3 out of 5 stars Good, but not the best   November 13, 2009

From a review of three earplugs, these came in third:

1st place: Hearos Ultimate Softness, 20-Pair Foam (Pack of 2)
2nd place: Quiet Time Comfort Foam Ear Plugs - 50 Pair
3rd place: Hearos Xtreme Protection, 14-Pair Foam (Pack of 3)
(they're basically ranked in decreasing softness, since all three block out sounds well)

You might take a look at my review for the winners:
Hearos Ultimate Softness, 20-Pair Foam (Pack of 2)

The following were excluded as they did not fare well in the following review:

Flents Quiet! Please Noise Reducing Ear Plugs - 50 Pair - NRR 29

and Howard Leight Max-1 Ear Plugs, Uncorded, NRR33, 200 PR / box

w w w . s l a t e . c o m / i d / 2 1 1 8 8 0 0 /

or read the first review found in google with the search term: best ear plugs

Pros: Blocked out sound well, but not better than the others
Cons: Was the least comfortable of the three because they exerted the most pressure on my ear canals.
Caveat: I have small ear canals.

Note: These are rated 33dB



5 out of 5 stars They work for me   September 24, 2009

I sleep with a heavy snorer. I mean, blow-you-outta-the-water snoring. I tried numerous other ear plugs, and they all worked a bit, but never enough to allow me to sleep in peace. These work. You must follow directions, though, and insert them properly. But once they are in place, it's off to slumberland. Thank you, Hearos!


5 out of 5 stars Worked precisely as I expected...   September 3, 2009

I bought these as a freshman coming into college to block out the horrid noises I was told I would hear in my dorm. The main reason I chose these specifically was because they had the greatest noise dampening rating and, as reviews claimed, were comfortable -- both of these claims are correct.

The Hearos fit comfortably in the ear and don't bother me when sleeping or performing daily activities, and they block out sound quite well. I could still barely make out the sound of voices outside my dorm room (if someone was shouting or just being really loud), but under normal circumstances, they made a world of difference.

Don't let the product picture fool you; you get three packs of 14 pairs, so there are plenty of them, and they are reusable, though I wouldn't wear the same pair for a month or anything. I'll definitely buy these again when I run out.

Comfortable and effective. If the noise is coming from outside the room than these are 100% effective (from within the room 80%). They work like a miracle (if inserted properly). Insertion is easy after practicing a few times (seeing the insertion technique video on Hearos website helped). You can keep them on all day long or sleep with them without experiencing any discomfort. Will recommend buying with the Hearos plastic case the first time so that the buds don't get dirty. You can use a pair for at least a week.

I would pay a dollar for a pair, that tells you how much of a difference they have made to my life.

P.S. Note: I researched for hours on the internet reading reviews, these are the best ear plugs available out there at the moment.



4 out of 5 stars Motorcycle Riding   August 19, 2009

I use these when riding my motorcycle. They block out my loud GSXR exhaust very well, but I can still a lot of higher frequencies. The amount of noise they block out doesn't seem any more than my old silicon ones, but these are much easier to put in, and reuse.
