3.0 out of 5 stars Good Product, Bad Packaging..., July 11, 2010

Bottom line is that these earplugs work very well, but they are tricky to make, and I think that more material should be provided for the customer to experiment with.

First off, the material that one uses to make the earplugs (two different types of putty) has to be taken out of the container it is packaged in, and then each putty has to be divided evenly in half before it is mixed thoroughly with its opposite to activate the curing process. Kind of confusing. Why doesn't it come pre-separated in the correct proportions? This is a simple thing which would have made this a lot easier to use.

Then there is the amount of putty in the package. If you follow the instructions you will have exactly enough to make two earplugs. This allows no room for error, or to make another earplug if one doesn't come out very well. At this price, more putty should be supplied.

The earplugs I made were quite large in the end, and it would have been nice to try making a smaller set. And though they were kind of tricky to put in, they DID work very well in blocking sound. However, I bought these to be used while sleeping but they were much too big and hard for that-- quite uncomfortable. If I could have made a smaller pair, they might have worked (as is pointed out in other reviews which used half the amount recommended) but in my case, after following the directions there was no putty left.

This is a unique and potentially great product which needs better packaging and presentation.

1.0 out of 5 stars Did Not Set Up - Buyer Beware!, December 21, 2011

This review is from: Radians Custom Molded Earplugs (Sports)

Length:: 0:59 Mins

I followed the directions exactly as they were stated but the plugs just would not set up. I even laid down for about 30 minuted and the goo was starting to run out of my ears. I had a little left over so I tried mixing unequal portions thinking one was the hardening agent. I did 40% white and 60% colored as well as 40% colored with 60% white. All 3 mixes never set up even after letting them sit overnight and trying gently warming them for about 30 minuts at 150º in the oven.

It seems like their quality control is just crap, don't risk it. On a good note Amazon refunded my money and didn't even require that I send them back. Bravo Amazon!

I do alot of metal fabrication and welding so i always here lots of loud noises.when i first got these ear plugs i thought i was still going to here noise but the truth is you cant here a single noise.i remember one time my foreman told everyone to take a break will i didint here him.well he was pratically screaming at me and didint know why i couldnt here him well

he figured out i had the earplugs on so he pulled them off and he said can you here me know.But ther great when your grinding you cant he the grinder or other noises at all.
