Howard Leight by Honeywell - R-01204 Laser Lite High Visibility Disposable Foam Earplugs, Pack of 1 (50 Pairs),Yellow

As someone who likes to sleep in as close to pure silence as is possible, I am truly pleased with these specific earplugs. I've found them to be among the best in terms of noise cancellation, comfort, and general quality.Generally, I do not hear any of the various noises that would bother me, such as individuals being loud downstairs while talking or playing something from speakers. Yes, that is an issue I often have to deal with since everyone in this house has awkward sleeping schedules, generally different from each other. On that note, when I stay up too late and want to finally turn-in, these are great to help block out a barking dog or chirping bird that just won't stop.In terms of comfort, they're easily the least uncomfortable foam earplug I've tried. This may be a personal thing, but these sorts of plugs are always uncomfortable after being in long enough, so this is a bit of an awkward area to judge. That being said, it's usually never bad enough after an hour or two of use. In most cases, this is more than enough time to either get to sleep or have whatever noise it is you're trying to avoid expire.They stick in pretty well if you properly and deeply insert them. Can't say how big or small the size is relative to my ears, since I don't know if my inner ear is smaller or larger than average; all I can say is they do pretty well staying put. I don't think I've had any issues with them coming out after a night's rest. There's was one time where they were removed from my ears as I woke up, but given that they were in a neat pile on my side table, I'll assume I removed them in a half-awake state at some point.I appreciate how each set of plugs is individually wrapped, and I have noticed no weird smell or film on any of them I've used so far. I've re-used a set about three or four times, which leads me to believe they're fairly durable as they keep shape and effectiveness at least up to that point. This effectively triples the value of the product, which is a huge win for me.Finally, and most importantly, the aesthetics are legit. The strawberry lemonade color scheme is pretty radDon't think I can say much more than that. I've shopped around, trying various different earplugs, both foam and silicone, yet these are the ones that stand out. I'll likely keep stocked on these going forward, and if you require a massive reduction in any inconsiderate noise pollution, you should too.

These are my favorite foam earplugs. They are soft enough to be very comfortable yet maintain their expansion properties over multiple insertions. I use the them for days. Only discard when they get gross. I can easily sleep with these in. They really cut the noise. Can't ask for much more. Love 'em.

I trust these ear plugs since these are the only ones I’ve used that actually work effectively. They are cheap due to the quantity (upfront cost high, but long term very very cheap) but are very much worth the price. They’re far more durable, sound proofing, and easy to fit in the ear

there is, of course, a certain subjectivity inherent to the evaluation of an earplug's utility. The prime issue is that of the ear canal and whether or not yours are normal shaped pathways that provide a snug home for foam noise blockers or are, like mine, misshapen corridors of bone and flesh to which no earplug material seems to conform. With that in mind, these particular Howard Leight's do the best total job of getting in my ear, staying there, and blocking out noise. There are some that are better at the last item in that list, but there's no real point in using them if they constantly wiggle and pop out. YES. Before you say it. YES, I do know how to put an earplug in. Many still won't stay in there - perhaps it's because of my strangely shapen inner ear regions, or perhaps it's just a secret truth of earplugs. Whatever it is, THESE work well. Oddly enough, the other Howard Leight make I tried - the MAX 1 - was AWFUL. Again though, I think there's some subjectivity here that's unavoidable due to ear shape and so forth. Whatever the case may be, these particular plugs are my jam and that's that.SPECIFICALLY:1) noise reduction - very good. I live in a noisy apartment and if I use them along with a loud circular fan, I can sleep through the night. Good for dulling out loud voices, cancelling out regular ones. No ear plug or ear muffs ever made will block out the thudding noise of footfalls or idiots slamming doors, alas. While it goes beyond the scope of this review, I beg of you, if you are sensitive to noise, be sure to rent on the top floor.2) comfort - very comfortable. they fit in nicely and stay there.3) aesthetic - very nice futuristic style that seems akin to a rocket ship or a beautifully designed nuclear power plant cooling tower. They look cool when I find them on the floor or see them sitting in the garbage. Makes me think I live in a special era of human progress.

For indoor range firearm shooting, these are great. I tried some cheaper ones here on amazon (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08273T5XC?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1) and they were not very good for shooting at all. When I A/B tested between those and these Howard Leights, the HL plugs seemed to block out AT LEAST 3-6 more dB. It was obvious as heck, and that matters when you're around firearms. On top of that, these plugs are way more comfortable. They're a lot softer and I find it impressive that while they feel much softer they provide more sound blockage, so cudos on the design/engineer team that developed these.Took off one star only because 5 is reserved for perfection, which would be absolute perfect comfort and even higher noise reduction.
