 Excellent for Commutes on Trains, Subways, Etc. November 12, 2008
As a daily commuter on Chicago's El, I found myself realizing how much I reading I could get done when the train was quiet. By this, I don't just mean light reading such as cheesy Robert Jordan fantasy novels; I mean heavy stuff like Kant--stuff I actually had to think about in order to comprehend it.
After forgetting my iPod and using earplugs (which I had in my coat pocket from a weekend of target practice with a relative), I was seriously amazed by how quiet it was on the train.
A caveat: I seem to remember those earplugs (which were also orange) as being better ones than these, although they're probably more likely to be at a specialized store. I first bought the Howard Leight LL1 Laser Lite Earplugs, but found they were too small for my ear canals. While noises were muffled with those, there didn't really seem to be much point in wearing them. Those earplugs do, however, have an advantage in that they're easier to take out. They were also ever so slightly more comfortable.
I then bought these earplugs, however, and was happy to learn that they largely shut out the world. I was able to ignore all the people yakking on their cell phones as though they were in a field in Montana, the noise of the train moving was pretty much removed altogether, and conversations were literally so muted that I could only see people's mouths moving. I imagine that there are no earplugs that will absolutely drown out everything, though, and I can still hear the voice on the intercom announcing each stop (which might actually be a good thing).
Today, I leave my iPod at home and I feel like my life is actually enriched by being able to read on the way to work. In addition, because I can't hear all the yakking and occasional yelling, I arrive at work in a much more peaceful and less agitated state of mind. Even if you don't think those sounds really bother you (as I, in fact, believed), it's amazing to witness how you feel when you arrive at your destination. It's a very potent sensation of peace.
Highly recommended, especially for anyone who takes a subway or elevated train to work.
Main criticism: Not very easy to take out if you have them in too far.
great plugs October 20, 2008
great sound protection. protection is better than than big clumbsy earmuffs that make you sweat and get in the way.
 Never belive others review October 11, 2008
It seems it will work for some people and may not work for others. After seeing excellent review, I bought but sadly they don't fit in my ear and gives ear ache. My advice is to firt try one piece. If it works for you, it is great, otherwise try some different one.
Great ear plugs October 1, 2008
These work great. They are soft & pliable and with the quantity you get, we'll never use them all.
Excellent! September 21, 2008
It's like turning off the world. And the foam is soft, adjusts easily to the ear. If you keep it in your ears all night, they won't be sore in the morning, like with some other earplugs I used before.
