Pros & Cons

Pros

These foam ear plugs are very easy to use and they effective for my use. They mash down smaller and take longer to expand. I prefer these earplugs over the other 3m nrr 29 ear plugs that are cylindrical shaped and come in pillow packs.

As far as noise cancelling, they work very well but they are not absolute. Good noise control even for gunfire. Great if you're commuting on noisy public transit.

Make sure to clean your phone/music earbuds on a regular basis with an alcohol prep pad. This property is very useful when you need to remove the earplug temporarily to pick up a call or something. One issue i've had with other brands are there seem t...  Read More

These are fantastic. Fantastic buy and a staple for any household. If you are tired of buying little packs for too much money at the hardware store, this is your solution.



Cons

The replacement box is 10:56 12/28/15, so it looks like the latest 2016 batches are poorly formulated or simply manufactured improperly. These plugs are shorter than others i've used. They used to be good, now they are garbage.

They are tiny ( and i have small ears) and stay squished flat and don't expand to block ear canal and reduce noise. Completely ineffective in cancelling out any noise. Do yourself a favor and get some that have more substance to them.

Highlights

Quality


Good nrr (noise reduction rating), soft and easy to roll and fit in ear.


These are the only earplugs that won’t make your ears hurt throughout the night, they’re soft and block noise decently.


I've used 3m pillow shaped in the past and they were great, this particular product is too small for my small ear canals.


I've average ear openings and this product just disappears in and is hard to get out!

Price


Decent price for 200 pairs of earplugs.

Packaging/appearance


Individual packaging of each pair is very handy.


I really like the individual packages they come in – i know they’re clear when i open them and makes it easy to keep a few pair...  Read More


The laser lite's seem very hit or miss on what sort of packaging you'll receive.


I like to grab a pack of a pair of earplugs for overnight trips so the lack of paired packaging was a disappointment.

Competitiveness


Much better than anything i have found in any store!


These are also good for when you want to double up with earplugs and over the ear phones, like at a gun range or indy car race.

    Sound attenuation is just “ok” though and on my lawnmower or tractor these work best when ear muffs are also used

    I wear these at night because i haven’t found anything better but i can still hear when the cat meows asking to go out and as cats go she doesn’t have the loudest meow


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    They compress easily for insert into the ear canal and for me don’t exert any uncomfortable pressure


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I dont believe them to attenuate quite as well as the howard leights same rating so must just be me however the comfort and fit is far better for my ears
