Mack’s Ultra Soft Foam Earplugs, 7 Pair + Case – 33 dB Highest NRR, Comfortable Ear Plugs for Sleeping, Snoring, Travel, Concerts, Studying and Noise

Soft. Work great for sleeping

These are AMAZING! I bought them for the GRE as I am easily distracted and they blocked out noise completely!!! Highly recommend.

Unlike some foam earplugs these stay compressed while I insert them. Others spring back too fast making them difficult to get a good seal. These or 3M are my favorite. These are more cushiony than 3M if that makes a difference. The case they come with is very nice too.

I thought these were nice and soft. However, I thought they were ok in the way of cancelling noise. I tried two others (Dream Girl and Thermasoft) and I felt I couldn’t get any of them in my ears like the pictures described and all three stuck out further than my ear, so it was a bit uncomfortable. I tried each a few nights in a row in only the one ear facing up with the pillow buffering the rest of the noises (snoring husband and occasional airplanes) since I was nervous about damaging my eardrums (warning on package). I chose not to use any after trying them out, because I thought my ears felt like they needed to pop like on a plane ride in the morning. In order of what I thought worked best (all Mack’s):1. Thermasoft (though they weren’t the softest, they seemed to work the best) Muffled sounds, but could still hear some snoring. Didn’t hear the birds outside at 4:00 am in the morning.2. Ultrasoft (were soft, but didn’t work as well as above - heard more snoring)3. Dream Girl (didn’t do much at all for me)I’d like to learn more about how to fit them properly and how to avoid any damage before I’d try again.

Liked the on time performance and the carrying case!

These really are the best. They're really soft and easy to squish in. They aren't as long as most other earplugs, but they're still long enough that you can get them out of your ear. And they're just as good at blocking out sound as the best competitors.Did I mention that they're super-soft and comfortable compared to anything else? You can stop your search right now - you've found what you want with Mack's.

Pros -- Super soft, very comfortable, blends with many skin tones, cuts down noise, inexpensive. Really like the carrying case included.Cons -- Too soft? Fell out of my ears several times (went in well, but I may need the smaller size plugs).I may try the smaller ones (purple color, I believe?) to see if they fit better.

Don't waste your money, buy a different brand. Super soft, so soft you ruin them when you twist to get secure in your ears. I've used a ton of earplugs. These are by far the worst, barely mask sound.
