I use these when going to concerts, playing bass on stage at my church, or during hunting/rifle sighting. They do a sufficient job at reducing how loud all of these are.They're sort of a one size fits all kind of thing, although my left ear canal is a bit different than my right one, and the one in it pops out a lot easier than the one in my right ear, sometimes even unintentionally. I've had no trouble removing them after use either, so that's always a good thing.Considering that this is a bulk pack I feel this is a good value versus paying for one set that you may misplace, if your memory is anything like mine, it's bound to happen.They do a good job as far as earplugs go.

These are decent earplugs. They do diminish loud noise (music, firearms,etc) well and I haveused a couple pairs now and they seem to be more of a "one use" type situation. First use is solid, good fit, etc. Second use, perhaps through washing, or just excessive use, the seal is not as tight and more noise is evident. I don't mind so much as there are quite a few in the box (100) and I did open a new pair and was able to tell the sound decrease with the second (new) pair accordingly.Pros:- Very comfortable earplugs- Diminishes sound without mufflingCons:- Questionable re-usability

These are some great ear plugs for firearms. They come individually packaged which keeps them clean until use and the package is resealable so once finished the plugs can be placed back into the package and used again. The string is soft and comfortable and actually much more substantial than I would have expected. The hearing protection worked well while shooting a handgun. I am very happy and would absolutely get these again... which is made very easy with the QR code on each package! This is a great product.

You get 100 pairs and each pair is individually wrapped. Corded which makes them easier to keep track of and not lose one. They are washable so can be reused many times. Felt comfortable in my ear and did block out noise. With this many you can hand them out to you Friends at any event where there is a high volume of noise. Work well.

Did not know what to expect with these. But Dam... The most effective and comfortable plugs ive tried yet.I use them for noise blocking when i sleep. In the past ive used similar style silicone cone ones, but they fit way better. They also are better then the cheap foam ones ive used.Added bonus of the cord on each, no more losing a plug in the bedsheets in the morning.

The listing wasn't at all clear on this, so it was a welcome surprise to find that each pair was sealed in it's own sturdy reusable, reclosable pouch.The cord is a loosely woven braid, claims to be cotton, which I doubt, and which I don't like as much as a tightly woven cord. But either is much better than the plastic strings some have, so that's okay.The plugs themselves seem nice, though they didn't work well for me.That's more about me and my ears, though, than about the earplugs.I've only found silicone plugs that fit me well once, and I regret not knowing what brand they were.But I'll stick with the old pvc foam cylinders, which work really well for me, but can't be reused much.I'm still happy to have these though, good for guests and family.

Ok, here is the deal. I snore! Ok, I admitted it! These really help my S.O. so that she isn't grouchy in the morning. She can finally get some rest! These are great as they easily form in your ear canal and block out my heavy, duty snoring! I use them when I'm cutting grass or doing lawn work due to the ear fatigue of the motors roaring while cutting and trimming the yard and bushes. This is a great item. If you snore and your S.O. can't sleep, they will love it!

These are flexible flange-style earplugs so are more likely to fit a wider range of people than other types. Efficacy depends highly on proper use. I find the best way to insert these is to use your non-inserting hand to pull your outer ear up, allowing the plug to enter more linearly.Noise reduction rating seems accurate but that is under optimal conditions and in usage. Due to that, under OSHA rules it is divided in half. The goal is reduce sound below known harmful levels. While we know what is definitely harmful, mechanical wear and tear below those levels will eventually degrade hearing, much like age does on its own. So even a 12dB reduction can help in the long run.Attenuation across the spectrum is not equal. There are earplugs for music that try to attenuate more evenly. So for concert use may not be the best. But if you're near the speakers protecting your hearing is more important.They are corded, which helps keep them together and less likely to lose. It's secured by a piece of tape which when removed frayed the material a bit. It's a loose weave, and soft, reasonably comfortable.Silicone is washable and reusable so it can function as a good giveaway at an event, or to be a good buddy to your friends. Each one is individually packaged in a pressure-zipped bag. There's a QR code on the bag that goes to the website signup form. I was expecting product-specific instructions. I didn't feel like signing up to find out what exactly it leads to.
