I’ve been using these since 2013, and I love them. I cut a bit off of the wide end so they are flush, down inside my ear canal. Then I wear my bluetooth earpods. I can’t hear anything else but my music. Everything else in the world is muted.

I'm a woman and I've tried all the different versions of the Mack's ear plugs. This is my favorite version. This is comfortable enough for my ears but cancels noise the best. The versions targeted towards women were comfortable but didn't block enough noise. As someone who's very sensitive towards noise at night, cars outside, the washing machine, the dishwasher, etc, would still be audible and keep me up. The green version was better at block noise, but it was a little too firm and hurt my ear canal. This tan version is JUST RIGHT. If you're like me with medium sized ears (I use medium size ear buds for reference), I think this will be a good fit for you!

My husband has sleep apnea and snores like a chainsaw. I tried using plugs but many are painful in the ear especially when laying on the ear. I am on my 4th container of the Mack ear plugs. By far the greatest invention. Noise is drastically minimized if not gone when they are in.

Best brand

I'm not paid advertising so take my anecdote review with a grain of salt. I have mild hearing loss, and it gets worse with chronic loud noise. I wear these at work, around air compressors and heavy machinery. It is VERY effective. I also wear these at home, when my stupid room mates stupid dog is barking like it's brain is damaged. That works a little.

By far the best i have tried.

If you are reading this review, that means either you have tried so many and they don't seem to work, or you are just not sure if this product is any good judging it by its price. Well, i can tell you that i have not spared a penny in the past trying to get my self a good pair of earplugs, as i have struggled to get a decent nights sleep due to a housemate being less than considerate! Just when i was about to give up, after trying and wasting so much money and time, i came across this little gems which i decided to give one last try. I have never ever thought an item so cheap compared to the rest would actually be so good. I finally have my life back i can say! I get decent sleep now and feel fresh every morning! One pair lasts me 5 days! I am sure you can use it ... MoreIf you are reading this review, that means either you have tried so many and they don't seem to work, or you are just not sure if this product is any good judging it by its price.

I have never ever thought an item so cheap compared to the rest would actually be so good. I finally have my life back i can say! I get decent sleep now and feel fresh every morning! One pair lasts me 5 days! I am sure you can use it for longer if you really take good care of them, as for me i am over the moon with the results! Read the instructions and i can assure you that you will not regret you purchased those. I hardly write any reviews to be honest. i am very busy, but on this occasion i feel somewhat reaponsible to put my thoughts out there as i am sure there are so mang people out there fighting and would do anything to get a decent night sleep. Again not all ears or people are the same but just saying that those have worked for me so much better than any other and believe me i have bought pretty much every single different earplug from all around the world! I have blubbered alot so i hope they work for you same way they worked for me. Good Luck.

Comfortable and effective

Soft foam plugs that fit the ear canal very well. They help me very much while sleeping but I am not quite sure whether they are really NRR33. I haven't seen much difference compared with other plugs I used with a lower NRR but it might just be my impression.

Excellent & comfy (A+)

I used to buy the fluro green/yellow Macks plugs, but these are more comfortable. A pair usually lasts me 2-3 weeks because I use them only for sleep and keep them clean. Never had any problems. I would imagine if you wear them out and about for work and you handle them with grimey fingers, it may be necessary to replace them more frequently to avoid possible ear infections. Good luck finding the right pair for you 🙌

I am definitely going to buy this product again!

. I like them because they are affordable and came with a case. They are 34mm which is better then I can find in headphones.I put them in my sons ears then put his regular noise cancelling head phones when we are at loud concerts. Super confident in this product.

These work well for my needs.

Good product. Sometimes it's hard to roll them compact enough, to get them in my ears fast enough, before they expand. It can take a few tries to get it right. These are not professional grade so you hear some louder noise but not much. I wouldn't want a single pair of pro ones. When they get goopy and cleaning them doesn't work anymore you have to buy another expensive pair. I use a pair for 4-7 days before they get tough, loose expandability and are too grubby. Went through a 10 pair box too quickly. These will last awhile. The plastic screw top container won't let the earplugs dry out, keeping them soft and supple. Drowns out my roommates mild to moderate snoring and talking in her sleep. When she snores or talks loudly I can hear some of it. If you have a loud ... MoreGood product.

There is no complete solution for an extremely loud snorer. My sympathy to those with a bulldozer for a mate.

does not hurt my ear!

I hate ear plug. I mean I hate it. It's itchy and make my ear hurt after about 10 minutes. Then I found Mack's. Its a total game changer. It's the best. I can wear it all day when I work at home or wear it at night to sleep and no pain. It's great. Best invention ever!
