Mack’s Snore Blockers Soft Foam Earplugs, 50 Pair – 32 dB High NRR, 37 dB SNR – Comfortable Ear Plugs for Sleeping, Snoring, Loud Noise and Travel

SUMMARY I use these often and they have beat out my old "go to" brand to help me get a better nights sleep. If you're expecting complete noise cancellation then you probably haven't used earplugs before...but it does a good job. If you know how to put them in your ear correctly (squish and proper angle) they fit and fill well. As with all earplugs like this it is hit or miss sometimes but these are the best I've used so far...the best balance of them all between comfort and noise prevention. The topper is the presentation and storage of these, top notch by comparison. Will order these again...recommended. PROS Ease of Use: Squish (in a rolling format) and pop in your ear at the right angle to let them expand. It can be difficult to get in the ear if you get a wrong angle and miss per say. But the majority of the time I have no issues. Storage/Presentation: Comes in a plastic bottle with a flip top lid that works great with a shake or two to get a couple out. All the brands I've used in the past have had at most a ziplock like little bag for storage. This is much more convenient and usable. Color: The neon yellow/green color is great, easy to spot if you drop them or they come off in the night. Other brands I've used are a tannish color that happened to match our carpet close enough...leading to a few lost and later foot squish discoveries. Nice little change I didn't know I'd appreciate. Noise Prevention: My test is to be in my bathroom with the fan on. Plop them in and listen to the sound of the fan disappear. These work great and drown it out completely. You can still slightly hear snoring and I doubt any fire alarms or loud noises would be blocked out...but it nulls it enough that I sleep just fine. As said in the summary, one of the best I've found and my current top choice. I've had ones that block noise a little better...but at the cost of comfort and much more ear pain. CONS Sore Ears: This is not unique to these, but as with all earplugs I've tried...after repeated use or just after a full night they can make your ears a little sore. These do however do a good job of limiting that pain as they have a good mix between firm and soft.

Comfortable. Blocks out noise pretty good but not completely so you can hear your alarm. I've slept better since starting to use them. I've spent a lot of money on special earplugs over the years but these have the best so far. I'll buy them again.

My husband's snoring has significantly disrupted my sleep, leading to considerable frustration. Despite the use of nasal strips, the issue persisted. To mitigate the impact of these sleepless nights, I began using earplugs. While initially hesitant, I found the selected earplugs to be exceptionally comfortable, and I was pleasantly surprised by the marked improvement in my sleep quality. Although the earplugs did not entirely eliminate all noise, their effectiveness in reducing the disturbance was substantial, and I now rely on them for restful sleep.

I am giving this 5 stars because they 100% block out the snoring partner. I say they work a little too well in that if you do not remove them per the instructions on the back of the bottle, it could potentially pull out skin/create raw, aggravated spots in the ear canal. Since removing them properly, I have not had any issue. This is my second order. The decibel level rating is not the highest on the market, but these are the best ear plugs I have found for snoring so far and I've religiously worn ear plugs for sleeping for 15+ years.

I use these everyday and are a must for noisy job sites. I know it says it's for snoring but are more comfortable for wearing for hours.

I have often bought Mack's purple and beige earplugs (the ones for small ears and the ultra soft kind) in sets of 50 from this site. It's cost effective because you can buy just 12 pair or so from the grocery store for nearly $10 or so. Mack's other earplugs I've tried are all very soft and extraordinarily comfortable for long term wear, suitable for sleeping a whole night, completely pain free. The foam itself in those plugs is much different from the foam used in ordinary pharmacy earplugs sold at Rite Aid or Walgreens, which is so hard and hurts a lot (!!! so painful) when it expands. The harder foam earplugs (and the soft ones with a bell shape that expands a ton at the ear entrance) are basically only suitable for short term use, such as when mowing the lawn with an older (loud) style gasoline mower or an electric leaf blower. I bought this type of green earplug because it was labeled as innovative (the hole in the end) and I trusted Mack's earplugs to be high quality. Well, I was super upset when I used it to sleep for a night. The foam is actually relatively hard (about halfway across between the hardness of cheap pharmacy brand earplugs and other soft Mack's earplugs), and my ears were in so much pain when I removed them in the morning that I wanted to cry. You know, that feeling when you remove and earplug and you feel like someone has used a drill on your head? It hurts so much, and the pain lasts for a while. I contacted customer service and they said it was eligible to return since it caused me pain. Tbh, my painful experience with harder foam earplugs makes me want to simply pay a little more money to buy the permanent style earplugs from the famous brand Loop (which my doctor recommended to me). It's way more cost effective to buy a single set of expensive earplugs for between $25 to $60 than to buy a set of 50 disposable earplugs several times a year for $15... not to mention more environmentally friendly. As someone who has been using foam earplugs to sleep since my college days in 2004, I can honestly say I wasted so much money on disposable earplugs over the years, I could have long paid for a few concert tickets to Muse and BTS! Don't be like me, invest in a permanent earplug, especially if you can't sleep without complete silence.

So these do block out pretty much all noise when sleeping. I could very faintly hear the thunderous snores of my husband when I used these particular ear plugs. However, after wearing them for a few hours my ears would start to hurt enough to wake me up to pull them out. I'd try different depths in my ears or insert them at different angles, but I was still waking up with my ears hurting. In the end I decided to purchase a different, softer type of ear plug that does get the job done and block out enough noise to be able to sleep next to another loudly sleeping human. TLDR: these block out the noise, but hurt if you have small/sensitive ears.

Functions better than any other earplug. Because the back has the hole, seems to form better and easier to fit into ears. As a household, we keep this in stock. A must when traveling.

Ces bouchons d’oreille sont globalement satisfaisants. Ils sont confortables, faciles à mettre en place, et ils atténuent bien les bruits, notamment pour dormir ou réduire les nuisances sonores pendant la nuit. Il faut toutefois rester réaliste : ils ne bloquent pas tout complètement. Les bruits forts ou très proches restent perceptibles, même s’ils sont clairement diminués. Pour les ronflements ou les bruits ambiants modérés, ils font bien le travail, mais il ne faut pas s’attendre à une isolation totale. Au final, bon produit, efficace dans une certaine limite, et utile si l’on cherche surtout à réduire le bruit plutôt qu’à le supprimer totalement.

Very comforatble, but doesn't reduce noise enough. -32dB ? No way

Useful for people who want block noise while sleeping ,very comfortable.

عزل صوتي مميز انصح بها

Son tan perfectos que no se por donde empezar. He utilizado tapones de todo tipo y todos me molestaban al dormir y escasamente reducían el ronquido de mi pareja. Me estaba volviendo loca por no poder dormir. Ahora duermo perfecto. Son muy cómodos y dan un silencio impresionante. Los super super recomiendo
