Some of the best earplugs I have ever tried!
Background:I have recently moved to a new apartment which is quite noisy, and I have been trying some brands of earplugs to get better sleep.The good:These are amazing at noise reduction, I can barely hear anything at all, which has improved my sleep so much. Besides, these are quite comfortable to me, not sticky or painful to wear, and they are soft enough to be a good fit for most people. Seriously, they work great. And they are quire budget friendly as well, with 50 per jar.The meh:Maybe the color if you plan to wear them outside.The bad:Nothing at all, they are pretty much perfect for me!

Five Brand Comparison - These are #1
Because my ears have very narrow ear canals, and one of them takes a 90 degree bend and goes straight up, I am particular about my ear plugs. Because I use earplugs for active motor sports, shooting, and chainsaw work in Hawaii, over the ear protection isn't always practical. I recently purchased 5 different brands of earplugs and put them to the test. Here's what I found, sorted for most to least favorite.Mack's Ultra Soft - My personal favorite, and at $0.17/pair, also the least expensive. They share the same small diameter of the Hearos Ultimate Softness, but are a bit more firm and a few millimeters longer. So, for me, they did a better job of subjective sound dampening, and were a bit easier to grip and pull back out. My tests are mostly in warm weather. In very cold weather, these could be too firm for some users. The Mack's and Hearos Ultimate Softness both shared the same smaller diameter.Hearos Ultimate Softness - These were the softest, most comfortable plugs I tested. At $0.18/pair they were the second cheapest, and also my second favorite. My daughter doesn't like earplugs, as they really bother her ears, but she was at least able to tolerate these. I think most people would be pretty happy with these, however, they were not my favorite for two reasons. First reason is that they seemed to stop slightly less high-pitched sound than the other plugs. All the plugs are rated at 33 db, but that's because that is all they are allowed to be rated. Subjectively, these were at the lower end of sound blocking, but still adequate for most tasks. My only other "complaint" is that these seemed to take the longest to spring back to shape and fill the ear because they are very soft, and they are somewhat shorter than the Macks. This makes them feel a bit like they might fall out for the first minute or two, and their 2-3 millimeter shorter length makes them every so slightly more difficult to grip and remove. Both minor complaints, and these are very good plugs.Hearos Xtreme Protection - As the name implies, subjectively, these blocked the most sound of all the ones I tested. They have the same larger diameter as the 3M plugs, but are easily twice as soft/half as firm. They gave a very full feeling to the ears, but were not uncomfortable. At $0.39/pair, they were the most expensive plugs tested. They were the most effective and were quite comfortable, but the Mack's were 95% as good, and less than half the cost. These went into my shooting kit and would be my third selection, for use when max protection for a shorter wear period is ideal.Flents Quiet Contour. These plugs have a bell shape. I did not find that the shape made any improvement to sound dampening. These were on par with the Mack's for noise suppression. The downside of the wide end is that there is more material in your outer ear, which could be uncomfortable for some, and also perhaps less aesthetically appealing. However, if you're in charge of safety compliance, that extra bit makes it much easier to visually see that someone is wearing hearing protection, and it did leave more to grip for removing the plugs. At $0.30/pair, these were the second most expensive, and I do not recommend.3M 1100 - These are what was issued to me for my 22 years of military service, and the benchmark from which I was judging. About the only positive thing I'll say about them is that they came individually packaged by pairs, so you can carry or store them in dirty or wet environment easily, but these were absolutely the least comfortable of the ones I tested. I paid $ 0.27/pair for them which puts them in the middle of the pack price wise. For me, they are much too firm, and also have the largest diameter of the group. In very cold weather, they would be nearly solid. They quickly made my ears sore/itchy. As much as I usually love 3M products, I do not recommend these.For those who care about such things, I tested these several ways. I wore each pair for about an hour just to get subjective feel for long term comfort. The exception was the 3M, which I could not leave in the entire hour because they were uncomfortable. Then to test for noise reduction, I put one brand in one ear and a different brand in the other ear and work for half an hour, then switch ears. During the test, I listened to speech, music, traffic noise, etc, and noted which plugs seemed to be most effective.

Great hearing suppression and comfort!
Best earplugs I've found! Perfect for stuff around the house like mowing and using power tools, but also comfy enough to wear all day at work. You can usually only get a few uses before they lose thier sponginess and don't fit as well, but still well worth the money. Hearing is irreplaceable!

Best brand of earplugs
Every time I’ve tried another brand of earplugs to save money I regret it. These are the most comfortable I’ve found. They easily mold to the size you need and are great quality. I don’t have trouble with these falling out or hurting my ears like a lot of the ones I’ve tried (which is saying something considering I use them every night). They block enough noise that I can fall asleep through loud snoring but don’t block it out entirely. My only wish is that it came with a larger quantity for the price.

Amazing!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5)Mack’s Ultra Soft Foam Earplugs are hands down some of the best earplugs I’ve used. As someone who’s a light sleeper and also travels frequently, I’ve tried a lot of different options—and these consistently come out on top.Comfort:The “ultra soft” label isn’t just marketing—these are incredibly comfortable, even for extended wear. They compress easily and expand slowly for a snug fit without creating pressure in the ear. I can sleep with them in all night with zero discomfort.Noise Reduction:With a Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) of 33 decibels, they’re extremely effective at blocking out everything from snoring to loud neighbors to airplane engines. They don’t completely eliminate sound, but they significantly reduce it, which is exactly what I want—especially for sleep or focus.Fit:They’re slightly tapered, which makes them easy to insert and remove. They stay put well throughout the night and don’t fall out, unlike some other brands I’ve tried.Durability:While they’re technically disposable, I’ve found that a single pair can last a few nights if kept clean and dry. For hygiene and performance, though, I wouldn’t recommend using them too long.Value:You can get them in bulk for a very reasonable price, and the quality is consistently high across the pack. For the peace and quiet they bring, they’re worth every penny.Bottom Line:If you need reliable, comfortable, and effective earplugs—whether for sleep, travel, or work—Mack’s Ultra Soft are an excellent choice. Highly recommended.
