Honeywell Howard Leight 3301105 Individually Wrapped Laser-Lite Single Use Uncorded Earplugs, SNR 35 (Box of 200 pairs) Yellow/Pink

Delivery - pretty quick, I think they only took a couple of days to arrive.Value - incredibly cheap. I haven't bought ear plugs before but for the job they do and the improvement of my quality of life they are a no-brainer.Design - absolutely fantastic; shaped like little rockets. You can squish, pinch, twist and pummel them and then watch in awe as they slowly return to their original shape. Very cool!Comfort - I think I have funny shaped inner ears because mine don't hold earphones at all but with a few pushes these ear plugs will stay in. Alternatively, you can bend the base in, which is wider than the top and they will stay in securely. I've left them in for a few hours before and they are still comfortable after that time. One tip that might be handy is after you've pushed them in, hold your finger to the base so as they expand to fill your ear they don't push themselves out.Usage - I'm not sure what the protocol is on reusing these but I use each pair for about 2-3 weeks before throwing them. If you keep your ears clean (!) and store the ear plugs in a little pot or something to keep dust/hairs off, you could probably use them longer. In fact, you could probably wash them, something I haven't tried, and just keep using them 'til you lose them! They're so cheap though I just throw them and crack open a new bag since there's 20 sets and I will only need them for a few more months anyway!Do they work? In short, yes, they do their job, albeit not perfectly. I bought this product because unfortunately I've had to move back into my parents place for a few months whilst I work from home and save some money to get a new place. The household is completely disfunctional and my little brother and sister, 15 and 13 respectively, are extremely loud, foul-mouthed, and have their friends round almost every day who are also awful. The combined effect of all the shouting, giggling, swearing and answering back to my parents is a horrible level of noise pollution and negativity assaulting my ears on a daily basis. I should say at this point I have a great relationship with all members of my family, unfortunately they don't show each other the same level of respect; I mention all this simply to describe the general ambient noise that I use these ear plugs to avoid hearing whilst I'm in the house and trying to work/read/concentrate.So, with that introduction, I will try to describe the effects of using these ear plugs in reducing noise. I found that within a 2 - 3 metre radius, there is not much difference in noise reduction. If someone is on the phone in the same room I can still hear although the words are slightly muffled. I can hear any noise I make pretty clearly, like tapping a pen or typing. Where these ear plugs have their best effect is reducing noise traveling from other rooms. My brother, bless him, makes a lot of noise in his room upstairs with his mates and I'd say the ear plugs reduce up to 85% of this which is exactly what I'd hoped. Noise from the kitchen about 4 metres away, the tv room 5 metres away and the outhouse 6 metres away is reduced by about 90%. Obviously the walls, doors and floorboards help but none are very thick.Overall, I'm really pleased I bought these badboy's. I wasn't sure what to expect and whilst it would be awesome if they eliminated 100% of noise near or far, I know that's not realistic and probably not desirable if you wear them to sleep for example and need a minimum level of hearing in case of an emergency or something. I don't have anything to compare them to but for my purposes they do an excellent job and I highly recommend them. As many other people have posted, each in different situations and use cases, they've helped us keep our sanity!

I am from the states and these are easy enough to find anywhere there but if you do not have any other choice but to buy noise protection online than, these are a must have. Unlike sylicone ear plugs, that can build up your ear canal with waxy residue and does not allow for proper drainage and are hard to get that, JUST RIGHT, feel, THESE EAR PLUGS are a MUST HAVE. They fit snuggly but comfortably in the ear canal and STAY PUT! They are hard to get just right if you are useing THIS type of ear plug for the first time, as they tend to fluff up, rather quickly in the ear but once inserted CORRECTLY, they stay put and BLOCK OUT almost 100% noise. I have extremely sensitive hearing and any noise will wake me from, the birds outside my winodw to the trash trucks coming for collection and MY NEIGHBOURS...OMG THE RACKET they make, when having a party upstairs... it makes me want to pull my hair out but THESE DO THE TRICK and block out all of those noises. They are an easy fit for a person who has a, more than avaerage size, ear canal and MY HUSBAND LOVES them too, so we bought BULK and got 3 orders and that... I will guarentee you , if they fit you properly, will last a very long time! I could not find this particular BRAND in England, where I am currently residing , so I bought them from Amazon and having had them in the past for loud concerts back in the states and my husband also used them for his Band's gigs, here in England, after I had sent him some from the U.S.A. , we can both attest, that they do indeed work... IF used properly!! REMEMBER..... everyone has a different sized ear canal and if you have problems with allergies or drainage, just try one pair and you will not be out much money. I have major allergy problems and these seem to BREATHE easier in my ears and tend to let the drainage flow into them and so , if they DO fill while I am suffering an allergy nasty , than I just toss them out and open another set. GREAT PRICE and fast service, for a good nights sleep and an ear hole that does not hurt when you awaken. They do make these in flesh color and they work WONDERS, if you suffer from being out and about or from ,PTSD , like I do and you need to have a liitle bit less noise in your head. I WOULD NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO WITHOUT THEM!!! I would not recommend FOR children as they are easy to swallow and possibly choke on and if you do have children or pets , make sure you keep them out of harms way. THE BRIGHT color, makes them easy to find if you do lose one. I just bought a cheap medicine dispenser for a pound/dollar, that holds five days worth of pills and since THESE came to me, inividulaly wrapped as a pair, I just popped five days worth into the dispenser and keeps them safe from.... loss, kids,pets and is great if you have to travel and need more then on pair. THESE MAY SEEM CHEAP BUT ARE SOOOO NOT MADE CHEAP (unless you have extremely long finger nails) ! My daughter also wears these while she sleeps, since she has a house full of nosiy people living with her and it helps her block out the noise when she is studying for college. I would however, RECOMMEND, that if you tend not to waken easy with your alarm clock , TURN UP the VOLUME and if the alarm clock scares you, when it goes off , like it does me, then you will find waking up to it much easier than you did before wearing these. I hope this review helped someone out there and TRUST me when I say... suffering from, PTSD, is no fun but at least now, I can go out and about here in England and it does help severly lessen my stress levels. I wear them at all times day or night and like I said ....when one pair wears out just toss it and grab another and you are all set, anytime day or night!!! Good Luck and I hope you find them as TRUSTWORTHY as I DO !!!!
