by Honeywell Maximum Disposable Earplugs Box, 200 Pair (MXM-1)

I ordered a 200-ct case of these ear plugs, and they work perfectly and are nice and thick. Apparently I have freakishly large ear canals, and so most other earplugs won't seal my ears properly. Hearos work well for me if I put them in backwards, with the fat end next to my eardrum, but they still don't work any better than the Howard Leights do and Hearos are almost three times as expensive. The Howard Leights block out sound as well or better than any other earplug I've tried, and I've tried at least five different brands before. These earplugs work so well that I actually got depressed for the first couple of days I used them. It was so quiet that I started to think what a bummer it must be for someone to be hearing-impaired, and not be able to simply remove the earplugs and hear better the way I can. But I got over that and now I wear them as much as I can, and enjoy the quiet. When someone is speaking to me with my ear plugs in, I have to be looking directly at them in order to understand what they're saying. The loud, diesel-engined public transit buses that pass by me now only give a little "whoosh". And I have to be more careful when crossing the street, to make sure there aren't speeding cars whipping around the curves waiting to clobber me. I usually can't hear them now until they are within sight, so I just quickly look both ways and then RUN across the street. Homeless guys ask me for change, and I just hear them mumble, point to my ears, and keep walking. These earplugs, like all earplugs, are mostly designed to block out mid-range sounds such as voices. Really low-pitched sounds, which vibrate through the body, can't be blocked out very effectively. This is no reflection on the quality of the earplugs. Really high-pitched sounds, such as police sirens, also come through fairly clearly. This is good since I like to drive with my earplugs in and I don't have to worry about getting T-boned by a police car or fire truck. I plan to use these earplugs as much as I can for the rest of my life, and these plugs are cheap enough for me to do that even if I break out a new pair every day. (They can be reused, but there is some risk of ear infection when they get dirty, and they tend to lose flexibility after just a few uses. Then they can't create as effective of a seal in the ear.) The only downside I can see is if someone had really small ear canals, in which case the plugs would probably cause too much pressure within the ear canals. As I said before, I don't have to worry about that. But if you do have that problem, Mack's earplugs would probably work better since they are fairly skinny. Another minor gripe is that the earplugs stick way out of my ears after I insert them, so at first they would get knocked out when I rolled my head while sleeping. I fixed this problem by simply cutting off the back 1/3 of the plug with a pair of scissors, so the ends of the plugs don't stick out past my ears. I can toss and turn all night, and the plugs stay sealed in my ears. These plugs, to me, would be worth the money if they cost five times as much. I would pay the extra if I had to, but luckily I don't have to since the Howard Leights are bargain-priced. Each pair even comes in an individual bag, so I can give them to my friends to try without getting them dirty. I wouldn't want to be responsible for someone else's ear infection.

I sleep next to a extremely noisy snorer -- she snores so loud it can be heard loud and clear in every room of the otherwise quiet house. So one can imagine what it must be like to try to fall asleep mere inches away. I bought these earplugs, and have no regrets. instead of stuffing my head into a pillow every night to try to soften the noise I pop these in. I absolutely love these earplugs -- they're definitely a lifesaver, but there are a few things to consider about these: 1. The noise reduction is great but not perfect. These are rated at about 33db, meaning that, if inserted properly, they should reduce any incoming noise by 33 decibels. Loud snoring at such close proximity can register well over 70 decibels, which, for a frame of reference, is the level of sound a vacuum cleaner makes. Do the math. any earplugs (not just these) don't eliminate all sound; they just reduce it. Wearing earplugs DOES make a huge difference, however. 2. Dare I say there's a learning curve to these earplugs? If you don't have experience wearing earplugs, then it might take several days of use to get comfortable inserting these into your ear. Not having the earplugs as far in as they should be can reduce their effectiveness and make the whole point of wearing earplugs pointless. Be warned, though: you ARE inserting a foreign object into your ear, so take caution when using these. shoving it in too far can damage your eardrum. I find that they work best when there's only a few millimeters sticking out (just enough to grab the earplug to remove it), seeing as the bell-shaped end is there to improve the seal. When removing these, make sure to also twist as you slowly remove the earplugs. This is because there is an airtight seal when they're all the way in and the seal needs to be broken gradually. I popped my ears a few times by making the mistake of pulling them straight out and too quickly. 3. From my experience, each pair's only good for one or two uses. I have naturally oily skin and waxy ears, so needless to say after sever hours of sleeping the earplugs tend to come out with a little...residue. I've found that the foam these are made of are also near-impossible to clean as well. I've also noticed that they never seem to be quite as effective after the first use, presumably from the foam be permanently misshapen from being in the ear for a prolonged period of time. At the time of writing this review, the current price of a box of 200 earplugs just over 20 dollars, so they come to about a dime a pair. At this price I'd rather have a fresh pair each night anyway. All things considered, these earplugs are a great deal. have some very small shortcomings, which are inherent in basically any foam earplugs, so I suppose the point is irrelevant. I've still given this a five-star rating because for 20 bucks, I'm still using up earplugs from the box I bought last year, and sleeping soundly because of it. I'd recommend these to anyone in a heartbeat.

The Honeywell Howard Leight Corded Foam Earplugs provide outstanding noise reduction and are perfect for outdoor activities or other loud environments. Their high-quality foam ensures a snug and comfortable fit, offering reliable hearing protection when needed most. The attached cord is a convenient feature, making it easy to keep the earplugs together and avoid losing them during use. Additionally, the individually wrapped pairs are great for maintaining hygiene and portability, making them ideal for travel, work, or outdoor adventures. These earplugs offer excellent value for the price and are highly recommended for anyone looking for effective, comfortable, and easy-to-use hearing protection. A great choice for construction, lawn care, or any high-noise activities!

These are rated only 1 DB in noise reduction better than 3m Tekk. I've given these two decent tests - - Mowing my lawn (takes about an hour) - Chainsawing (much louder) - for about 3 hours These are rated at 33 NRR, the 3m tek's are rated at 32 NRR. The different is fairly trivial. I've have to say - these seem to block out noise decently better than the 3m Tekk's, not sure what it is, but things are just that much quieter. As far as the fit and comfort go - I can't say I have any complaints. I think the comfort is about the same as the Tekk's, but the fit in my ear canal seems better ( better shape I'd say ). After several hours of chainsawing, the wear did not seem to hurt my ear canals or anything. I like the better protection than what I had before. I'll be buying these again. ----- UPDATE: After further use of these, I have a quick update. I bought a pair of 3M Peltor X-Series Over-the-Head Earmuffs, NRR 27 dB to wear in conjunction with the earplugs for further noise reduction. This gives me another way to compare. Compared to these (very good) earmuffs, the noise reduction is still noticeably superior on the Howard Leight earplugs (you should probably expect it since the NRR of earmuffs is 27). Just another perspective to compare with. I feel it is not uncommon for manufacturers to give numbers which don't really stack up to reality, so this is why I make this comparison.

Decent but almost comically inconsistent density. When I find a good pair, the noise reduction and comfort is fantastic, but often times it's like an entirely different earplug with foam density too low to be effective.

One of my best purchases ever. These are some of the best if not the best earplugs. They’re soft and compress and expand evenly. No corners or hard edges. They are the best in blocking noise that I have tried. I got it for a friend who loves it, and kept half the box because it has SO MANY in it. Years later I still enjoy them.

My husband snores and like the fan and music on. I cannot sleep with all that noise so I found these. They work great, plus the cord makes it so I can find them when they call out while I sleep. And I can smoosh them to fit my ear perfectly

I just received my order and tried them last night. I was initially worried about inserting them properly after reading some of the reviews. I have 16 month old daugther. I noticed that ever since she was born, I can't fall into a deep sleep and I have become super sensitive to sound. The slightest thing wakes me up. On top of that, I have two sets of new neighbors in a four unit townhouse complex that I live in. We have a shared parking lot and they are CONSTANTLY in and out. I wake up several times a night to the sound of car doors slamming. I was so stressed and my quality of sleep has greatly deteriorated. Even the sound of cars passing on the road started getting to me. I was at my breaking point when I just came across these earplugs and read the reviews. I was cautiously optimistic about the function of these. Well...I'm so happy to say the worked very well. As soon as I put them in, I could hear various sounds fading and I was in my own little world. I also put on a white noise machine in my bedroom. I was able to actually sit right in front of the window and read a book!!! I saw my neighbors pull in and out like they usually do, but I couldn't hear a thing. I also slept with them and found them to be very comfortable. I did have to make a slight adjustment in one ear, as I could feel some pressure that started to bother me. Once I did that, I had a great night's sleep for the first time in while.

私は耳の穴は普通サイズですが とにかく全く音が聞こえなくなるほどの防音性を求めているので この大きいサイズを耳の奥にギュウギュウに詰めると静寂が訪れます 更に表面がツルツルしているので耳垢で汚れにくくて 他のメーカーに比べて耐久力が高く反発力が衰えにくいので繰り返し使えて経済的です しかし表面がツルツルがゆえ耳栓を抜くときに真空状態になるので 慎重に抜かないと鼓膜が痛くなるのでご注意ください またメテオに比べると潰した後の戻りが速いので耳の奥に綺麗に差し込む難易度は高めかと思います 防音性に関してですが、あらゆる音を遮断する耳栓というのは存在しません ただしメテオとこの商品が現時点で最も効果的であることは間違いないと思います

Great noise cancelling 👍🏻

Muy buenos tapones para oídos, maleables y con un patrón de colores diferente a lo típico. El aislamiento es mejor que los tapones promedio, ya que son una edición especial para el equipo de tiro olímpico de los EUA.

Für mich sind das die besten Ohrstöpsel, die ich jemals benutzt hab (und ich hab viele probiert). Sie haben genau die richtige Größe für mein Ohr, passen sich sehr gut an den Ohrkanal an und dämpfen Umgebungsgeräusche wirklich extrem gut. Zudem sind sie hygienisch einzeln verpackt, was bei vielen anderen Ohrstöpseln auch nicht der Fall ist. Der Preis für diese Großpackung ist auch sehr günstig, hab sie früher in Packungen zu je 8 Stk. gekauft und im Verhältnis viel mehr bezahlt. Kann diese Ohrstöpsel daher uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen.

Diese Ohrstöpsel von Howard Leight sind der Hammer! Meine Frau kann dank ihnen endlich wieder durchschlafen, obwohl ich schnarche. Sie halten dicht, sitzen bequem und bieten selbst über Wochen hinweg konstanten Schutz vor Lärm. Die Anwendung ist super einfach: Einfach längs einrollen, ins Ohr stecken und kurz warten – die Stöpsel passen sich perfekt an und bleiben sicher an Ort und Stelle. Auch nach längerem Tragen gibt es kein unangenehmes Druckgefühl. Für jeden, der Ruhe sucht, sei es in der Nacht, beim Arbeiten oder auf Reisen, sind diese Ohrstöpsel genau das Richtige. Absolute Empfehlung!
