As someone who likes to sleep in as close to pure silence as is possible, I am truly pleased with these specific earplugs. I've found them to be among the best in terms of noise cancellation, comfort, and general quality.
Generally, I do not hear any of the various noises that would bother me, such as individuals being loud downstairs while talking or playing something from speakers. Yes, that is an issue I often have to deal with since everyone in this house has awkward sleeping schedules, generally different from each other. On that note, when I stay up too late and want to finally turn-in, these are great to help block out a barking dog or chirping bird that just won't stop.
In terms of comfort, they're easily the least uncomfortable foam earplug I've tried. This may be a personal thing, but these sorts of plugs are always uncomfortable after being in long enough, so this is a bit of an awkward area to judge. That being said, it's usually never bad enough after an hour or two of use. In most cases, this is more than enough time to either get to sleep or have whatever noise it is you're trying to avoid expire.
They stick in pretty well if you properly and deeply insert them. Can't say how big or small the size is relative to my ears, since I don't know if my inner ear is smaller or larger than average; all I can say is they do pretty well staying put. I don't think I've had any issues with them coming out after a night's rest. There's was one time where they were removed from my ears as I woke up, but given that they were in a neat pile on my side table, I'll assume I removed them in a half-awake state at some point.
I appreciate how each set of plugs is individually wrapped, and I have noticed no weird smell or film on any of them I've used so far. I've re-used a set about three or four times, which leads me to believe they're fairly durable as they keep shape and effectiveness at least up to that point. This effectively triples the value of the product, which is a huge win for me.
Finally, and most importantly, the aesthetics are legit. The strawberry lemonade color scheme is pretty rad
Don't think I can say much more than that. I've shopped around, trying various different earplugs, both foam and silicone, yet these are the ones that stand out. I'll likely keep stocked on these going forward, and if you require a massive reduction in any inconsiderate noise pollution, you should too.
