A good option We got these to try and the main user of these would be my wife as she needs them to sleep at night. Sometimes she might wear ear plugs in the day as well. I’ve given them a go as well but they aren’t something I’d use often, more in a situation I’d specifically need to take them with me. These start off well as they are good quality and feel nice. And the best part is that they do everything right. You get four sizes and that makes it easy to find the right fit. And you might have to try each to be sure, sometimes a perfect fit actually isn’t. And then the noise levels do work but are more noticeable if the world is already quiet, as the difference is quite subtle. When wearing them they are discrete and okay to wear whilst sleeping. But one draw back is the loop earplugs. Frankly they just fit better, and more comfortable and blog sound better. You can’t adjust them and can need two sets, but they are better. For the cost these are okay. They do as they should but don’t best or match the competition. They have adjustable sound levels and that’s the main reason to get them over something else if that matters most to you. We’re happy with them.

Good ear plugs for middle sound range blocking (chatter to moderate snoring) Full disclosure- I have a lot of earplugs. For sensory issues, focus, ignoring the sleeping husband, etc. I also have smallish ears (nothing ridiculous but slightly smaller than average). These are probably my second favorite pair of earplugs. Pros: you can actually tell the difference in sound blocking between the levels, so the highest blocking level I can use to mostly muffle out snoring and the lightest level I can use to focus on a book while my toddler is in the play room (I don’t want to ignore him completely, but I also don’t need to be looking up at every exclamation of “truck!” When he’s playing a game IYKYK). They have multiple ear piece sizes (most do these days), so you can find ones that fit your ear canal best (small for me though they have ones for XS-L). They are durable feeling and do come in a case that’s hard for my kid to open. Cons: the shape is a bit large for my ears, so they dig in a bit if I’m having a restless night. That’s probably down to the shape of your ears- if you have normal sized or larger ears, the plastic bit likely won’t dig in. The “transparent” level advertised isn’t really transparent- you can hear louder sounds but soft ones like music playing on low get blocked out on the transparent level. The highest level isn’t super blocking either. I didn’t expect it to be given the decibel rating, but fyi- it will not block out heavy snoring completely or like concert noise. They aren’t that kind of hearing protection. And like all ear plugs, the case is small and will be easily lost. It does not have a strap or a place to put one on it either to attach it to something else. Overall, a solid set of ear plugs and the best ones for “levels” of noise blocking I’ve tried. Good for levels of focus as long as you don’t need a truly transparent or complete noise blocking levels.

Excellent 4-level switch dampening system with premium storage case, tiny compact size!. These little earplugs are quite impressive for their size. The modular design and switch system are very innovative, allowing for quick and easy noise-level customization with options ranging from light sound dampening to more powerful noise reduction. They offer reduction levels ranging from 15 dB, 20 dB, 21 dB & 24 dB SNR, depending on the switch configuration used. I also like how thin and flush they sit inside my ears, I could even sleep with them in comfortably. They fit snugly and stay securely in place. The carrying case is also very cool. A slight press on the back causes it to pop open smoothly, giving it a premium feel and slick appearance. The earplugs themselves are highly customizable, with silicone tips ranging from XS, S, M (default), and L sizes. The sound-dampening insert can be removed for lighter sound isolation, or you can use the slider switch on the insert to select different levels of noise reduction. It's like having several earplugs built into one compact unit. At first, I tried inserting them like typical earbuds with the stems pointing downward, but the correct orientation is to insert them with the stems pointing upward and then rotate them backward into place. Overall I think they are an excellent value. They are reusable, well-built with quality materials, include a storage case and most importantly work well, I couldn't ask for more from an earplug.

Good quality, comfortable hearing protection buds for conversations in crowded areas This review covers two of the Earmuffz hearing protection earbuds, which I ordered at the same time for comparison and to see how they stood up against another name-brand option I own. The first product is the “Complete” model (this item), and the second is the “Adventure” model. Quality-wise, the Earmuffz earbuds are very good. The materials feel durable and smooth, they’re made well with no flaws that I can find, and consistency among the earbud pairs in both appearance and function is spot-on. They’re comparable in construction quality to the other buds my family has been using for years, though materials are slightly different with the other brand feeling more “premium.” There are trade-offs for that, though. The other brand can be slippery at times and though all three can be considered lightweight, that brand feels heavier than the Earmuffz. Granted, they’re still lightweight, but when it comes to wearing buds for hours at a time, even a small amount of weight can impact longevity. Of the three, the Adventure feels the lightest when worn, followed by the Adventure and then brand three. Although all three earbuds have different dampening goals for different environments, they all seem to be equally as effective, as well with my other brand serving as a comparison to both sets of Earmuffz since it’s a hybrid model (bundled with attachments for multiple environments). Please note: noise dampening buds aren’t intended to replace noise cancelling headphones; they dampen certain noise levels or sounds to protect hearing and to highlight other noises, like voices. The highlighted noises can sometimes come across as louder, which is desirable for conversations in noisy environments or to focus on music at a concert. That does, however, make these types of buds a poor choice for an airplane or other areas where dampening all noises is desired. All three pairs come with different sizes of eartips (XS, S, M, L for the Earmuffz) that are easy to swap out, soft, and malleable, and none of them pop off on their own. The cases are also of similar quality, though they have significantly different designs. The Earmuffz cases open by pressing the bottom to slide the case up and open while the other brand has a standard case. Although innovative, I’m not a fan of the Earmuffz case since it opens too easily in my bag. Fortunately, the other difference between the cases is the custom fit for the Earmuffz buds, which keeps them locked into place until intentionally removed. This means that I won’t lose them in my bag even when they pop open. The other buds come out of their case too easily The bottom line on quality and effectiveness is that Earmuffz is a viable alternative to my tried-and-true brand. Given that the Earmuffz are lighter, I’ll reach for them first going forward unless I’m in an environment that has changing needs or unknown variables. In those situations, the other brand makes more sense since I’d have to carry two cases with the Earmuffz. Now, comparing the two sets of Earmuffz: Complete - –These cover 15/20/21/24 dB, which makes them ideal for busy and crowded environments like museums and school open houses since they dampen competing backgrounds while allowing conversations and other similar noises to come through. –The center of these is solid, which is part of their function but that also makes them more visually obvious in the ear and slightly harder to lock into place. –Some of the most comfortable noise dampening earbuds I’ve worn to-date, and for longer periods of time. If it wasn’t for the effect they had on sound, I’d forget I was wearing them. –Expensive. Adventure - –This model covers only 19db and is meant for environments where you need to protect your hearing but want most of the sound to come through, such as at sporting events and concerts. –The center of these is open, which makes them less conspicuous than other options. That design also makes it easier to grip and twist the buds into place. –As mentioned, they’re the lightest of the two Earmuffz models. –Unfortunately, they’re also the most uncomfortable of all three of my earbuds. The most I’ve been able to tolerate is 30 minutes before my ears feel sore. It’s possible this is an issue with my ear shape, but since I have no issues with the other pair of Earmuffz, I suspect it has something to do with the design or plastic. –A reasonable MSRP for good-quality, reusable hearing protection earbuds.

Helps me sleep during the day I use these when I need to sleep during the daytime. I have a baby at home and she can be very loud, so reducing the background noise makes a big difference when I’m trying to get some rest. They don’t completely cut me off from everything, which I actually prefer, but they take the edge off the noise enough for me to settle down more easily. I also like that there are four different noise-reduction levels, from 15 to 24 dB, so they aren’t limited to just one setting. The pack includes four sizes of washable silicone tips as well, which helps with getting a proper fit. They’ve become something I reach for whenever I need a daytime nap.

Effective at reducing external sound I'm not sure what to expect, but I expected a bit more for the money. These are basically earphone buds that block external sounds. There are no electronics in these ear plugs. They are just passive ear plugs with a mechanical slider to adjust the sound blocking level. You have 4 levels of sound blocking and the highest level does do a good job of blocking sound. I found them as effective as the standard foam ear plugs you can buy. The form factor is good too. They don't protrude from your ear, so are comfortable to wear when sleeping. When you are sleeping on your side, you do not feel any additional pressure. The buds are comfortable in your ear canal too. I like that these are reusable and you can swap the size of the buds for the best fit. However, I do think they're a little expensive for what they are.

Classic ear plugs At the time of writing this review, the price is £40.00. These ear plugs feel sturdy and well made, with the brass construction giving them a premium appearance. The four protection levels are useful because the amount of sound reduction can be adjusted for different situations rather than completely blocking everything out. They fit comfortably and are compact enough to carry in a pocket or bag, making them practical for concerts, travelling, studying or noisy environments. Once fitted correctly, they stay securely in place without feeling excessively bulky. Overall, they are a reusable and versatile option for anyone wanting adjustable hearing protection in a durable design.

For those who want less distraction rather than silence These are for turning background noise down, with four different settings, rather than eliminating sound completely. The lowest setting (15dB) gives a mild reduction where you can still hear your surroundings, and the highest (24 dB) substantially muffles surrounding sound and noise. Keeping some environmental sound can be useful when studying or commuting. I am not sure there’s a big difference between the four settings, but I do find that the highest setting muffles music and allows me to still hear speech. They are comfortable to wear and convenient to carry around. The cost does seem on the high side, though not outrageous.

Neat and effective ear plugs that you will forget you are wearing. The ear plugs are neatly packaged and an illustrated instruction leaflet is included but is in very small print. The plastic box that the plugs are in doesn’t pull apart which makes it a bit fiddly to get them out. Four sets of tips are included. It is important to get the right size or they won’t work so well. I have fairly small ear canals so opted for the “s” size which fitted comfortably. The ear plugs themselves are quite small and light and it is easy to forget that you are wearing them. On the surface of each plug there is a slide button and you need to slide that up or down to get the correct amount of noise elimination that you want. Again, it is a touch fiddly but you can do that before you put them in your ears. You don’t always want total noise elimination. For example, if you are expecting a knock on the door or are listening out for children so here you have a choice. They are on the expensive side but I can see why. They are well made, have four different size of ear cones and four different levels of sound elimination. I couldn’t see that this company sold replacement cones and they do wear out so some research may be needed to get the correct size to fit on the plugs plus fits properly into your ear. Very good ear plugs that work well. Recommended.

Doesn't block sound, but turns the volume down. I was all prepared to really hate these earplugs but having tried them I have to admit I'm actually quite impressed with them. The only sticking point is that price, as £44 seems a bit exortionate. That aside, these work really well. The first thing to realise is that these are not really hearing protection. I work in a noisy environment and wear those cheap disposable plugs at work and they are rated to aound 60SNR. They pretty much totally block all sound to protect my hearing. These plugs don't do that, and are not rated anywhere near high enough to be usable in industrial environments. They do conform to EN352, so they are genuine article, but the SNR level is too low for using them for serious hearing protection. But, that's not what they are for. These plugs don't block sound but what they do instead is turn it down. You can still hear normally but the volume is turned down. You can have conversations with them in and still be aware of your surroundings but everything is just quieter. If you work at home with other people in the house, or you have an open plan office where it seems everyone has to shout at each other, or noisy neighbours then they are absolutely brilliant. Every intrusive noise just fades away to background and you can concentrate on what you're doing. They come is a rigid plastic case to keep them safe and there are set of different plug bits for different sized ears. You put them into your ears and the wing part tucks behind the folds of your ears to keep them in place. They are tremendously comfortable and assuming you're picked the correct sized plug you quickly forget you are wearing them as you don't have that 'closed off' claustrophbic sensation you get with noise-blocking plugs. There is a plastic slider on the outside that you can move to three different positions to adjust the amount of sound blocking. I could barely detect any difference between the different levels so I'm not very convinced of the usefullness of this but its fun to play with. They look good too, the brass and white plastic making them look more like jewellery than PPE. I'm really surprised at how useful these are and how effective they are too and I'm wearing them as I type this to block the racket coming from someone mowing the lawn four doors down with the worlds noisest petrol mower. I can still hear them, but they appear to be mowing quietly which is lovely. That price though, ouch...

Comfortable to wear I really like these, just what I need when I’m in the play gym with the kids and my laptop when I’m trying to do a little work without the background noise! Lovely storage compartment and they are comfortable to wear for whatever duration. They feel and look nice and I would recommend yeah 👍

good but expensive! These ear plugs are entirely non-electronic. They don't need recharging or anything like that. There is a manual slider on the back on the ear plugs to change from "open mod" to more sound-blocking modes (ranging from 20dB to 24dB attenuation). The earplugs come in a snazzy box, with 4 silicone head sizes: XS, S, M, L. The Medium size is fitted onto the ear plugs when they arrive and the other sizes are in the box. These work well as ear plugs. You have to fit them properly. You know they're properly in when you speak and you own voice sounds louder in your head. They are quite expensive for ear plugs - though they do offer more customization than your average ear plugs.
