before I can get them in my ears. Right now I have the one in my left ear well enough to mute some sound. No luck with the right ear one.In the diagram on here they show 10s, 20s, 30s & 40s as expansion levels. While they will shrink down to the 10s when you roll them before inserting them, they only actually expand to the 30s level - as in that diagram shown on here, while in your ears. Let them sit out and before you try inserting them they may be expanded to the illustrated 40s level.The diagram with the one nicely in the woman's ear - you will never get one in like that unless you have a doctor come to your home every morning or night to insert the plugs for you. Even then it's doubtful you will get that sort of insertion with these plugs. If you could they would likely work good. So far my experience with these plugs is they are more annoying than the neighbor causing the need for such things is.This morning I began trying to insert these proper at 6 am, it is going on 8 am now and they are still not in good enough to help mute sound well enough for me to help. I can still clearly hear many things and they miserably fail my fingersnapping test. Odds are I will have to order some of those yellow ones and pull them out with tweezers if need be. I have given these things ample opportunity to work properly and merit a good review before giving up on them. Out of all attempts only once did I get them in well enough to work. And again, should a person have to work so hard and waste hours of their life trying to get a pair of earplugs in well enough to work?Save yourself some grief. Buy any other type. They don't expand enough to close the ear canals effectively and they don't go in far enough. They are too narrow by design to do so. And they begin expanding as soon as you start to roll them and before you get them in.
