I bought 2 sets of this speedo ear plugs. Those 2 sets shipped to me are different as shown online. They aren't that comfortable while plug into the ears, the rings of the rubber are a little too thick and hard.

I like the case better the ear plugs. I found the ear plugs to be stiff and uncomfortable. When the plastic hinge broke on the case for my Aqua Sphere ear plugs, I moved them into the case from the Speedos - so not a total waste. Aqua Sphere plugs are softer and more comfortable - and cheaper too!

I read the reviews that they didn't feel good and still ordered them thinking it would be different for my ears. Well it wasn't. These ear plugs hurt. The plastic is too hard and doesn't give. So it really feels annoying. Hurts and doesn't feel comfortable at all. Take my word for it. They need to come up with a new ear plug shaped just like this one; but made of of flexible rubber that will hold the water out, but feel good in the ear. I definitely wouldn't recommend this ear plug.

These earplugs hurt to wear. They also shift because they're so stiff so you end up with water in your ears. Don't waste your money on these - go for the more flexible plastic earplugs!!

I bought these thinking that with Speedo as the maker, they would be good. Wrong! These were incredibly painful. The rings on the plugs dig into the ear canals and to top it off, they didn't even keep the water out! I couldn't even swim one lap before I'd have to stop, pull the plug out, and let the water come out of my ear. I tried to get them to work for about ten laps, thinking that they'd soften up. No deal. I then gave up, went back to the locker room and used my old trusty plugs I got from Walgreens. I think I paid a couple of bucks for them.

Just bought these to replace my old orange speedo earplugs that I left in the pool shower; my old ones were soft and effective. I just tried these for the first time tonight and WOW, they were painful. So painful in fact that after I inserted the first one into one ear, I removed it IMMEDIATELY, and didn't use them, just dealing with waterlogged ears. The leading ridge/flange is very hard and sharp edged. Bad design. Use at your own risk. Sadly I purchased two pair. They're going straight to the garbage. Fortunately they're not too expensive, and I'll have the cases.

My old Speedo ear plugs have a flesh color and float when dislodged from my ear, making them easy to retrive. I might add they are over 20 years old!

These have added lots of fun to my daily swim. I now get to play lifeguard while trying to locate and rescue them! Not my intended use!

In addition to being colorless and therefore very hard to locate in a pool, they also sink rather than float, being made from a more silicone-like material than my old ones, which I think might be soft plastic.

In a week, I have already been unable to locate one of the three supplied. In all liklihood it found the floor drain faster than I could find it.

This is unfortunate, since Speedo usually makes such excellent, lon-lasting products.

I am still learning swimming now. I do not like water entering my ears. I like this product.

These ear plugs I feel were misrepresented in that the picture shows one type (the kind I wanted), but what was sent to me was not at all what was in the picture. I did return them without any difficulty.

I've been swimming for years and I think using no ear plugs at all is better than using these. The plastic is too hard and the shape is not ergonomic at all. On top of that they can cause ear damage if you accidentally push them in too far. I bought the Zoggs ear plugs to replace these ones and they're far better, I specially recommend them.
