5 out of 5 stars
Great earplugs...recommended!
I love these earplugs. They reduce the surrounding noise level to a very comfortably endurable level, while still letting in sounds from people talking to you from next to you. Also, this was one of the only brands that was available for import to India.One only needs to create a snug fit for the earplugs in your ears. It may take a few attempts. Please note that this product is available in regular and large fit, so buy the one that you think will suit your ear size. What's more, while removing the earplugs, do NOT yank them out of your ears, instead twist them slowly, outwardly.They come with a case and a thread to attach one earplug to the other (see photographs). I advise keeping them attached to the thread...keeps you from losing them if you accidentally drop them!I use them on Mumbai's roads, where noise levels are alarming high.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great earplugs
Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2015
Verified Purchase
I like these. They are the fourth pair of "nice" earplugs I've tried (I'm not counting the regular foam ones, which don't even fit into my ears), and have so far been the best. They fit snugly in my ear and really filter the sound well, and generally stay put well too (I dance in them, including fast spins, and they do not slip out at all - however, like most earplugs, you may notice when you smile or move your face in certain ways, they may open up slightly, or if you exercise vigorously in them like me and get sweaty. I've found this with every earplug I've tried, but these seem to do it less than others). They also are not very noticeable with the clear stems, which I like. They are also easy to insert and remove. The only issue I have is that they are uncomfortably tight - at the end of a couple of hours, while my ears are thankfully not ringing, they are in pain from being squeezed by these things. As a caveat, I do have really tiny ear canals, so it may just be me. They also are better than another pair I tried that was really inflexible and even more painful - these at least have some give. Then again, I wonder if these would be snug enough for large ear canals, but maybe the flexibility would make them adaptable. Regardless, they've worked well for me overall and I find myself reaching for these every time and leaving my other ear plugs at home. I haven't used them long enough to see how they'll hold up, but the plastic seems sturdier than another brand I tried with a similar construction. I would recommend trying them, especially if you have smaller ear canals and regular plugs don't fit.

Update 7/16: I have changed my rating from 4 to 5 stars and ordered a second backup pair, because these earplugs have remained a favorite. The main downside is that if you are using them during heavy activity when you are sweating and moving a lot, you might find yourself having to push them back in fairly regularly. I only use them for dancing so I don't know if this would be an issue for other activities. However, compared to the benefits and considering the price, I think these are a great buy. Also, people almost never notice that I am wearing them, even when my hair is up, which is great - I love that they are discreet. They also really filter sound well without giving you that muffled feeling. Highly recommended!

Update 5/17: I am still using and enjoying these earplugs. However, I must note that they are NOT sufficient for very high volumes. I recently attended a music event and wore these throughout, but experienced horrible ringing in my ears for days afterwards. They are still good earplugs and have saved me at other times, but be aware that for a certain level of noise you will need something with more protection.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for concerts - somewhat painful.
Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2016

I use the ear plugs at concerts - everything from metal to electronic. Overall, they work pretty well and they don't muffle to vocals as terribly as foam ear plugs. I think they do a good job at protecting your ears from the loud music, and I haven't had any of that pleasant ringing that continues for days after the concert since I started using these. They provide good protection even when standing directly in front of the amps in the front row.

My main complaint would be that they do not sit very comfortably in my ears. I have to twist them quite a bit to get them at an angle which is somewhat comfortable, and the longer they remain in, the more the inside of my ears start to ache. This could by my ears - I don't know, but it's something to consider. I've found myself taking them out and popping in foam ear plugs whenever a band comes on stage who I don't care for (as the music quality is much higher with these compared to foam ear plugs).

I'll be trying something else next time a buy, but I wouldn't hesitate to buy another pair if I can't find something better. They are definitely an upgrade from disposable foam ear plugs for anyone interested in enjoying a concert without getting tinnitus.

Bought these because I loaned out my other pair and they lost them. These work so well during concerts I may just buy another pair as backups, again.
I could talk to someone during a concert like there was very little noise, and I could hear them even about 2ft away from me with all the music blaring.
Will definitely recommend for others and my musician friends.

5.0 out of 5 stars Festivals and Concerts Review
Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2016

Does it work?
-Yes!

As someone who loves to go to festivals and events. I finally decided that it is time for me to take care of my hearing. While casually browsing through Amazon, I came across these slick Earplugs. I thought to myself, "Why not, its not the most aesthetic earplugs, but at the price, it will do." I decided to order this bad boy and patiently waited for it to arrive.

As a average size male, it fits perfectly. It gently sits within my ear canal, and it didn't take long before it became a part of me. I attended a whole day festival and wore the Earplugs the whole time.

These are some of the things I noticed with it on while being at a festival
Pros
- It becomes a lot easier to hear others talking to you.
- The music sounds a lot better in the front since the plugs filter out background noise and the heavy bass
- No one notices these because they are clear
- No ringing in the ear after the event
- Happy ears and prolonged good hearing

Con
- My soul was unable to tremble through the bass
- You have to clean it
- Its harder for people to hear you when you talk because you don't talk as loud

Overall, I attended many events with these earplugs and they do what they are advertised. The carrying pouch make it easy to store and carry. Best part of all this is knowing I will still have my hearing when I'm old and grey.

Hatte mir die Ohrschützer schon vor längerer Zeit gekauft und dann letzte Woche bei Rammstein Live erprobt. Fazit: Klang ist weiterhin gut, nur leichte Höhenabdämpfung. Sie Schirmen aber nicht so gut ab wie andere. Wers sehr leise möchte, sollte lieber andere nehmen, Wem guter Sound wichtig ist, ist mit diesen gut bedient.

Reviewed in India on October 9, 2017

It definitely does the job alright! Seems to be comfortable.Listening to speech is clear and audible although you might have to focus on the speaker a lil bit.
It does get a little uncomfortable, so don't expect a soft, tender experience.

Ultimate downside is that it requires cleaning and cleaning can take a while especially when ear wax gets stuck under the flanges and this process has generally discouraged me to an extent though I still use it.
It sticks out of your ears!! So you might draw weird looks and comments!

These earplugs were recommended to me by a hearing specialist. They take the edge off loud sounds and reduce all sound levels without making things muffled. I have already ordered another 2 pairs. They are much easier to insert and remove than standard earplugs. The end does stick out of your ears however which is why I went for these rather than the coloured ones.
Expensive compared to your usual earplugs but I think they are worth it.
