5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect, if used right
From safety standpoint, this type of earplug has been tested as best for protection from hearing damage (better than ear muffs). The trick is, the user has to roll the plug thin before inserting into ear canal, where it expands and then considerably softens loud noises. It feels strange until you get used to it. The other thing is, if your hands are dirty, clean them...

1.0 out of 5 stars These don't work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Too soft, do not allow you to roll into cylinder and insert in the ear, especially when warm. I have been using ear plugs for 25 years, I know the correct insertion procedure, very few makes hold shape correctly to be installed. These just crumple and don't insert and waste my (limited) patience.
I have bought pack of 100 from home depot, green, hexagon shape,...

From safety standpoint, this type of earplug has been tested as best for protection from hearing damage (better than ear muffs). The trick is, the user has to roll the plug thin before inserting into ear canal, where it expands and then considerably softens loud noises. It feels strange until you get used to it. The other thing is, if your hands are dirty, clean them first, before rolling and inserting plug, and it's advisable to discard plug and insert new when removing them. They're fairly cheap, and your hearing is worth it. But they do work.

I have bought pack of 100 from home depot, green, hexagon shape, worked great, can even be washed and reused many times, but I can't find the name now, I will add another comment if I find them.

3.0 out of 5 stars They stick out too far, January 11, 2009

I've made it a habit of wearing ear plugs to sleep ever since college (8 years ago) so I've been through a lot of earplugs over the years and these were very disappointing for me personally as they stick out too far and aren't thick enough for my ears. I've honestly never run into this problem with disposables which are typically all the same size... As for noise reduction, they're just average. I highly recommend Mack's line of ear plugs for sleeping.

4.0 out of 5 stars work fine on site at very noisy construction jobs, April 30, 2011

Jackhammers, air compressors, nailers - you name it and I have been blocking it out with these plugs. Squeeze them fully with your fingers, place right in your ear lightly and wait about 8 seconds and they fill back out. Have worn them for hours at a time. Easily worth the money. They of course don't block out everything. You need full, over the ear ear muffs if you need more noise protection than these provide.

These seem to be a little smaller than other tapered ear plugs I've used over the years but I think they'll work fine and are a good buy for disposable plugs.

Update: After using these a few times I'm lowering the rating to 3 stars. I've used many types of earplugs over the years in machine shops and while using chain saws. The best (for my purpose) have a level of stiffness that allows them to stay compressed while inserting in the ear. This way they can be placed well into the ear to dampen the sound. The ones I'm reviewing are smaller and softer than I'm accustomed to and don't seem to work as well for me.

If you have a large crowd over to help you remove a stand of trees this package would be great.

For myself, I'll be buying the individual packages that I'm used to.

Not much to review. They are ear plugs and they work good. I like the package: it's easy to find in my garage, keeps the earplugs dry and clean, and is easy to open.

Just needed bulk package of earbuds for shooting / various other loud activities.

These just fit the bill and were not too expensive. I like the design of the package and how the top opens but honestly it's all asthetic.

I'm sure there are slightly cheaper per earbuds out there but this just caught my eye.

3.0 out of 5 stars A little long, February 3, 2012

They are either a little too long or to wide. My ear canels are not small but then I use these in the shower they sometimes fall out. This can defeat the purpose. After taking showers for 45 years I now need to keep water out of my ears or become infected. Next time I will look for something smaller. As for these plugs, they are soft and if they were a bit shorter they be great. Tried cutting off a little less than a 1/4 inch but that makes them to wide to get without push very hard.

Real businesses probably would not use this ear plug. It is thicker than industrial standard ear plugs and barely fits in your ear. Excellent packaging makes it worth buying. Home Depot is known for poor packaging that leaks ear plugs on ground but meets industrial standards for thickness. Worth buying for basic use. Nice package. Jim Cyr

They do what they say. I bought them as a "study aid" to block out noises from people I live with :D. Mild discomfort when I use a new set each day. Roll em up and have your own library in your head.
