5.0 out of 5 starsUltra Soft for the Win - I Tried Them All.
Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2017
From left to right in photos Slim Fit (purple), Dream Girls (pink), Snore Blockers (green), Original (aqua), Ultra Soft (brown). I have read other reviews stating that macks changed the size of the Ultra Soft recently, so I am posting a photo of the packaging for mine. The Ultra Soft are my favorite (even though they are not an exciting color) because they block noise, compress really well so that they are easy to insert, and don't feel like they are forcibly pushing against my ear canal once they have expanded. The Originals are a close second (just a bit shorter and slightly more slender than the Ultra Soft), so I will use them as well. I found that the Slim Fit were somehow hard to get into my ears (in spite of being slim) and didn't block enough noise. The Dream Girls fit really well but usually didn't stay in all night (and I sometimes worried they would get shoved down too far to get out). The Snore Blockers truly block the most noise, but they push too hard against my ear canal to be comfortable for long periods. The Macks brand ear plugs have not caused irritation or itching in my ears (other brands have), but I throw them away after one use so I can't speak to durability. Wish I could say that I received a discount in my quest for the perfect plug, but I purchased all at full price on Amazon and just decided to write a review comparing them because I had a hard time differentiating based on the product descriptions.
