Howard Leight by Honeywell MAX Disposable Foam Earplugs 5-Pair Vending Pack (MAX-5)

Those are my go to! Very comfortable, fully noise cancelling, and you can wear them several times.

These have been the most noise reducing ear plugs I have tried yet. They have more material than other ear plugs, which helps to block up the ear canal and they also expand more after placed in the ear. They also have a disc like shape on the end of them, which helps to block sound from going down the sides of the ear canal. My only issue is that these ear plugs were almost too good, and they expand so much that they made my ears a little uncomfortable if worn for a long while (but this is like 8+ hours in a row plus napping in the afternoon). I would highly recommend these ear plugs for short time use and then you can decide if they're comfortable enough for long time use. You should definitely compare them with other brands and see for yourself that they block more sound.

The Honeywell MAXIMUM Disposable Foam Earplugs were comfortable to use and provided the highest noise reduction for commercially available ear plugs. Took a couple of times to correctly insert the ear plugs into the ear canal, but once properly done, provided the ear protection I was expecting.

4/5 for blocking loud sounds out. Like you can still hear someone in the room talking to you, but outside noise is brought down enough to be worth the purchase. A little too big, not exactly fitting or comfortable. But they help at least.

I've been using ear plugs for the better part of a decade (open office floorplan, working from home with noisy kids, etc) and I can honestly say these are BY FAR AND AWAY the best there is. Pay the extra and get the exact branded ones.Don't bother with the green bullet shaped one.Don't bother with the cylindrical yellow ones.And while decent, don't bother with the green contoured one.Previously, I used to use the back of a pen and FORCE earplugs deep into my ear in order to get good sound isolation. I would have dedicated pliers to grip and remove them (yes, no kidding).They expanded and applied substantial pressure. I chalked the pain up to the cost of entry for peace and quiet.Not anymore.These Howard Leight ones are fundamentally different. I'm not sure what the process technology is that allows this, but these have to be tried to be believed. This material is incredibly soft and compliant but it does so while (somehow) remaining closed cell.I gently roll into my ear with my fingers and I now get the same level of noise reduction, but... no pressure.I shove it in with the back of a pen (not recommended) and it's absolute silence. My ear canals have probably been forced apart over the years with uncomfortable earplugs so your mileage may vary.But this is a game changer for me.
