Mack'sBlackout Soft Foam Earplugs, 7 Pair with Travel Case - 32 dB Highest NRR, Comfortable Ear Plugs for Concerts, Jam Sessions, Nightclubs, Loud Events and Shooting Sports

I'm 42 years old but I still like going to concerts. These earplugs are the perfect balance of functional (good sound blocking) and form (nice and discreet so I'm not exposing what an old man I am). And the carrying case is a nice bonus.

I can’t find a better earplug for riding than the good ole foamies. They are comfortable enough to wear for long periods of time. They don’t mute out my helmet speakers too bad, but do a great job at blocking out the wind noise. They don’t fall out when putting my helmet on or off. They function and fit better than any silicone plug I’ve tried. They are a single piece so I don’t have a fear of getting an ear piece stuck in my ear canal like some of those two piece silicone plugs. For the price, It’s been a hard press to find a better ear plug.

The good- They definitely block out most noise, including my awful neighbor and his motorcycle that he just has to ride ten feet from my headboard at the crack of dawn. They're easy to use and not too uncomfortable to wear.The bad- Having to use them to sleep every night has caused my ears to be very sore. Maybe the size is too big? Idk. The ones labeled for smaller ears don't really provide the same noise relief.

These are better than other ear plugs that I have. They are longer and thinner so they stay in the ear better and don't fall out when you're sleeping. Perfect for traveling.

As advertised

These seem good, and I'm satisfied with the purchase because the carrying case is a nice thing to have, but you should be aware that they have the same star-shaped cutout and center hole as the same company's "Covert Ops" shooting earplugs. I think I would prefer not to have this hole just in case it reduces the effectiveness, but they do still seem to work fine. On that other product's listing Mack's / McKeon responded to someone's question, indicating that it is in fact the exact same product sold under a different name. So if you just want a refill of the same thing, the two are interchangeable, and the large bottle will be a better deal. They're pretty soft, and I wouldn't mind if they were a bit firmer, but that seems to be a deliberate design choice for comfort reasons, so I'm not complaining.

If you truly want noise reduction do not purchase these. They do not block noise at all. It was like having nothing in my ears.

Fits well, instructions were not clear, so look up proper use of ear plugs before using. Improved my sleep quality greatly.
