Howard Leight MAX-1 Foam Ear Plugs Uncorded, 20 Piece by Howard Leight

I have been using these earplugs for years and loved them. However, since they changed the packaging I have a feeling that they have also changed manufacturers as these "rebranded" earplugs are nowhere near as good at blocking out noise. The actual earplug lacks the density it once had and they now don't expand properly in your ear and block. I am so disappointed as these were the best earplugs out there until now. I still have some of the old style ones left and I can easily tell the difference between these ones and the new ones. So annoying! why do companies think they can change things and no one will notice?!

Best ear plugs ever. I sleep through noise housemates stomping around, next doors dog at 6 am in the garden barking absolutely everything and the bin men are simply determined you wake up when they arrive. Best night sleeps :) sadly I did sleep through my alarm this morning though! Not too fussed haha.

I have tried every earplug ever made. Unfortunately I can hear a dog barking a mile away, so sleeping is an issue. Of every earplug I have tried THESE work the best - what that means IS, they work the BEST - BUT I still can hear, albeit much reduced. If I have one small niggle they are 5mm too long. I scrunch them up (roll them between my fingers) and poke them in as far as they will go so that the 'flange' is in contact with my ear to cut out as much noise as possible. I can feel a discomfort where they have gone in so deep - so 'don't stick them in so deep' I hear you say - well it is the flange sealing against the ear that shuts out a little more noise. I have actually trimmed some down but it leaves a messy edge - so to the makers please make them available in TWO lengths or 3 even.Basically, these are made of 'memory foam' and after rolling them up and poking them into your lughole they expand to fill the void and they don't fall out. They do the best job an earplug can do. Until something better appears on the market I will give these 5 stars everyday.

They were as described and useful for the purpose, although I wish each pair of ear plugs would last longer in a de than single or double use, so I can spread out their uses for longer, but their longevity has been included in the product description,

These are the best sound blocking earplugs I have tried. We have a neighbour who enjoys letting dogs bark all night. After months of been woken at 2 in morning I ordered these and now have pleasent sleep. You can still hear some sounds but they will muffle noise enough to let you sleep.

I struggle to sleep over my partners snoring and used earplugs before that looked like these, that worked brilliantly, so ordered these, hoping they were the same. Sadly they weren't. My review is just how they work for me and I know I must have strange ears, because even ones that people are saying are brilliant, dont work for me. The foam just doesn't sit right in my ears, however much I contort to fit them and they're always mishapen when they come out. They barely mask the noise and leave my ears sore. As I say though, others might find them amazing !!

The market is awash with cheap earplug products and these are one of the best I've found. Lightweight, flexible and comfortable. Once they have flexed out and moulded to you ear they do a great noise reduction job.Good for sleeping in which is what I bought them for.

Used once, then discarded the whole pack. In my opinion, these are best suited for industrial applications, such as a building site. They were not comfortable enough to wear indoors and certainly not for sleeping with. The colour is more day-glo than pink - again a useful feature for industrial use to show they are being worn - but a bit embarrassing outdoors!
