Title: Five Brand Comparison - These are #1
Review: Because my ears have very narrow ear canals, and one of them takes a 90 degree bend and goes straight up, I am particular about my ear plugs. Because I use earplugs for active motor sports, shooting, and chainsaw work in Hawaii, over the ear protection isn't always practical. I recently purchased 5 different brands of earplugs and put them to the test. Here's what I found, sorted for most to least favorite.Mack's Ultra Soft - My personal favorite, and at $0.17/pair, also the least expensive. They share the same small diameter of the Hearos Ultimate Softness, but are a bit more firm and a few millimeters longer. So, for me, they did a better job of subjective sound dampening, and were a bit easier to grip and pull back out. My tests are mostly in warm weather. In very cold weather, these could be too firm for some users. The Mack's and Hearos Ultimate Softness both shared the same smaller diameter.Hearos Ultimate Softness - These were the softest, most comfortable plugs I tested. At $0.18/pair they were the second cheapest, and also my second favorite. My daughter doesn't like earplugs, as they really bother her ears, but she was at least able to tolerate these. I think most people would be pretty happy with these, however, they were not my favorite for two reasons. First reason is that they seemed to stop slightly less high-pitched sound than the other plugs. All the plugs are rated at 33 db, but that's because that is all they are allowed to be rated. Subjectively, these were at the lower end of sound blocking, but still adequate for most tasks. My only other "complaint" is that these seemed to take the longest to spring back to shape and fill the ear because they are very soft, and they are somewhat shorter than the Macks. This makes them feel a bit like they might fall out for the first minute or two, and their 2-3 millimeter shorter length makes them every so slightly more difficult to grip and remove. Both minor complaints, and these are very good plugs.Hearos Xtreme Protection - As the name implies, subjectively, these blocked the most sound of all the ones I tested. They have the same larger diameter as the 3M plugs, but are easily twice as soft/half as firm. They gave a very full feeling to the ears, but were not uncomfortable. At $0.39/pair, they were the most expensive plugs tested. They were the most effective and were quite comfortable, but the Mack's were 95% as good, and less than half the cost. These went into my shooting kit and would be my third selection, for use when max protection for a shorter wear period is ideal.Flents Quiet Contour. These plugs have a bell shape. I did not find that the shape made any improvement to sound dampening. These were on par with the Mack's for noise suppression. The downside of the wide end is that there is more material in your outer ear, which could be uncomfortable for some, and also perhaps less aesthetically appealing. However, if you're in charge of safety compliance, that extra bit makes it much easier to visually see that someone is wearing hearing protection, and it did leave more to grip for removing the plugs. At $0.30/pair, these were the second most expensive, and I do not recommend.3M 1100 - These are what was issued to me for my 22 years of military service, and the benchmark from which I was judging. About the only positive thing I'll say about them is that they came individually packaged by pairs, so you can carry or store them in dirty or wet environment easily, but these were absolutely the least comfortable of the ones I tested. I paid $ 0.27/pair for them which puts them in the middle of the pack price wise. For me, they are much too firm, and also have the largest diameter of the group. In very cold weather, they would be nearly solid. They quickly made my ears sore/itchy. As much as I usually love 3M products, I do not recommend these.For those who care about such things, I tested these several ways. I wore each pair for about an hour just to get subjective feel for long term comfort. The exception was the 3M, which I could not leave in the entire hour because they were uncomfortable. Then to test for noise reduction, I put one brand in one ear and a different brand in the other ear and work for half an hour, then switch ears. During the test, I listened to speech, music, traffic noise, etc, and noted which plugs seemed to be most effective.

Title: Used Nightly
Review: Living with someone with severe sleep apnea who can’t use any of the C-paps, these ear plugs have saved my sanity at night. While they don’t completely block out all noise, they do the job very well with muffling the severe snoring enough to allow me to get sleep. It’s been a life changer so I can remain in the same bedroom as my husband, bringing peace of mind because I always worry what could happen if I’m not there should he go into distress at night. The ear plugs are comfortable and soft, so they don’t irritate or make the insides of my ears raw from nightly use every single day. The container gives you a lot of pairs for the money. They have been a great solution to a very real issue when nothing else worked before other than moving into another room at night, which was not ideal! And believe me, I tried them all from white noise to sleeping aid medications to other ear plugs. These cover the highest decibels I’ve been able to find and are finally the solution I was looking for.

Title: High quality, comfortable.
Review: Very good. Soft, not too tight, and blocks a lot of sound. I personally use them while sleeping, and I haven't had any issues with pain in my ear or whatnot yet, like I have with other earplugs.

Title: Soft, malleable and intuitive!
Review: I used these to help block out the sounds of my housemate ripping open and then slamming his wooden hollow core bedroom door, clomping up the wooden stairs on the other side of my bedroom wall to the front door, then opening and slamming the wooden solid core front door on his way to work. One efficient solution to this problem was talking to him, then the landlord, then the landlord asking him to leave more quietly and sometimes out the back door that was further away, but these earplugs greatly aided the transition period between habits. Shortly after I started complaining I also began wearing these earplugs and they helped me go from being woken up every weekday morning to having more restful sleep, and luckily they were no longer needed after that roommate moved. While I used them however, I noticed…Personal pros:-Soft and light yet thick enough to eliminate mid-higher frequency noises and dampen low frequency noises.-Their pliability made it easy to mold them into various shapes and fit them inside my ears, and the fit was well enough to last the entire night.-The soft color makes it easy to identify and clean off earwax, flakes, dirt and any other annoyances.-They are long enough that they never got stuck in my ear canal even while sleeping on my side, and their thicker bottom edges made them easy to remove.Personal cons:-They need to fit just right lest they fall out or work less effectively, which can be difficult and time consuming to learn. Once they are mastered however, I believe they are well worth the price and effort.Soft, effective, easy to clean and remove with a tradeoff of a slight learning curve to master, these earplugs are at least an easy 4/5!

Review: Tenho TDAH e toda forma de barulho me tira a atenção, mesmo medicado.Já experimentei diversas marcas e sem dúvidas a Macks é a melhor.A Macks possui uma variedade grande de protetores e confesso que esse foi o mais eficiente! Reduz muito o barulho do ambiente e facilita bastante a concentração.O ponto negativo dele em comparação com o verde (meu segundo preferido), é justamente a durabilidade.O verde consigo utilizar mais vezes antes que ele comece a ficar ineficiente, porém esse veda melhor do que o verde.Minha dica é comprar logo o pote grande (50 pares) pra ter tampão pro ano inteiro (considerando o uso de um par por semana).

Review: These are great, when i roll them up to stick in my ears they don't instantly puff up like cheaper earplugs, which gives me more time to get them into my ears. They block out my downstairs neighbours bass-y hard stomping(the guy stomps so loud it shakes my pill bottles)completely and they also block out the noise from vehicles on the busy road next to my house, these did cause my ears a bit of discomfort after a week of wearing every night but i have very narrow ear canals(i used to get water stuck in my ears when i went swimming as a kid), these plugs ARE very comfortable and soft but i should have gotten Mack's smaller earplugs. If you have normal ears or are just gonna wear them for short durations it'll be fine. They are way better than the earplugs i bought from Shoppers drug mart and way cheaper too. They are well made and come in a nice flip top container. They are very soft and squish down very very small so it's easier to get them into my ears and they stay squished down for longer than the Shoppers earplugs which gives me more time to get them into my ears. Mack's makes a wide variety of different earplugs and i feel like you can't go wrong with these if you have normal sized ear canals, i don't, but i should've bought Mack's smaller plugs instead but that was my fault and i won't take stars off for something that i did.TLDR: These are great and they block out all the sounds that wake a light sleeper like me while i sleep. They are cheaper and better than the Shoppers drug mart earplugs too.

Review: I am super sensitive to light and sound, so need to eliminate everything that disturbs my sleep!I have tried many many ear plugs made of different material, trust me even the most expensive stuff made of Titanium by Flare, but these Mack's are THE BEST, super comfy and most effective in blocking the sound for all size of ear canals...have given a pair to most of my friends and they're all super happy with them;)

Review: Der Wahnsinn!! Habe einen ultra-starken Schnarcher als Partner, der seinen "Schlafrüssel" (CPAP-Gerät) nicht immer trägt u vor allem auch nicht mit in Urlaub nimmt. Diese Stöpsel sind jeden Cent wert!! Ich höre gar kein oder nur ein seeehr leises schnarchen. Habe schon einige Stöpsel ausprobiert, die hier sind mit Abstand die besten!! Tun auch nicht weh.Anwendung:Zwischen den Fingerspitzen rollen, in den Gehörgang einführen, Fingerspitze leicht drauf u bissel warten bis es sich aufgeplustert hat - fertig.Tipp: mit der rechten Hand über den Kopf zum linken Ohr greifen u etwas nach oben ziehen, dann lässt sich der Stöpsel besser positionieren.
