Howard Leight by Honeywell Laser Lite High Visibility Disposable Foam Earplugs, Pink/Yellow , 200-Pairs (LL-1) - 3301105

If you are looking for earplugs, then as far as I am concerned, the only question is: do you want them on a string, or no string?I have been through hundreds, maybe thousands of earplugs in my life. Everything from the rough yellow nerf cylinders to expensive reusable "audiophile" earplugs. The short version is, these are the ones to get. And don't be fooled by the CVS or Walgreen's look-alikes, you want the actual Howard Leight brand, especially at this price (cheaper than the knockoffs!) They are not made of the same material/construction!These earplugs have a super-soft, crinkly/squishy sort of texture that only this brand seems to get right. They compress down to practically nothing, then gradually fill up your ear-hole with a super-comfortable, super-thorough seal. The result is a VERY effective and consistent "turning down the volume" of the world. It neither makes you deaf, nor does it ruin your ability to hear a full spectrum of frequencies, which is important for musicians, and also for people who just need to hear and understand their co-workers in a noisy environment.If you're a musician, these make stage volume sound like the same material at club volume, instead of making loud volume sound like loud muffled bass and nothing else. If you're on a shooting range or a noisy job site, you'll still be able to hear and understand speech, it will just sound like the volume knob is turned down. If you are trying to sleep, your alarm clock will still cut through, these are just going to take the volume of traffic, road, and background noise down a few notches.Other earplugs, including other ones that look the same, are not as good. This specific brand is consistently:- The most comfortable- The easiest to insert and use- The best at reducing broadband sound levels- The best at not just muffling highs while letting deafening lows get through.If you ever use earplugs in your life, buy these. The only question is whether you want the ones with strings (for job sites and places where you need to take them in and out throughout the day) or stringless (for sleeping or appearance). Buy the Howard Leights and don't look back. You can spend more, but you won't get better.

As someone who likes to sleep in as close to pure silence as is possible, I am truly pleased with these specific earplugs. I've found them to be among the best in terms of noise cancellation, comfort, and general quality.Generally, I do not hear any of the various noises that would bother me, such as individuals being loud downstairs while talking or playing something from speakers. Yes, that is an issue I often have to deal with since everyone in this house has awkward sleeping schedules, generally different from each other. On that note, when I stay up too late and want to finally turn-in, these are great to help block out a barking dog or chirping bird that just won't stop.In terms of comfort, they're easily the least uncomfortable foam earplug I've tried. This may be a personal thing, but these sorts of plugs are always uncomfortable after being in long enough, so this is a bit of an awkward area to judge. That being said, it's usually never bad enough after an hour or two of use. In most cases, this is more than enough time to either get to sleep or have whatever noise it is you're trying to avoid expire.They stick in pretty well if you properly and deeply insert them. Can't say how big or small the size is relative to my ears, since I don't know if my inner ear is smaller or larger than average; all I can say is they do pretty well staying put. I don't think I've had any issues with them coming out after a night's rest. There's was one time where they were removed from my ears as I woke up, but given that they were in a neat pile on my side table, I'll assume I removed them in a half-awake state at some point.I appreciate how each set of plugs is individually wrapped, and I have noticed no weird smell or film on any of them I've used so far. I've re-used a set about three or four times, which leads me to believe they're fairly durable as they keep shape and effectiveness at least up to that point. This effectively triples the value of the product, which is a huge win for me.Finally, and most importantly, the aesthetics are legit. The strawberry lemonade color scheme is pretty radDon't think I can say much more than that. I've shopped around, trying various different earplugs, both foam and silicone, yet these are the ones that stand out. I'll likely keep stocked on these going forward, and if you require a massive reduction in any inconsiderate noise pollution, you should too.

These are my favorite foam earplugs. They are soft enough to be very comfortable yet maintain their expansion properties over multiple insertions. I use the them for days. Only discard when they get gross. I can easily sleep with these in. They really cut the noise. Can't ask for much more. Love 'em.

I trust these ear plugs since these are the only ones I’ve used that actually work effectively. They are cheap due to the quantity (upfront cost high, but long term very very cheap) but are very much worth the price. They’re far more durable, sound proofing, and easy to fit in the ear

For indoor range firearm shooting, these are great. I tried some cheaper ones here on amazon (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08273T5XC?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1) and they were not very good for shooting at all. When I A/B tested between those and these Howard Leights, the HL plugs seemed to block out AT LEAST 3-6 more dB. It was obvious as heck, and that matters when you're around firearms. On top of that, these plugs are way more comfortable. They're a lot softer and I find it impressive that while they feel much softer they provide more sound blockage, so cudos on the design/engineer team that developed these.Took off one star only because 5 is reserved for perfection, which would be absolute perfect comfort and even higher noise reduction.
