Mack's Ultra Soft Foam Earplugs, 50 Pair - 33dB Highest NRR | Made in USA

I bought these when we had some very noisy neighbors move in next door (loud conversations, doors slamming, dogs barking, loud music playing, etc.), and I kept getting woken up by the noise early in the morning. The first couple times I used these ear plugs, I wasn't impressed, but I kept working with them, and now I'm so thankful I have them. When they are sitting in the right spot in the ears, they work very well and block out just the right of amount of noise without keeping you from hearing absolutely everything (I like that I can still hear my alarm clock when it rings, for instance). After some experimenting, here are some tips I've found that help me when I'm using them: 1. I have small ear canals, and I find I have to roll these to a fairly thin point so that I can slide them into my ears easily. Sometimes, I find it easier to roll the plug back and forth against my palm with a couple fingers. That seems to work better for me than just using my thumb and forefinger. 2. Once the ear plugs are in place after rolling them, expect to hear some crackling as the foam expands to fill the ear canal. Also, don't expect the ear plug to block sound until that foam has expanded completely and the ear canal is closed off. This can take maybe a half a minute or a so. 3. To test if both ear plugs are in place, after the foam has expanded in both ears and the crackling has completely stopped, try speaking or making a humming noise. If your own voice sounds a little like you're underwater, it's a good sign. As another check, I usually snap my fingers a couple times. If I feel the vibrations from the snap more than I hear the actual noise, then I know I'm good to go. If I still hear the snapping sound, then I know at least one of the plugs isn't sitting in quite the right place. 4. For me personally, I've found that these work best when they are just deep enough to fill the entrance to the ear canal. Any deeper that that and, for me, they cause a faint ear ache, so work with them a little until you find what is most comfortable for you and what will work best for your own needs. If you accidentally press them in a little too far, I've found you can very carefully pull them out a bit until they're more comfortable, though you do have to be careful not to overdo that and pull them out too much. 5. I don't know if this would be the case for everyone, but I've found that these ear plugs can shift a little if I go from sitting up to laying down, or from laying down to sitting up/standing up, presumably because my ear canals themselves shift a little with the movement. Sometimes, the ear plugs are in a good spot when I'm laying down, but then I sit up, and suddenly, they aren't blocking as much sound any more. The opposite is also true. I'm good when I'm sitting up, but then I lay down, and suddenly, the ear plugs aren't blocking sound the same way, and I have to readjust them. So, that's just something I've learned to watch for when I'm putting them in right before I go to sleep, or if I have to get up for a few minutes before heading back to bed.

These are nice and soft, the perfect radius, and the right length. Performance is amazing. They compress evenly and then fill out at a good pace (not too slowly). They feel so good in the ear and don't add the usual pressure of most foamies. They block noise better and more evenly than any other earplug I have ever tried, no matter the type. The length is just right. I had to pull one out with the tweezers this morning, and I would rather do that than use a long boy who will jam into my head on the pillow. I am in love. Grab some.

No idea why so many reviewers are upset with the rebound performance (too slow to rebound). If you want fast rebound (literally in less than 5 seconds), go with the typical orange 3M versions. Though I'm not sure why you would want to; considering how much pressure they put on your ears and how rough they are in general in terms of texture compared to these. These are proper soft as advertised and great for sleeping if the size is to your needs. Some people also complain about these being short... This is also, another good thing, because if you don't a long earplug that goes and tickles your ear drum. Now you might say "don't shove it in all the way", but if the earplug is too long, you can't leave it dangling out of your war whilst you sleep. Why? Because now it's pushing against your ear due to the pillow pressing on the extra-long length that you didn't put far deep enough. Idk, people who review these have to be genuinely out of their minds with the low review scores. Another thing, the way I see some people single finger rolling these in video is disgusting. Firstly clean your greasy hands, you don't want hand residues chilling in your ear canals. Second, roll with your palms slowly, don't press too hard and slowly rotate and compress it gradually. Finally, you if you do the pinch method (also works), don't pinch like you're trying to pierce a hardcandy between your fingers, no wonder the stuff takes so long to rebound when you compress it THAT hard. These are great, I bought the 50 pair just to see if they're any good because the reviews are spelling doom and gloom. I hate wearing things in my ears, and couldn't imaging sleeping with them, but once properly placed, these do the sound deadening work, and they also don't feel like a ton of pressure is in your ear. Lastly, on hygiene, sorry to tell you folks, but these are one time use disposable for the most part, you do not want to get an ear infection using these over and over (touching it with wash hands and fingers re-inserting them back into your ear). If you're at a desk and not doing anything laborious, and aren't sleeping with them. Then you can use them one or two more times IF AND ONLY IF you have dry ear canals like I do (some people have naturally flowy wax, whilst others have hard, dry, and almost rock-like wax that comes out in chunks). If you have flowy-wax, or you're using these during laborious sweat-inducing work. These are strictly one-time use disposables. To address the final sort of negative review about "changing the quality". It's tough, but this isn't something companies get much choice in, unless they're also the plastics chemical company and also the refinery for the raw materials.. Nearly every company on the planet is beholden to supply chains that vanish overnight because some supplier is either done with the business, or done with giving you the price when you first signed a contract. The complaints about enshitification are real, but if the product performs to spec, then this isn't something a consumer can influence a company to do anything about when they have to use another supplier using a slightly different formula. So please, wake up, and understand your earplugs you bought 10 years ago, having a different shade and rebound behavior slightly different to the current is to be expected in the trash world we find ourselves in today. Lastly, understand this isn't anything you can do about it, as companies don't really have a choice. Either vertically integrate and own their own oil fields and extraction of raw materials and do everything from the top down as owners throughout the entire production, or they're beholden like everyone else to a few select suppliers of some of this stuff. Earplugs ain't going to make billions for one company folks, so temper expectations.

These are amazing I use them because my roommates snore they do slip out if you turn in your sleep but they get the job done if you need to tune out a bit of noise. You can reuse as well but they get dirty especially if you’re ears aren’t clean regularly

I have been using these while mowing fields on a small tractor and I think they are great, they pull off all the harsh noise of the diesel engine and rotating machinery. They are also great in the shop running saws and such. I found them very effective for sleeping also, however (at least for me) they can sometimes feel a bit over-inflated after hours of sleep.. I just mean that the pressure in my ear sometimes wakes me up, but sound rarely does. However they always stay in place for me. The only other brand I can directly compare these with are the orange HDX ones from the big orange box store we have in the U.S... you know the one... Anyhow, these in my specific case are superior to the HDX in sound suppression and fit. They stay in place better than the orange ones, and are definitely quieter.

Never put in earplugs before, these are easy to put in and not as unnerving as you might think. They expand but aren't as hard feeling as others. You don't have to mash them in as far as you think, just don't let them hang halfway out your ears. Definitely noise cancels as it says on the tin.

My husband is a landscaper and he has had trouble with earplugs not staying, not blocking the sound, being too hard in texture, and even causing himbissues with his ears drying out... I tried numerous brands and types of earplugs and now we have been buying these for the past year. They are perfect. They are soft, block out the sound like they state, my husband doesn't suffer from the dryness and itchiness. The price is great and he can use a new pair daily with no issues of it getting expensive. I would highly recommend these.

En general, un buen producto pero esperaba un poco más en base a los comentarios que leí antes de comprarlo. No cancela por completo el ruido pero si lo disminuye un poco

I highly recommend this for sleeping. I'm working shift hours as a firefighter. After many years in the service, I’ve developed sensitivity to sounds. Probably because during night duty, we have to be alert even during our short naps. These earplugs solve the problem when I want to sleep at home during the day after my night duty. Not only it is very soft and comfy, but it also blocks surroundings sound very well. I'm a side sleeper and I can hardly feel any uncomfortable effects from these earplugs.

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.

Çok yüksek bir ücret verdim Amerika'dan geldi ama bu kadar yüksek ücret karşılığında beklentileri karşılayamıyor ne yazık ki bir daha almam

Soft, comfortable and easy to use, and most importantly blocks out so much noise.
