Ultimate Softness Series Noise Cancelling Disposable Foam Earplugs NRR 32 Hearing Protection (20 Pair)

To start off, I first purchased Mack's Ear Seals back in 1/2011 and thought they were pretty good. Until I figured out that there has to be better ones than that. I found Hearo's and read all of the reviews I can on them. To me, the 5db difference from Mack's to Hearo's is a huge difference. Mack's Ear Seals Earplugs 1 pair Mack's are rated at 27db but you can't sleep with them. After a couple hours of use, my ear canals start to hurt a little. Overall they're okay. I would say it's more for an air seal like for swimming. Noise-Cancellation, after using Hearo's; haha - yeah right. I guess it is a little bit better than wearing my Altec Lansing noise-isolating earbuds. Just without the annoying noise that is made from the cord rubbing against anything it touches. But once I got these delivered today 3/7/2011 and tried them out; wow. At the time I was listening to music and had the subwoofer bumping as usual. My sub is 200watt RMS putting out 400 max power. It delivers the bump, as a bass-aholic anyone could agree to that. Normal listening volume but since my room is small in my apartment and the walls are drywall thin; the bass travels down three floors and down the hall 10 rooms over. Oh well, college what can I say. I plugged these into my ears and all I could hear is a very faint thump. Couldn't hear the vocals at all and the bass just sounded like my heartbeat. When you wear earplugs you can hear your heartbeat; it was that level of subtle thumping. 100% noise-cancellation? Not really, but it was definitely 90%. I couldn't hear mine and my suite mates bathroom door rattle, couldn't hear the windows rattle; just a subtle thump. No where close to a boom when I took out the earplugs. I was just in shock with my mouth open, it was as if I was deaf; which I can't imagine what it would be like. However, to describe the noise-cancellation that is what it seemed like. I just couldn't hear anything. I wore them in the library while studying and I was just blown away compared to Mack's Ear Seals; and I thought Mack's were good. Just like my room test, I just couldn't hear anything. The only thing I heard was dead space from my ears; not sure how to explain it. It wasn't white noise, just no sound at all. It's just the sound of complete quietness, of nothing; as oxymoron'ish as it sounds, that's how it was. Now. They are NOT 100% noise-cancellation. While sitting in the library there were still "some" things I could hear. The things I could and couldn't hear. I couldn't hear: - sound of flipping a page - writing with a pencil (that swish swish sound when you write) - unzipping my hoodie - when I farted - from a distance the people that were talking - noise from people walking by I could hear: - the kid talking on his phone momentarily on the other side of the cubicle desk. It was audible but it was definitely muted about 75%. Then again he was talking pretty loud and had the phone volume loud too so you could hear the other person talking (on the other end). - from a distance, someone dropped their book. I definitely heard it, but again it was muted. This was a pretty faint sound. Not like when the kid was talking. - when I dropped my coffee cup into the metal garbage bin and it went clunk. Again, muted. In the end, I mean the soft sounds will definitely be canceled out. However, the louder noises will definitely be very muted and just "almost" there when it could be considered noise canceled out. What I really got these for is to sleep and study with. My neighbor likes to slam his door shut. Knowing the cheap very thin drywall-like walls, you definitely wake up to it. Waking up in the middle of the night being startled because your neighbor is narcoleptic, and he's walking in and out of the room at 4am; definitely pisses me off. Wouldn't you be? I'm a pretty light sleeper, so anything can potentially wake me up. Unless I am completely knocked out in a deep sleep. Tonight will definitely be the test to see if I wake up or not from the crashing sound of a door. I tested my phone alarm which is pretty annoyingly loud and I could hear it with the plugs in. So the waking-up-portion with my cell phone and alarm clock shouldn't be a problem; I don't think. Also, you might be thinking; how come I couldn't hear the music in my room test but could hear the kid talking on the phone. To be honest, I'm not exactly sure myself. The music and bass just canceled out. Physics.. What can I say, nothing. If this was Finance I would know. What I'm telling you is the truth though. I could hear the kid talking on the phone and the music was canceled out with the bass just a thump. One last thing, to put these in; you need to roll them with your fingers so it gets squished. Stick it as far as you can into your ear canal. The important part is to HOLD your finger there until it expands and fills your ear canal. It's a pretty interesting feeling because your hearing slowly mutes out then it's completely gone and can't hear anything. All in all. The $10 was well spent. Plus, 20 pairs?! I'm pretty sure this will last me a year. I highly doubt I will even get to the second pack. My .02, my recommendation, definitely buy it. Period.

The best ear plugs out there. It forms to your ear. I have been using it for years. I’ve gotten used them and not sure if I can sleep without them. Blocks out all environmental noises

I am so fed up with garbage products that I decided to write a review to give credit where credit is due. By far these are the best ear plugs out there. No 1 they are comfortable. No 2 they keep the noise out completely. No 3 they are easy to put in and take out of your ear. Yes I started out thinking I’ll try the cheapest one and if it work, they work. Well they did not work and by now I have invested more money then I’d like but such is life. No 1 - Comfortable I have been using ear plugs for over a year and have tried all 4 major brands and models, starting with the CVS brand, Mack’s, Flents Quiet Time and Hearos. I have a hard time sleeping, am one of those guys who can’t sleep if I hear anything in the background from a ticking clock, my wife breathing to the passing train. I tried them all and the “Hearos Ultimate Softness Series Foam Earplugs” are the only ones that actually do not hurt my ears. I don’t know about other Hearos models. You’d think that even after I been using earplugs for sleeping for over a year now, that your ears would adjust and get used to it. It’s not true, especially if you’re using it for sleeping, where any physical irritant will wake you up not to mention throbbing pain after a few hours. Sure your ears can get used to something if you have it in for work 3 – 4 hours, while you’re awake, and distracted with the task at hand, but if you have it in all night that’s a different story. These are the only ear plugs that do not hurt my ears, what so ever, no matter how long I have them in. For that alone I love them! No 2 - They keep the noise out completely. I start work at 4:30am every day and desperately try to take naps in the car whenever possible. Unfortunately next door there is some sort of industrial metal manufacturing plant where the stupid train doesn't just come through, but stops, to drop of some sort of huge metal supplies. Any way the point is, when that industrial cargo train come through especially through that intersection and then stops next door it blows its horn about a million times, and what seems like forever, "GOD... ALRIGHT ALREADY, YOUR HERE WE GET IT!!!". By far is probably one of the loudest thing on the planet that i've experienced. This product works, I STILL sleep like a baby. Love it! And I am the one who stays awake because of ticking clock. No 3 - They are easy to put in and take out of your ear. It doesn't take much effort at all to roll them in to shape and put in the ear. They are not too long and not fat/big like the “Mack's Ear Care Ultra Soft Foam Earplugs”, but most importantly they do not quickly expand in your hand like the “Flents Quiet Time Soft Comfort Ear Plugs” before you can insert it in your ear. P.S. The “Flents Quiet Time Soft Comfort Ear Plugs” are awesome too in all the important things except they are hard to put in the ear and sometimes/rarely do hurt my ears, rarely though. Oh, almost forgot they don’t come in the flesh tone color ether, which is awesome when I use them at work. Let’s just say sometimes I leave them in after my car nap and use them in my cubical too. Hope this review wasn't a waist of my time and helps someone out there. P.S. Sorry about the spelling and grammar, English is not my first language.

The best earplugs ever...skin colored and really soft...great for long duration without any discomfort...really nice...

Weich weich weich

Texture douce, oui, la mousse est nettement plus molle que les autres bouchons du même genre, oui, par contre elle reste quand même d'une conception encore nettement trop dense ce qui rend l'usage quotidien trop douloureux et la garantie de se réveiller la nuit à cause de la pression qu'ils exercent dans le conduit auditif et inconfort la journée suivante, au bout de trois nuits impossible de les remettre et ils sont un peu trop long pour dormir confortablement sur le côté. Au final il n'y a que les EAR classiques jaunes qui fassent l'affaire sur le long terme, on ne change pas une équipe qui gagne...

après de très nombreux essai de toutes marques se sont les seules que je supporte.

Uso tappi per le orecchie per dormire da circa 20 anni. Questi sono tra i migliori per isolamento e soprattutto per durata. Solitamente un paio di normali tappi dopo un po si smolla, questi durano a molto a lungo
