" ... stays in place no movement ... "
" ... I'm loving these earplugs. ... "
" ... These are the best ear plugs that I have found. ... I highly recommend These to anyone looking for a good quality set of earplugs. ... "
" ... Fits comfortably if you do it right. ... "
" ... Easy to mold and somewhat comfortable. ... "
" ... I made a big leap from a $5 bottle of 20 disposable blue foam earplugs to these earplugs. ... It did take a few tries before I was confident that I had shaped the earplugs to my ears correctly. ... First, these are very comfortable, and unlike disposable foam earplugs, they don't become loose or need adjusting. ... Second, they absolutely protect my ears. ... It is a great feeling leaving a loud concert venue and having no ringing in your ears. ... Compared to the dinky blue foam plugs, they sounded much better, and I never had to adjust them. ... "
" ... I go to the range every week and use in ear protection instead of over the ear. ... "
" ... So ear protection for my hobbies is key. ... "

" ... Amazing ear plugs! ... "
" ... It took many molding tries to get the fit right. ... Once they fit right, these things blocked out significant noise from the shop. ... "
" ... Prior to wearing them today, I did have to remold them after the first time to get a better fit. ... If you have an issue with fit, remold them, its easy and only takes a couple of minutes. ... "
" ... Easy to mold, even by your self, for that custom fit. ... "
" ... I use these for competition shooting and they are perfectly stable and never come even close to falling out. ... "
" ... Very easy to mold and they fit very well after the molding process, they stay in tight and don’t fall out. ... These earplugs are the best ear plugs! ... "
" ... Love the fit ... "
" ... These work very well and don't fall out of your ear. ... "

" ... Sound protection is very good. ... "
" ... I was impressed with how much noise they block out. ... "
" ... The reduction of sound is great. ... "
" ... Even shooting a rifle with a muzzle brake, these do a very good job of blocking noise. ... "
" ... I could hear what the other musicians were playing. ... "
" ... The sound reduction at the range is amazing and these aren't even the percussion ones! ... "
" ... It's a no brainer once hearing is gone it is gone forever. ... "

" ... Silicone tips + hard plastic was very uncomfortable. ... They did NOT get sticky or gummy like others experienced. ... What I didn’t like, hard plastic conchal bowl parts vs silicone. ... It’s smooth plastic but still hard plastic. ... "
" ... But, upon cooling, they just feel like having a hard piece of plastic in your ear with a foam insert on the end. ... "
" ... Molded several times and did not work. ... "
" ... They keep falling out, I've re-molded three times and they still don’t do as well as the foam plugs. ... "
" ... I've had custom molded earplugs in the past, that I purchased at a motorcycle show. ... Unfortunately the black plug that has the logo on it presses against the inside of my Nolan N-44 helmet and the hard plastic center tube caused moderate pain in both ears. ... "
" ... rubber inserts tore right away ... "
" ... I am a dentist, so I am familiar with moldable materials. ... "
" ... So not a good sign so far, but I hadn't yet put the included end-caps in yet. ... * The flanges on the silicone plugs are SUPER thin and light. ... I can also see these cracking and breaking down in no time, as I've experienced the same on other earplugs that had flanges this thin. ... * The black endcaps that go into the hard plastic hollow core are also very thin. ... * And then there's that hard, hollow, plastic core in the center of the molding, between the endcap and the ear canal tips. ...

" ... Wind noise wise - This one with the bundle form type plug, it does ok job. ... "
" ... While these earplugs were more comfortable for me, they didn't do much at all to actually block out noise. ... "
" ... The reduction of sound is great. ... "
" ... The plugs easily mold to your own ears and the noise reduction is great. ... "

" ... You will need to carefully read and follow the easy instructions, and it will take 10 to 20 minutes getting them set up, but it's worth it. ... On the other hand, if you don't plan to carefully follow instructions or want the convenience of ready-made plugs that you can just pop in, you're better off with something else. ... "
