I needed earplugs due to noisy neighbors. I tried different ones (including Mack's Ultra Soft Foam Earplugs, Flents Quiet Please, and some Hearos earplugs), but the Drift to Sleep are definitely the best so far. The Flents appealed to me because they are shorter, and I sleep on my side, so I figured they would be more comfortable, and I was wondering if the Drift to Sleep might be too long - but in reality, their length is not a problem at all. In fact, they are the most comfortable earplugs I have tried so far. With other earplugs, my ear canals would hurt in the mornings, but not with the Drift to Sleep. All else being equal, if you make earplugs shorter, you have to make them more dense in order to achieve the same level of noise reduction - and making them more dense increases their firmness, which makes them less comfortable. The Drift to Sleep strike a perfect balance. The level of noise reduction is excellent for my situation, that is, to block out the noise from upstairs neighbors who occasionally drop things on the hardwood floor. Normally, this would wake me up every time, but with the Drift to Sleep I don't hear this noise anymore - and in the rare event that I do hear something, it's so soft and distant that it doesn't bother me at all. But I can still hear my alarm clock in the mornings. Perfect. A little side tip for you: I use an iPhone app called "Progressive Alarm Clock" (by Spotlight Six Software) - you can choose from different Tibetan singing bowls, and the app wakes you up gently: it starts out very soft and then gradually gets louder and more frequent. There are a number of different patterns you can choose from. And for peace of mind, it has a "sure wake" feature that is pretty much guaranteed to wake you up if everything else didn't. Check the app out, it's great. So much better than the usual alarm clocks that give you a heart attack. (By the way, I am not affiliated with the developers in any way. Just a happy user.) Can you get cheaper earplugs than the Drift to Sleep? Sure. But these work great and are very comfortable - I don't know about you, but that's worth it to me. And let me tell you: you can easily use them for multiple days. I've tried it. They remain comfortable, and the noise reduction remains the same. I recommend you try them out and see for yourself. I haven't looked back since I've discovered the Drift to Sleep. One last thing: I could have sworn that when I bought these (on 3/17/2016), the Amazon listing said they have a noise reduction rating (NRR) of 29 dB. Because I remember thinking to myself "Hm, they have a different shape and length than the Flents Quiet Please, yet they have the same NRR. I wonder how they compare in terms of comfort of wearing." - the box they came in and the package insert don't specify the NRR, so I can't verify that they have a NRR of 29 dB. Maybe I'm wrong. But I noticed that one of the images on the Amazon listing now says they have a NRR of 33 dB. Now, if I am NOT wrong, and they DID have a NRR of 29 dB, and now they have changed the earplugs to bring them to a NRR of 33 dB, then obviously I can't tell you if this has changed anything about how comfortable they are. Mine are great, that's all I can say. I hope this review was helpful!

Best ear plugs. Discovered them in Europe after I realized I forgot to bring. They are comfortable and really drown out most noises.

Comfortable and effective. Not as much noise- blocking as I’d like, but works well enough.

These earplugs work amazingly well. I wore them to an indoor live show event with loud bass-heavy music and a huge crowd. They completely protected me from ear pain, overstimulation, and the ringing ears you get after concerts. The only downside is that they work really well at blocking the range of sounds of most people's voices - I had to keep popping them out when someone spoke to me, especially people with higher voices. I also appreciated that they expand in your ear faster than the more common orange foam ear plugs. I originally found out about them on a reddit thread for motorcyclists, so I figured they were solid. I will be spreading the gospel of these earplugs from now on!

Helped me get my sleep . I have used earplugs for a long time now and these are the best ones for my ears .Fit my ears snugly and I didn’t have to mess with them after I put them in my ears . Thicker larger ear canals work well .

I can’t tell you how many times these have saved my hearing- I don’t leave home without them and the little carrying case is perfect- went to a small venue to hear some music the other night but without the ear plugs my ears hurt!- these are great- you won’t be sorry if you order these

I struggle to get to sleep in the city. Over the years things like noisy neighbors and cars going by with their music blasting to loud pedestrian traffic have wreaked havoc on my sleep. I have different methods for dealing with the noise such as sound machines and sleep headphones so I can listen to music while I sleep. But sometimes you just want a silent cocoon to retreat to. THESE EARPLUGS ARE FANTASTIC!!! They are soft and easy to use. You can even get a couple of uses from each pair. These would be great for travel or for working. And I like to make them available for guests. The one thing I would say is that they are too long and as a side sleeper the part that sticks out bothers me. This is easily rectified by trimming a bit off the flat (outer) end, that way they are more flush.
