HEAROS Ultimate Softness Foam Earplugs, 32dB NRR Ear Plugs, 100 Pairs, Soft Ear Plugs Noise Reduction for Hearing Protection, Sleeping, Snoring, Working, Shooting,

Doesn't cause ear pain , though I wear them for as much as six hours in a day. Fairly efficient in blocking noise. I walk around comfortably in the apron with helicopters started up around.

These were great when I had a warehouse job - the conveyor belts were around 85 dB, which is harmful when it's for 8-12 hours/day, and these were more than sufficient to drop that noise to a safe level. Earplugs also work better against really low pitch sounds than the rest, so I could crank up my music, hear it at a normal volume, and basically not hear the belts at all unless they jammed - very useful for staying sane during a very tedious job.They're also good if you're stuck in an apartment that's waaaaaaay too close to a high-traffic road. They'll dampen the traffic noise enough to sleep, and they're soft enough to keep them in that long without any major issues.You can of course get more powerful earplugs, and if what you need protection from is a shorter burst of much louder noise (jackhammers, dynamite, gunfire, that sort of thing), these are the wrong plug for those cases, as softness doesn't really matter for short-term use, and you want the highest dB reduction rating you can find when the noise level is going to be that high, with muffs as well... but for most things you'd use an earplug for, these work great.

I used to be a huge fan of Hearos, but after recieving this purchase several months ago, I was doubting that it was even a genuine HEAROS shipment. The resealable bag that contained them didnt look or feel authentic and the roughly half of the 200 pcs were permanently deformed or poorly moulded. Definitely not like earlier orders I recieved of them. Disappointing.

It's a good thing that ears cannot smell, because these things are funky. Regardless, these are the best earplugs I've ever used. I've been using Mack's Ultra Soft for a long - long time ... they were the only adult size foam plugs that I could use nightly for sleeping. Most others either came out over night, cause irritation the next day, or woke me with a headache. Anyway, sorry Mack ... this here is where it's at.I just got them today and have been wearing them for about only an hour; so, we're in that honeymoon phase. But, oh what a feeling. Mildly snug, velvety smooth, easy to roll, slow to expand, and just plain old noise dampening. Just try not to sniff and maybe, just maybe, I might put a ring on it.Seriously though, I'm an old machinist who loves his powered tools (pneumatics especially). Double hearing protection is second nature for me. I don't need OSHA to tell me how to protect my hearing; but, the ANSI NRR specs, I need to know. Hearos doesn't try to pull a slight of hand by hiding the effective frequency range. The attenuation chart breakdown is right in your face, with font that's nearly the same size as that of the instructions. North American made. (Ahem, Mexico w/USA components, ahuh?) Anyway satisfies my reasonable expection of some quality and consistency.

I’ve been using these for years to sleep, and while they have always been comfortable and worked well, the appearance of the ear plugs has changed at times. The last few boxes I’ve bought have been excellent quality and are perfect. Whatever they are doing with them now the quality is great. I see they’re made in Mexico. Excellent job, thank you!!!

I use these for sleep. Extremely light sleeper. We adopted a foster baby who is a screamer and pretty much the loudest child all the time anyway. When my husband is on toddler duty, I can wear these and hear almost NOTHING, ie, small house, her making LOUD noises right through our door or wall. They block out snoring well too. I bought a box twosish years ago and finally made it through them and noticed on my latest batch they are different material—not as soft—more shiny, and not quite as comfortable—the old ones I could wear an entire night without sore ears. However they are still comfortable and I can notice that they work even better so who knows. Either way, still the best out there, no question.
