Mack’s Slim Fit Soft Foam Earplugs, 7 Pair with Travel Case – Small Ear Plugs for Sleeping, Snoring, Traveling, Concerts, Shooting Sports and Power Tools | Made in USA

WOW, these actually work! I am very sensitive to loud noise, even when others tolerate it. I’ve tried multiple earplugs but these are the first ones that fit perfectly, are comfortable, keep the noise down AND are very economical.

I bought this for the shooting range. It has excellent noise-canceling performance, and it's very comfortable and soft to wear.

They may get stuck

These work well for blocking out my husband's snoring. I have little ears and they stay in place most of the night if I'm not tossing and turning all night. They do stick out a bit but that doesn't bother me. The best I've found for an adult with little ears. This is the second set I've bought because they actually work. They are comfortable as well

In my experience, earbuds usually hurt so I have hypothesis that I have small ear canals. I was surprised to find that these earbuds felt quite uncomfortable.I squished them down and held them into place… You know, this style takes like a minute or two to expand into place… And when they were uncomfortable I pulled them out and one of them was crimped like it had been folded over into itself. That surprised me; it has never happened before with normal sized foam earplugs.I think the little metal container is cute (totally reminds me of the little vials that used to hold cocaine in the 90s like in the movie LESS THAN ZERO) but I was a little disappointed it wasn't purple. It's a good silver though and honestly I don't even know if I'll ever use it but it's so cute I want to use it for something!I probably won't be keeping the purples. I bought small pack of both purple and pink to give them both ago and see if one of them fit better than the other. For me, the right fit is not purple.

The Mack's Slim Fit Soft Foam Earplugs are Wirecutter's Top Pick and I agree. I have tried a few brands and styles over the years and these are the best for comfort and ease of placement. I also have enjoyed using the aluminum case, which I use for traveling. It is lightweight but indestructible. I put in on the bedside table of whatever hotel I am staying in in case the need for earplugs arises. It's super easy to find in the dark, twist open and insert a pair of plugs without significantly disrupting whatever sleep state I might be in.

I like the purple ones, thank you. I’ve had two major hospital stints in the past 2 months for brain surgery so regulating noise is very important. A nurse recognized that I might do better with your pink ones ( they’re even smaller, called Mack’s dream girl) and gave me an unopened pair of her own; I love those as well. They are a perfect fit for my smaller ear openings and brought me quiet and peace in a chaotic overwhelming environment like ICU in my local hospital. They travel easy with the silver key chain fob, and are a great value for what you pay. A peaceful night sleep or even a short snooze during the day can be well aided by Mack’s plugs.

I am not sure who has ear canals this tiny. They mask nothing at all.
