Moldex Pura-Fit Ear Plugs Tapered Single Patient Use Green 6800, 200 Ct

For the past ten years, I have been using Hearos Ultimate Softness NRR 32 earplugs. They were excellent in shutting out unwanted sounds and noise - I live in an old apartment building with some energetic & night-owl neighbours - super-comfortable to wear and very well priced.Until I ordered a refill, and noticed they had been redesigned. The new EZ Grip that Hearos had come up with, felt very soft and foamy, with an extended part that protruded from my ears - not really comfortable when laying on your side. And the worst part: they did not shut out noise and sounds the way the former flat back earplugs did. I felt horrified!I did two things: write to Hearos about their new nightmare product. And instantly went searching for alternative brands with mostly 5 star reviews. That's when I found the Moldex 6800 Pura-Fit earplugs. It felt like a bit of a gamble, given that you can only buy these in 200 pairs. But I was desperate to have an alternative. Thankfully, I still had some Hearos earplugs left.When the Moldex earplugs arrived, I tried them immediately. I noticed that they were a bit bigger, and the material felt a little harder than Hearos. This made me worried they might be painful to use on a daily basis. It was a bit getting used to. You can squeeze and roll them tight, and because the material is a little more sturdy, it takes a bit longer before they expand inside your ear. But once inserted, they feel perfect and the noise reduction is even better than Hearos. Moldex has an NRR 33, which is definitely noticeable.I did have to try out my alarm clock volume to see if I could still hear it well. My clock radio is set to classical music, and I can hear it faintly but well and wake up to it.I am sorry to have had to leave Hearos. And if they would come back with their old design - which I heard they are planning to - I would want to return to them as having been a happy customer for such a long time (I was able to get a complete refund for the EZ Grip disappointment).But I am so, so glad that I was able to find Moldex. And with their 200 pair box, I will be provided with silent nights for the coming three to four years. These earplugs keep functioning well and remain clean for at least one week, sometimes even longer.As a last remark for people with snoring partners: Moldex might actually be a better solution, with their highly effective NRR 33 noise reduction level.

I've used 10 pairs of Mack's ultra soft foam (new design) and I have pretty small ears, so I'll base out my review with comparison to Mack's. Compared to the Mack's ultra soft foam earplugs, these are tad slight bigger (very small difference). These last way longer (I use them for 7 days each pair, but they can last way longer). They are definitely more comfortable because they are easier to insert deeper as they do not inflate as fast as Mack's. Mack's usually last about 3~4 days before drying out and they just inflate too fast to insert when dried out. Also, when Mack's dry out, it doesn't block as much sound as new pairs. However, Moldex earplugs even after a week of every night use are good as new. Just make sure to keep them in an air-sealed container when not in use, so they don't dry out. A 200-pair box can last you 2.6 years (7 day use for each pair) assuming you store them in an air-sealed box somewhere to prevent them from drying out. I would definitely recommend these to anyone looking for cheap and durable earplugs.If anyone is curious on how much you can hear, you can faintly hear if someone is speaking loud right beside you. No noise from conversation outside a room even with door open. Once you using earplugs, you just can't sleep without them. Sound of silence has never been this good. It's too worth it to miss out on a good night's sleep.

I've had to wear earplugs to bed at night since moving into this house 3+ years ago due to noisy barking dogs. I was using other brands and thought they were good enough, I tried every brand I found available in local stores.My husband went on a tour for work and was given a packet of these which he did not use so I gave them a try and they are amazing. These block out more sound then any other brand I have tried and they do fit well inside my smaller female ear. (Some brands are so wide that it is hard to fit in my ear.) Unable to purchase these locally I bought them in bulk size from Amazon and they come in little packets of two. They wind up being less expensive than small packages purchased locally in retail stores.I'm sleeping even better now because these block even more sound out. I can't hear the barking dogs or my husband snoring or my husband's breathing. I can't hear my young adult son when he comes in at night after I am asleep. These have helped me greatly when staying in hotels, at a rekative's house and also while staying at two different friends apartments in New York City last month, to drown out sound of lots of traffic at night. I am sensitive to sounds and have always been easily awakened by noises and often when not using your plugs have trouble falling asleep in hotel rooms due to the different sound of the air-conditioner or heating unit and sounds from people coming down the hallway, closing hotel doors, etc. I hear none of that with these earplugs so can get a deep sleep and great night's rest using them.I read these five stars = I Love Them!

We purchased these earplugs because we go shooting quite a bit and didn't want to continually buy earplugs at the range. We've used them for quite some time now and can say that they work really well. They are comfortable, easy to use, and block sound really well. The only drawback is that they don't do well if you need to remove them, then re-insert them (like when taking a quick break, needing to talk with someone, etc). They don't seem to rebound well on the second use. I'm not sure why this is. We have used a different brand in the past and those didn't seem to have this problem. We typically need to wait a little longer before they expand to fill the ear canal, or simply use another set if we're in a hurry. It's not a huge deal as we purchased so many, but just something to take note of if you plan on removing and re-inserting them during a day of use.
