Great product.
Use for all sorts of activities from shooting to grass cutting.
These afford much better protection than ear muffs. No matter the type of muff, there is never a good seal. Hair and glasses will allow noise to enter.
These must be installed properly; I advise visiting the mfg web site.
Roll tightly, twist slightly as you insert fully, and hold for a few seconds as they expand to seal the ear canal.
I can wear these for hours at a time comfortably.
The down side of this type protection is that they are not easily removed and replaced if you need to unplug for a few minutes to converse for example.
I do highly recommend that they not be reused. They are so cheap that it is not worth risking any contamination getting into the ear canal.
These Ear plugs really are great! They fit my ears pretty snug and block out most sounds in my proximity of my room and and then some. You will still be able to hear alarms with these on, but I would turn your alarm volume on max and possibly an extra alarm like I do just in case you don't hear it. The neon green color is pretty cool and it comes with hug box and each of the 200 pairs (400 ear plugs in total) comes sealed, which is super convenient. I think that you're supposed to dispose these every day, but I use them for about a week or two before I decide to get rid of them. I even have a pair that I've had for 3 months or so that I finally threw out. Gross, I know. Make sure not to stick these ear plugs in too deep in your ear canals. I made the mistake of doing so and there was blood on the tips of my ear plugs the next morning. My fault though, not "3M".
I really enjoy this product and give it a 5 star review and a HUGE thumbs up!
These work. Alot of people think they are too short, but it's really the technique of putting them in right. You have to roll it between your fingers till it's a thin roll, you can very gently stretch it while you roll it, but not too much. Be fast, keep it squeezed, and insert it into your ear before it puffs up, do not let go yet, leave enough out so your fingers can easily remove it later. You don't want them stuck to where you can't get them out. Always watch this with any foam earplugs. Keep holding the end until you feel the plug finish expanding in your ear. Then let go and let the part you were holding expand. Doing it this way should keep it in place, and if you have it in right, you should notice it works to where all the sounds you were trying to block are pretty much gone, but you will still hear your alarm clock or phone. That's what I really liked. It kills the bad sounds like neighbor's stereos, but still let's you hear some of what you want to hear. They are as comfortable as you can get with foam.
These work perfectly, fit my ears much better than the new "bullet" shaped Hearo's (which I loved until they redesigned them) and seem to be easier to insert into the ear canal due to s slightly denser material.
I ordered a case, not realizing that there must be a gazillion of them in a case! No problem, though, they won't be wasted. Husband and I both snore like banshees, and we agree that the decibel count goes down considerably when these are used :)
The real surprise was the box itself. Aside from being larg enough to accommodate a gazillion ear plugs, the box has two (TWO) "practice" holes in it about the size of the normal ear canal. One for each ear, I guess. Or if you get an ear plug stuck in one hole, you have another just in case !!
Personally, I didn't find it necessary to practice, so I just stuck 'em in my ears when the time came.
Anyway these are great ear plugs, and when we're finished with the (yes, gazillion) pairs we have, I'll order more!
My home has shared walls and my neighbors are exceptionally loud people. When I need to concentrate on my work, I can pop these earplugs in and get instant relief from the noise. The earplugs are designed for a single use – wear once, then throw away. Follow the instructions on the box to insert them properly, and you will have superior noise protection. I've tried multiple brands of earplugs and these are the only ones that work every single time. (I decided to try these after learning that they are the ones that hospitals use during noisy MRI scans.) Whether you are at a loud concert, or are working with power tools, or are trying to work while your child practices a musical instrument, these earplugs will get the job done. You only have one set of ears and your sense of hearing, once lost, cannot be regained. Protect your hearing with 3M earplugs!

I have worn these to rock concerts, clubs, and on my motorcycle and they work great, I love them. They do a great job at eliminating noise but still allowing you to hear everything you need to. For example, I wore them at a Taylor Swift concert and could hear all the music perfectly but could not hear the drone of the crowd yelling/screaming. It's worth mentioning that they do such a great job that sometimes I have wished they damped a little less when I have only wanted a slight noise reduction.
Superb ear protection. Just like the name says these are "soft" and easy on the ear. I've used these for years along with a few other brands but I consistently come back to these. Great choice if you have to sleep with any ear plugs in your ears. These have very little lasting next day ear soreness associated with sleeping with ear plugs. I primarily use these to protect my hearing when using outdoor power equipment and at the gun range.
Overall these are great. The most comfortable ear plugs I've used. The only issue (and so far it has only occurred with me) is that sometimes when I am careless I put them in accidentally too deep in the ear canal. Then my wife has to use tweezers to get them out. Because they are in the narrower side, it happened a few times to me. It may be operator error, or it may be that my ear canals are bigger. Either way, I have to use caution every time.
Still, the most comfortable ear plugs I have used.
I can't sleep without earplugs. It's a problem. I prefer to use foam ones and use a new pair every night because I learned the hard way that reusing earplugs can lead to ear infections. But my all of my local grocery stores stopped selling foam earplugs. So I was very happy to find these! I was worried that they might be too small, and they are slightly smaller than the ones I used to get from my grocery store, but they still work great. I love that they're individually packed, so when I go on trips I don't have to worry about finding a carrying case to avoid them getting dirty. Also, I love not having to go to the store every week to get another pack of 10 pairs. These 200 pairs are lasting me a very long time!
When I'm old, and some punk kids make a disrespectful crack about me they think I won't catch, I plan on being able to say "I heard that, you whippersnapper!" and hit 'em with my cane. That's why I use earplugs. These are good ones.
I use these for airplane flights and during the entire time I am using my lawnmower and (especially!) the weed-whacker. They work great, nice and soft, expand well, though perhaps a little slowly (I do feel like "come on already" sometimes as I wait for them to fully expand in my ear canal, but a different product that expanded quicker wasn't as good at its job - blocking sound - as these are, so this is fine by me). Some hearing loss might be inevitable over time, but I'm doing my part not to help it along by failing to protect myself from what I know are damaging levels of noise. Some people think it's wimpy or embarrassing to wear earplugs. You know the type. To that I say, it's cool to be able to hear!
