A favorable plug for my favorite plugs
I usually purchase Howard Leight earplugs at a local CVS store, but they had disappeared from the chain (though they've since returned), and all other local drugstore chains.
I've tried many different brands of earplugs over the years, and found none either as effective at blocking noise, or as physically comfortable, as Howard Leight, and I wasn't about to waste my money on an inferior brand.
The only problem buyng online is that the best deals are on boxes of 200 pairs, which is far more than I expect to need. Still, at about $16.00 for those 200 pr. (excluding shipping; I tpyically spent $2.99 for only FIVE pairs at CVS), the per-pair cost is a tiny fraction of what I spent before and, because each pair in the 200-count box is individually sealed, they should last nearly forever.
No earplug is perfect; few noises are eliminated entirely, but most are reduced significantly. If you have noise problems (traffic, loud neighbors, air-traffic, rock concerts etc.), you can't get a more effective earplug than Howard Leight. Rating:

Barking Dogs Now Barely Audible!
I live next door to people who keep two German Shepherd dogs in their backyard. The fact that these dogs bark loudly has resulted in many sleepless nights and much frustration for me. I realized that I needed a VERY effective pair of ear plugs. I tried several types of foam plugs and even purchased some of the expensive beeswax type, but found that none of them would mute the barking enough to allow me to sleep peacefully. I then purchased the Howard Leight Max-1 disposable ear plugs and couldn't believe what I WASN'T hearing. These little plugs really do the trick! When coupled with the electronic air filtration unit that provides ambient white noise in my bedroom, the faint sound of the barking dogs no longer keeps me awake! The only drawback to these plugs that I have experienced in the short time that I have owned them is that they cause minor discomfort in my ear canals after wearing them for several hours. Hopefully, this will subside after wearing them for several weeks. The plugs insert easily into the ear and form a perfect seal, however. These plugs are a bright pinkish-orange color which the manufacturer describes as coral. If you really need to BLOCK OUT sound, don't waste your money on other expensive types of ear plugs . . . try this amazing product. You won't be disappointed! Rating:

Top performance
Best earplugs made! These earplugs fit comfortably in the ears and do not cause pain after long periods of wearing them. I use these when I fly, they block out the jet noise really well, definitely better than the cheap earplugs they hand to passengers. Also great for a silent ride on commuter trains or subways.
I also use these to create a "silent space" when in public, if I need instant quiet, this is the best way achieve it. Great for people who like to study at coffeeshops, student unions, and other places where noise levels can vary from silent to rowdy. I also strongly recommend this for people who are easily distracted by ambient noise during exams or quizzes. I have a focusing problem, these definitely help in blocking out the sounds of other students' paper shuffling, chair shifting, etc, during exams.
Also, color is BRIGHT TRAFFIC CONE ORANGE! Not coral. Rating:

Best ear plugs around
These are the most comfortable ear plugs available. I always travel with ear plugs to ensure a good night's sleep, but I got these at a B&B recently and found them so soft and comfortable that I had to get a supply. I think their softness and composition block out sound more efficiently than other brands. Rating:

They look pink in the picture
This seems to be a great product at a great price. I think the picture needs to more accurately reflect that they are orange! Two monitors at my house show pink, and when I bought them, the description didn't say coral. Otherwise, fast delivery and great item. |
