Hearos Radical Protection Foam Ear Plugs, Hearing Protection, NRR 33, 12 Pair, Orange (5801)

These ear plugs work great! They’re soft, easy to insert, and block out noise really well. I use them for sleeping and they stay in all night without hurting my ears. Definitely my go-to brand — consistent quality and great value.

Hearos ruined their Xtreme (33db) ear plugs by making them smaller in every dimension and I'd been struggling to find a good replacement as I have long/large ear canals.FitThough these are slimmer than the Xtremes their longer profile actually allows me to block about the same amount of noise if I shove them far enough in my ear.ComfortIt's way less comfortable since I feel like I'm poking my inner ear, but it at least blocks enough noise. I might be generous with the 5 stars, but it's really the only thing I've found after trying countless other brands.Noise Blocking:If you can get the right fit, the noise blocking is comparable to the original Xtremes. I used them at concerts and in bed at night.Quality:They seem to last a tiiiny bit longer than the new formula Xtremes, but that means you just get 3-4 uses out of them. The originals you could use for weeks.ConclusionIf you're someone who liked the original Xtremes and can't find anything else, give these a try. Maybe you also just have a long ear canal.

Recently had to share a room with 2 other people and dreaded the thought of the resulting noise. Sleep is already difficult for me. Got some of these and swapped them out for a fresh pair every night (not necessary, but recommended). Over 42 consecutive nights, these ear plugs never failed to block out most of, if not all, of the distractions. Keep in mind- ear plugs do not necessarily stop the noise completely; they greatly mute it and block SOME of the sounds completely. Many things get through, however they are so faint that it's a nonissue. They almost always went in perfectly and stayed snug. I have worn other ear plugs for extended periods and over time they cause irritation. I was really surprised that these ear plugs never cause any discomfort at all. IMO the soft silicon plugs do a slightly better job, but they've always caused problems when worn for more than about 10-12 days at a time. Also, remember that at some point, no passive ear plugs will help.

Complaints that ear plugs are getting too small are correct on the Macks I ordered. These Hearos Iordered may be smaller than in the past but not necessarily "to small." I have an average ear canal and unlike others, these Heraos did not "disappear" uncomfortable into my ear like the macks. How far I slide these Hearos into my ear canal is defined more by me, not by the small size of the ear plugs for fear of sliding in too far. Four stars because they may be a bit too stiff for some, but they still have that added, flared "lip" on the outer side for better grip in pulling them out. You are still going to feel ear pressure and they are not going to cancel the sound of somone chopping fire wood in the next room. But I've found these the best so far for canceling the sound through my window from a stereo next door in the alleyway.

Very effective at blocking noise but did cause some ear pain.

Best ear plugs ever !!

Always highly consistent product that works as advertised!

Seemed to be too small and didn’t seal very well. I took them out and went back to my Mack’s, which is what I was trying to replace.
