   The best earplugs money can buy.
   These earplugs are awesome. I am writing this review after 1 day of night use of these earplugs. Here’s what I would like to share:-Procedure and Method off inserting the earplugs correctly:- Clean your hands before you use these earplugs. Afterwards, take one earplug in your hand. You have to then apply pressure on it with your fingers and thumbs evenly by rolling it and shrinking it to the size of a cylinder or a bullet. Take care while rolling and shrinking it. Do not apply too much pressure while rolling or else creases or wrinkles might form on the earplug, which can decrease it’s sound blocking efficacy, instead press slowly and carefully till it forms the desired cylinder/bullet shape. After the desired shape is formed, immediately lift the top of your ear to enlarge the inner opening of your ear and insert and push the earplug into the ear deep down but slowly. If you only insert the earplug halfway or only a little bit then it will not be able to do it’s job properly, so push the earplug deep and subsequently hold the earplug from the outside for a minute. By holding the earplug in this position, it allows the earplug to inflate itself inside the ear canal and totally seal it from the inside to block the outside noses effectively. Follow this same process for inserting the second earplug too. Insert the earplugs one at a time. Remember, once the desired shape is formed after pressing and rolling the earplug, without wasting a second, immediately insert it in the ear or else it will start inflating once again in your hand.Sound blocking efficacy:- I kept these earplugs in my ears for the whole night. They are very soft and after inserting them in the ears, it didn’t feel too heavy or irritating. With passing time, I am pretty sure, I will get used to them, having them inside my ears. After inserting the earplugs, all outside noises were blocked by almost 90 to 95%. I could barely hear the blaring noises outside my house which falls on a busy road. Inside my room, I couldn’t hear the humming noise of my air conditioner. My spouse snores at night in a medium range. Being a light sleeper, I used to wake up due to this snoring noise but after putting these earplugs, approximately 85% of the snoring noise got blocked. What I heard was a very faint and negligible snoring noise and that too got completely blocked when I slept on my sideways. Basically, I am a sideways sleeper and this helped me too. I woke up in the morning feeling refreshed and all I could do is to thank these wonderful earplugs for doing it’s job perfectly.Procedure for taking out the earplugs from the ears:- While taking out these earplugs from your ears, make sure that you don’t pull them out directly and rapidly or else you may damage your ears. Instead, take them out by twisting and turning them slowly. Once they are out, put them in a seperate sealed small container. Do not put them in the plastic container in which you received them or else they will get mixed with the other unused earplugs. As per what I have researched, one pair of these earplugs will last for atleast 5 to 6 uses which makes them economical.Precautions:- 1) After you take out one pair from the packed plastic container for use, reseal the container properly with the foil provided and close the cap of the plastic container tightly so as to not let air pass inside the container or else the unused earplugs inside might get spoiled. 2) After using the earplugs, do not wash them with water or any other liquid or try to clean them in any way. Just put them seperately in a small, sealed container meant only for storing them. 3) once you feel that the noises are not getting blocked well and the earplugs are not holding tight inside the ears and are falling off continuously even after inserting them properly, then it’s time to take out a new pair for use.In all, personally I feel that these earplugs by Mack’s are the best ones amongst the lot. Always use these ultrasoft earplugs only as they are very soft and hence it doesn’t hurt or irritate your ears.PS:- If you don’t follow the correct method of inserting these earplugs into your ears then you will not get the desired result and then you will end up in only criticizing the earplugs for it’s non performance, so kindly follow the method as shown by me above. You can also find these instructions on the label of the plastic container in which these earplugs are packed.I hope this information will help everyone who want to buy good earplugs.Regards.

   Works very well for sleep…
   My sleep quality has improved amazingly with these earplugs – cuts off lots of noise.Very soft, and once inserted, stays there the whole night. Been using for 3 nights, and I am quite impressed.

   Good quality, comfortable ear plugs
   These are really good quality, soft and comfortable ear plugs. In my personal experience not quite as good as the blue ‘original’ ones from the same brand – for some weird reason the latter isn’t available in India. These are still very good though, way superior to most other ear plugs and I tried many.

   Perfect for light sleeper
   This is perfect for light sleeper.Firstly you’ll feel little bit uncomfortable but after using 3-4 days you will get use to. This will resist Fan, birds and other low pitch sound. Also reduce 50% sound if you are in sleeper coach of train. One pair may be used for month or more if you take care of it properly. Price is little bit high but 100 pairs are worth it.

   Excellent product: Works as advertised.
   This is great product, I can use the same set multiple times. While ordering I was worried that 50 is too small a number and I will need to reorder in a shprt amount of time, but its not running out at the rate I was initially thinking.From typical indian environment pov, it blocks fan and ac noises (running at 3 speed setting), mechanical keyboard clacking, noises from your upstair neighbours who move their furniture around couple of time a day.

   Not too good, not too bad; great VFP but no match for EAR Classic
   I’ve been using earplugs for 25+ years, so I should know: These earplugs (Mack’s) are great value for money but.. OK, let’s see:Pros: (a) High noise cancellation when you push them all the way in (b) Contoured, so it’s easy to push them inCons: (a) Even though the material is soft, they press *way* too hard against the ear canal if you get them all the way in!! (b) If you try, say, inserting only half and a bit, the noise cancellation drops drastically. (c) The material is *smooth* on the outside, which shouldn’t ideally be the case; what happens is they “stick” to your ear—so you need to be really careful and slow when you’re pulling them out. (d) The plus in the pack of 50 are not consistent; you might pick two and they’ll be fine—and the next two will be too tight or uncomfortable or something like that.On the whole, a great buy *depending on* the sensitivity of your ear canal and the level of noise cancellation you need—so until you try them, you won’t know if your money is being well spent. For some people, these might be too uncomfortable; other people will do just fine with lower-noise-cancellation earplugs.My take? There’s no beating E-A-R Classic. I used them for a couple of decades before my stock ran out; I bought these just because they’re contoured, but… the contouring doesn’t seem to help.

   Works very well, best in comfort and sound dampening
   I’ve tried silicon ear plugs before.These are far better in terms of comfort and sound dampening ability.Be careful when removing, it should be removed slowly.Read the instructions on the back of the box, you’ll be fine.A bit expensive, but worth it. I reuse it until it becomes too waxy or too soft, and store it in a small box when not using to keep it clean.After 6 months:Still find it very useful. I live very close to the road (listen to the video). One issue, inside of ear feels moist after removing them. Could be sweat. Rinse with soap foam and warm water when you shower. Makes it dry and feels clean. Q tips don’t work to remove moisture. Doctor the same for ear cleaning without soap.

   Tenho TDAH e toda forma de barulho me tira a atenção, mesmo medicado.Já experimentei diversas marcas e sem dúvidas a Macks é a melhor.A Macks possui uma variedade grande de protetores e confesso que esse foi o mais eficiente! Reduz muito o barulho do ambiente e facilita bastante a concentração.O ponto negativo dele em comparação com o verde (meu segundo preferido), é justamente a durabilidade.O verde consigo utilizar mais vezes antes que ele comece a ficar ineficiente, porém esse veda melhor do que o verde.Minha dica é comprar logo o pote grande (50 pares) pra ter tampão pro ano inteiro (considerando o uso de um par por semana).

    These are great, when i roll them up to stick in my ears they don’t instantly puff up like cheaper earplugs, which gives me more time to get them into my ears. They block out my downstairs neighbours bass-y hard stomping(the guy stomps so loud it shakes my pill bottles)completely and they also block out the noise from vehicles on the busy road next to my house, these did cause my ears a bit of discomfort after a week of wearing every night but i have very narrow ear canals(i used to get water stuck in my ears when i went swimming as a kid), these plugs ARE very comfortable and soft but i should have gotten Mack’s smaller earplugs. If you have normal ears or are just gonna wear them for short durations it’ll be fine. They are way better than the earplugs i bought from Shoppers drug mart and way cheaper too. They are well made and come in a nice flip top container. They are very soft and squish down very very small so it’s easier to get them into my ears and they stay squished down for longer than the Shoppers earplugs which gives me more time to get them into my ears. Mack’s makes a wide variety of different earplugs and i feel like you can’t go wrong with these if you have normal sized ear canals, i don’t, but i should’ve bought Mack’s smaller plugs instead but that was my fault and i won’t take stars off for something that i did.TLDR: These are great and they block out all the sounds that wake a light sleeper like me while i sleep. They are cheaper and better than the Shoppers drug mart earplugs too.

    I am super sensitive to light and sound, so need to eliminate everything that disturbs my sleep!I have tried many many ear plugs made of different material, trust me even the most expensive stuff made of Titanium by Flare, but these Mack’s are THE BEST, super comfy and most effective in blocking the sound for all size of ear canals…have given a pair to most of my friends and they’re all super happy with them;)

    Der Wahnsinn!! Habe einen ultra-starken Schnarcher als Partner, der seinen “Schlafrüssel” (CPAP-Gerät) nicht immer trägt u vor allem auch nicht mit in Urlaub nimmt. Diese Stöpsel sind jeden Cent wert!! Ich höre gar kein oder nur ein seeehr leises schnarchen. Habe schon einige Stöpsel ausprobiert, die hier sind mit Abstand die besten!! Tun auch nicht weh.Anwendung:Zwischen den Fingerspitzen rollen, in den Gehörgang einführen, Fingerspitze leicht drauf u bissel warten bis es sich aufgeplustert hat – fertig.Tipp: mit der rechten Hand über den Kopf zum linken Ohr greifen u etwas nach oben ziehen, dann lässt sich der Stöpsel besser positionieren.
