3MEar Plugs, 30 Pairs/Box, E-A-R Classic 310-1060, Uncorded, Disposable, Foam, NRR 29, For Drilling, Grinding, Machining, Sawing, Sanding, Welding, 1 Pair/Pillow Pack

THE BEST EARPLUGS EVER!!! I moved to a new neighborhood where construction on a new housing/building development began shortly after I was finally all settled into my new home. Needless to say, I first tried these amazing earplugs because the jackhammers nearby started pounding the ground so loud and so early in the morning that I can't even believe it's legal for them to start that early and I wasn't able to get much, if any, sleep because I tend to work really late shifts and I was constantly being woken up by the blaring noise of the chaos outside my bedroom - at least not until I purchased a pair of these wonderful noise cancelling plugs! They fit comfortably in my ear (not too far in and they never fall out while I'm sleeping) and they block out SO MUCH NOISE that I no longer wake up in a state of panic to the abrupt clanking of the jackhammers and construction going on outside of my place. I've never been so happy with such a small purchase before! I can't praise these little sanity-savers enough. It seems like each pair lasts me for about a week or so of sleep (I mostly use them for Sunday through Thursday nights because the jackhammers appear to have Saturday and Sunday mornings off) and I would strongly recommend them to anybody who needs just a really comfortable set of earplugs that you practically forget are in your ear when you fall asleep, especially if you have startlingly or disturbing noises that are preventing you from getting enough rest to function well on a day to day basis. All in all, I give this particular brand and set of earplugs a 5-star review because they seem to do a MUCH BETTER job than the others I have tried in the past that use to fall out of my ear while I slept (thus, defeating the purpose of trying to block the noise coming from the morning jackhammers). I will definitely continue buying these because this construction is going to continue for at least another 6-8 months - but, at least I have these handy little earplugs to keep me well rested in the mornings while it's all happening! :D3M E-A-R Classic Earplugs 310-1060, Uncorded in Pillow Pack (1 pair per pillow pack, 30 pair per box)

I've always like these earplugs because they stay firmly in my little ears, the other kind that are more cone shaped fall out. Plus the block noise well.

At first, the system told me the 3M specific earplug product was not available. I searched about 10 minutes, then found it. I received the correct brand. Delivery was very quick. Unfortunately it was put in a paper package with a paperback book, and the book cover got bent a little. Not bad but I think the book should have been wrapped. All else OK. Thanks.

Tried lots of the newer tapered "sparkplug" styles over the years. Many were too soft and wouldn't stay put in my ear canals (larger than average, I guess?) Liked the Hearos (larger, firmer material) but local WalGrn store replaced with their house brand. Looked similar in color, but they hurt my ears. BAD. Not from too tight, but felt like a chemical burn when I took them out in the morning. Gave it a few days, but they consistently left my ear canals stinging when I took them out. Weird. Also read reviews on many others here, and notice a current trend of complaints of recent material formulation changes, resulting in poor performance and disappointments in many of the competitors.Virtually all I've tried had a 32 db rating, so I disregarded these old originals, as they only tout a 29 db rating. I wear them to sleep every night, and bore a hole out of another set to fasten to earbuds for listening/hearing protection in my day job (woodworking). This means I'm wearing ear protection a minimum of 8-14 hours out of 24, so I want the absolute best performance possible.Just received these 3m classics, figuring I'd give them a shot again, as it's been years since they were locally available.Results: Slept through a thunderstorm last night (no clue it happened), while my wife suffers lack of sleep today, (she doesn't like to wear ear plugs). Also made a new set for my earbuds in the shop today. Though rated at 29 db, they seem to block the hissy and screechy 2.5kHz through 6kHz MUCH better than any of these "new and improved" versions I've been trying to work with for years. THAT is what counts, more than any EPA NRR numbers.Bear in mind, like any personal product, they are subject to user's fit and application, but I can say for the price and performance I'm asking of them, I'll be sticking with these now. Simple, reasonably priced, and wonderfully effective for me. Very distinct difference in noise reduction from all the other brands I've tried.Highly recommended.

These fit my ear very well. My favorite was the old Fleets Noise cancelling, which they have discontinued-they make an inferior uncomfortable product now. The 3M are my go to now. They block the noise very well, and are comfortable in my ear, no matter how much pressure I use to insert them.

Excellent product. I like the way it expands in your ear to fit comfortably and works well.

Great for sleeping, no more noise
