Quies Wax Ear Plugs - 12 pairs

I’ve tried many many earplugs as I’m very sensitive to noise, especially while I’m sleeping and these are the absolute best. They’re very moldable so they can fit very well into your ear and very comfortable. The block noise as well as many of the other more expensive options in the market. And also they’re made from natural material, not plastic. There in indispensable in my travel bag.

Very easy to use and work really well.

Used them for over 20 years. Work great. They become soft quickly and don't hurt. Sometimes they fall out sometime during the night, but I just want them to get to sleep.

Have used for years. Very effective

Been buying and using this very brand since back when Caswell-Massey sold them and they came in a beige Egyptian Revival-esque Bakelite box. Anywho, folks can have those foam earplugs sold at the drugstore, at least when it comes to getting quiet sleep, and the silicon ones too. These are wax and as such malleable and able to conform to the ear. They shut out my noisy neighbors just perfectly. One plug per ear, and you can use it many times before you have to throw it out and use a new one.

Wow, these are way better than I expected them to be! I think I had pre-formed an idea of how comfortable these might be based on my experience with silicone "ball" style earplugs in the past, which I found very uncomfortable, awkward-fitting, and hard. (As well as hard to get a good sound seal with, in my ear.) FYI: These are nothing like that. They warm up when rolling them between your fingers or in your hand quite well in less than 15 seconds (unless you have very cold hands, I suppose), and if you follow the packaged instructions on how to insert and fit them for a good seal, they completely close the opening to your ear quite well, and they are shockingly comfortable. (Do not shove them into the narrow part of your ear canal. These totally seal & rest just over the wider part of the opening of your ear canal, like a boulder rolled in front of a cave, to seal the entrance, and you pulling your ear back a teeny bit and then releasing it will "shift" the ball just so and it will settle right in that area with a nice seal. It sounds like it would be uncomfortable resting there at the "cave entrance," but it's not. They feel great.) The warmth of your ear quickly helps them mold even further to your shape, and I slept all night with them with no comfort issues. I am used to my foam ear plugs shifting a bit and making my ear uncomfortable somewhere in the middle of the night at some point, and needing to be readjusted and reinserted. But not these! I love the fact that these are friendly to the Earth and also make me so happy! The thin swaddling of cotton fiber the balls each are surrounded in, in the case, was a surprise and off-putting at first until I read what it was & was for. Do not stick the cotton stuff in your ear with the ball. Read the instructions and remove it. If there's any drawback it's a slight one, but removal isn't as swift and easy as with other types of earplugs. Don't panic, it doesn't get stuck in your ear--but you'll likely have to pull the shell of your ear back and/or up a little to loosen the seal of the plug while pinching the part of the wax ball you can feel with your fingertips or nails and dragging (or sometimes kind of scratch/rolling) it out. For me this is a minor thing compared to the benefit of one of the only Earth-friendly earplugs out there, and the utter comfort, and how well they work. But if you have a phobia of something taking 5-7 seconds vs. 1-2 seconds to remove from your ear, and those extra seconds would cause you panic, then perhaps opt for something else.

I discovered these earplugs in ~ yes! ~ Paris. Many years ago, bought them in a French pharmacie when I was staying in a noisy neighborhood. Years later I discovered they were sold on Amazon and it was like a dream come true! They work, they really do 💤

I bought these after using Mack's soft wax ear plugs for a long time. I thought maybe something was better. I have to cut a piece of sandwich bag plastic to cover the Mack's soft wax so my hair or pillow doesn't stick to it. Kind of a pain, but it works. So, as soon as I opened these, I saw they are wrapped in cotton, but the instructions tell you to remove it. Hmmm? Ok. I thought this was to maybe help with the sticking issue but if it's removed...?? Anyway. When I took one out of the box, it was HARD as a rock! I peeled the cotton away and tried rubbing it into a pointy ball like the instructions tell you to do. Well, how to do shape a rock? It was almost impossible. I finally got it into a semi pointy shape and stuck it in my ear. I tried and tried to get it to form over my ear hole...and it did after about 5 minutes and a now sore ear. However, I laid down and fell asleep. About 2am, the now super soft rock in my ear now wasn't sticking...and basically fell out. Yes, the little bit of cotton left on the soft rock didn't stick to my pillow or my hair, but no thanks.

I've tried numerous types of earplugs over the years but these work the best by far. Even when the neighbors are having a boisterous party, I can still fall asleep with ease.

Nella pratica confezione in plastica ci sono 24 tappi in cera dura avvolti singolarmente nel cotone idrofilo. La cera va riscaldata tra le mani e modellata a cilindro per inserirla nelle orecchie (le istruzioni sono sulla confezione). L'isolamento acustico non è totale (del resto, sarebbe pericoloso se lo fosse), ma annulla quasi completamente rumori e voci circostanti, se non a pochi centimetri di distanza. Ottimi quindi se il partner ha problemi di russamento, se si dorme in una zona piena di locali o se si hanno vicini rumorosi: ho avuto occasione di testarli in tutti questi casi e, da persona esageratamente sensibile ai suoni durante il sonno, devo dire che funzionano egregiamente. Sarebbero monouso per questioni igieniche, ma devo ammettere di usarli più volte; di certo raccolgono sporco e cerume, dunque è meglio cambiarli abbastanza spesso. Personalmente ne lascio 2 nuove paia in ogni valigia, perché in viaggio sono sempre utili.

Vous avez 12 paires pour un prix bien plus décent qu'en magasin. Ce sont les plus agréables et confortables, surtout par rapport au traditionnelle en mousse. La réduction de bruit est largement suffisante pour s'endormir dans un environnement qui n'est pas au calme. Si vous avez les oreilles propres et que vous en prenez soin, vous pouvez les utiliser plusieurs nuits.

Los tapones solo eliminan mínimamente el ruido. Se llegan a caer mientras duermes.

Toco en un grupo de música metal desde hace años (Ekyrian), y he visto cómo varios de mis compañeros sufrían problemas de oídos (dolores, pitidos y acúfenos). Me he informado mucho y he probado muchos tapones diferentes en este tiempo, y con esa experiencia puedo asegurar que, sin duda, lo más importante que debe cumplir un tapón para aislar bien acústicamente, es que se ajuste perfectamente a tu oído, cierre completamente el conducto auditivo y no deje nada de espacio de aire. Por las características físicas, ningún tapón te va a reducir las frecuencias graves, pero eso no importa. Las frecuencias más peligrosas para nuestros oídos son las agudas, y esas son las que pueden evitarse con facilidad si el tapón cierra COMPLETAMENTE el oído. Mi recomendación es, entonces, que encuentres los tapones que mejor se ajusten a tu oído. Es decir, que sean fáciles de poner y ajustar, y que no se te muevan ni se salgan. A partir de ahí, puedes buscar algunos que aislen por encima de 24-27 dB (fijarse si es SNR o NRR, que son los estándares Europeo y Americano, que difieren en 2-3 dB). En mi caso, los mejores tapones que reunían estas dos condiciones fueron estos. La cera se amolda perfectamente a cualquier oído, no sobresale nada así que puedes dormir con ellos también de forma cómoda, y el aislamiento es bastante decente. Suficiente para estar varias horas (2 o 3) en entornos con bastante presión sonora, como puede ser un ensayo o un concierto (90-100 dB) sin problemas. En resumen: muy recomendables.
