Howard Leight by Honeywell Maximum Lite Low Pressure Disposable Foam Earplugs, 200-Pairs (LPF-1), Green

I absolutely LOVE these earplugs. I've been using these for 12 years now (if not more). They're my go-to earplugs and I will never switch. I've tried other earplugs, but these are by far the best and most comfortable. My dad used to bring me home boxes of earplugs when he worked for Boeing, but now that he's retired I have to buy them. LOL. But I got to try several different kinds and these are my favorite. I personally use them for sleeping because any little noise wakes me up. In the beginning when I first started using earplugs to sleep, I tried those yellow square earplugs that are really common, the silicone kind that are reusable (the kind that you can use for swimming), and others but they were uncomfortable and didn't work. I also kept loosing them. Every time I would take one out to do something, I could never find where I left it. Then my dad gave me some of these and that's when I found out you can get earplugs with a string/cord attached to them so you don't loose them. Ever since I found out about these I have never changed. They're so convenient. When I get into bed at night, I open a pack up and tie it around my neck until I'm ready to go to bed. Now I'm not loosing them constantly. And they fit my ear perfectly, seal well and block the sounds out so I don't hear a thing. I mean, something really loud you're going to hear. There's no earplugs out there that's going to block everything. But if you're looking to block the noise of someone snoring, people talking in another room, the TV on, dogs barking, etc. these are the earplugs for you. They slowly expand, too, so it doesn't hurt your ears. And if you want to sleep on your side with them, you can. They have never hurt when I've tried to sleep on my side, so it's always a plus when they're pain free. They never fall out during the night either. There is one big CON that I hate and I think it sucks and isn't fair and that's the price of the corded earplugs. For 100 corded earplugs it costs $33.90. For the regular, un-corded earplugs you get 200 pairs for $34.00. So, for $0.10 cents more, you get an additional 100 pairs of earplugs. I don't understand how adding a cord to earplugs can cost that much more. This is really my only complaint with these. Even though I'm upset about this, I definitely recommend buying these 👂 earplugs! 👂 You won't regret it once you feel how comfortable they are and how much noise they block. 🌟 5 Stars! 🌟 I will continue to purchase from this seller like I always do when I run out of earplugs. Thank you! 💟 Sarah 💟

I've tried several varieties of earplugs so far, and these are by far the most comfortable. I've previous used Hearos, Stanley, silicone plugs, and a few different Howard Leight plugs, but these Max Lite plugs work far better than the others. Perhaps it is because I've had surgery on my ears, but my canals are smaller than they should be, and most earplugs put too much pressure on the inside of the canals and I end up with extreme pain and soreness after a few hours of wearing them. These, on the other hand, can be comfortably worn for 8+ hours when i am out riding my motorcycle. They seem to reduce the wind and engine noise much better than the standard plugs I had tried. These are rated 30 NRR, whereas most others I tried were in the 20-24 range. It is also convenient that these are packaged by pair, so I can keep several of them in my tank bag without worrying about them getting dirty. I can still hear other cars, emergency vehicles, and my bluetooth helmet speakers perfectly, just not at hearing-damaging levels. The material itself is quite soft, and does not cause an itchy feeling to develop no matter how long they are worn. My brother, who has no issue wearing standard ear plugs, gave these a try and found them to be more comfortable than other Howard Leight ear plugs, and has now switched to these for extended motorcycle riding. Definitely purchase these if standard earplugs cause you pain.

Howard Leight Max Lite earplugs I've used the orange Max 1 plugs in the past and always got a splitting headache if I used them for long periods of time. It wasn't until I read online that the Max 1 was designed for large ear canals that I realized it was my problem. I was handed a pair of new Max Lite (green) earplugs to take a standardized licensing exam. Immediately I noticed how much softer and pliable they were compared to the Max 1. In addition to that, the Max Lite plugs never gave me a headache even after using them continuously for over 6 hours. I kept them and still use them after 3 years. They have a slightly lower NRR than the Max 1, at 30 dB versus 32/33 dB. I used to wash my foam earplugs, but I found that it causes them to expand too quickly if you dry them near heat. It might be a good idea to test wash a pair and let them air dry cool to see if it causes them to expand faster than normal. Otherwise, the Max Lite plugs are extremely easy to use and fit my smaller ear canals perfectly. For larger ear canals, I suppose it might feel "looser" but they are still fairly large earplugs. For medium ear canals, you might want to consider the Howard Leight Laser Lite pink/yellow plugs. The 200 pair uncorded plugs are delivered in a cardboard box dispenser with an instruction booklet. Each pair of earplugs are dispensed in an easy to rip open plastic bag. I don't recommend the cords because they can transmit noise/vibration into your earplug. When I am at the range or out on the sea, I can always hear the wind wisping through the cord on my neck and it gets transmitted directly to my ears. It's convenient to hold the plugs in a dynamic environment, but if you're riding a motorcycle or at the range, the cord can get in your way or cause more problems with noise/vibration transmission. I really hope garages, workshops, military units, and other industrialized organizations buy more of these earplugs instead of the horrible yellow earplugs or the other junk that are uncomfortable to use. Overall: 5/5 stars

These earplugs are the bomb! I engage in many loud activities (drumming, motorcycling, mowing, chipping, etc.) and these work great for everything. Good fit and plenty of noise reduction. I have fairly narrow ear canals and they slide right in after a good roll (unlike many other types I've tried). Even easier if you wet it down a little. Once expanded they provide an excellent seal to protect your hearing. Give 'em a try!

I work at a job where our employer is required to provide hearing protection, and over the years I've tried out several different types of ear plugs since they don't always provide the same kind. So far, these have been the only ones that don't make my ears hurt after an hour or two. They still block the same amount of noise as far as I can tell, but they are so soft and the pressure from the foam is so minimal that I can hardly feel them when they're in, even after wearing them for an 8 hour shift. It's great to be able to get a big box of them from Amazon, since one of my daughters is a light sleeper and requested ear plugs to help her sleep better through the night. I knew these were the most comfortable ear plugs that I've used, so I ordered a box for her and she said that she's able to sleep through the night with them in without any discomfort.

I mainly use these while I'm riding my motorcycle, to keep wind noise down. And they work great for that. Even at highway speeds, they keep the white noise down to a tolerable level. I have trouble getting some of the larger earplugs into my ear, but these fit fine. It can take a try or two on my left ear, but once they're in, they stay in. I can pull my helmet on and off without them coming loose, as long as I've got them fully in to begin with. The wider base is probably a good idea; I can't imagine these getting stuck in my ear, unlike some designs. And, as I said, it doesn't seem to get in the way, when the plugs are fully inserted. I can't comment how good they are for anything but motorcycle riding. They're comfortable for that, at least, and keep out the noise I'm trying to keep out, while still letting me hear sirens and traffic noises. They aren't as totally silencing as some earplugs, and they're not as good at getting wind noise either. But they certainly work well enough, and that's a tradeoff I'm willing to make for the fit and comfort.

I have tried several different brands from the drugstore because I sleep with earplugs in due to my husband's snoring. I only found one brand that was decent and didn't cause a lot of pain (Pretty in Pink). As a woman with small ear canals, this was a big problem, and even the "good" ones still caused pain by morning on several occasions. They also didn't last long and lost their elasticity quickly. Then, I got a pair of these Max Lite plugs with an eye mask I purchased. I tried them and liked them so much that I dug the little plastic bag they came in out of the garbage so that I could find the brand name and order more. I've been using these for several weeks now and have had no pain due to the "low pressure" foam. They do a great job at sealing out noise - better than any of the previous brands I've used. They also retain their elasticity well which makes it easy to re-use them without having to open a new package all the time. They roll up tight for easy insertion into small ears night after night. Although you have to buy a large quantity, I think it is totally worth it. Plug for plug, these are much cheaper than buying them a few pairs at a time from the drugstore. Plus, I like that they are individually packaged by the pair. That makes it easy to throw a handful into a suitcase, keep an extra pair in my purse, etc. Great product. Can't recommend enough.

I've been wearing some sort of foam hearing protection for decades. At first it was in my job setting, and then later my adventures on my motorcycle. Not only are these foam earplugs cost-effective, if you spend some time doing research and also find good quality foam earplugs are even more effective than headphones. Understand, that earplugs and most other insert-able hearing protection helps reduce decimal levels and high-frequency levels. They do not totally eliminate noise altogether. Help your hearing, if by chance you are involved in a noisy situation such as lawn mowing, motorcycling like I am, and any other loud outdoor activity these are for you!
