Alpine SleepDeep Ear Plugs for Sleeping - Oval 3D Shape - Integrated Noise Cancelling Gel - Anti-Noise Plugs with Soft Filters - 1 Pair Reusable - for Comfort and Absorption

I previously used Bollsen earplugs which I found comfortable and effective, but I thought I would see if a cheaper brand was comparable. I did a fairly unscientific test of wearing these new Alpine earplugs and listening to a song on my phone. I compared the Bollsen to the Alpine by adjusting the volume until I couldn't hear the song and found that there was very little difference between the two. I would say the Bollsen reduce noise by perhaps a few decibels more (less than one press of the volume button). That being said, I have worn the Bollsen many times, so they have conformed to my ears, and the Alpine are still brand new, so I suspect in a couple of weeks there will be no difference. Regardless, I actually find the Alpine pair more comfortable and hardly notice them at all, even as a side sleeper. They also stay in very well. I ended up using the M/L size, but I actually think I could probably get away with using the smaller ones as well. These are significantly cheaper than the Bollsen, which are £27 each, or less if you are willing to multi-buy and they are on sale (usually £16 per pair at the cheapest). I will be saving my money and sticking with these Alpine in future! Regarding those who have rated these earplugs poorly, it may be an issue of sizing, improper insertion, or not realising that earplugs simply do not block out all sound (and you wouldn't really want them to in case of emergency)! They significantly reduce most disruptive noises, including my fan and traffic outside. For insertion, I like to do a test. After I insert earplugs I rub my thumb and fingers together (kind of the 'money' gesture) and hold it up to my ears. If I can hear it, they are not inserted correctly and I try to adjust them.

Doesn't reduce noise like it says it does.

Comfortable and stay in my ear. The noise reduction is just enough for me to be able to sleep through my partner's snoring, so far all good. The one annoying thing about these is the tag to pull them out has broken on a few occasions and when this happens, the plug gets stuck in my ear and is difficult to get out, which makes me panic because I tend to push it in further trying to get it out. So I find myself changing them quite frequently to avoid this and getting way less then the 100 uses, more like 20 uses.

Brilliant. I live on a busy road and can't sleep with the windows open. With these I have been able to sleep with all the windows open in the hot weather. They don't block 100% of noise, but for me wearing them its the same as noise level as having the windows closed.

This is the first pair of earplugs I've bought and I'm very, very impressed with them. The mother-in-law bought a puppy that spends all night barking, but I just pop these in and I can fall asleep no problem! They are comfortable, easy to clean and the multi pack means you don't have to worry about buying the wrong size. Will definitely be buying more in the future!

These are quite comfortable. I am able to lie on them to sleep 😴. Unlike others I have tried. Flexible and easy to wash. Handy case to keep them in. Muffles sound, doesn't block it out completely. Update.... Had them a year now, wear them for bed at night, but unfortunately they have started to break, so cannot use them anymore, as I am worried they will get stuck in my ear if the tab breaks off, when pulling them out.

I did not find these were very good. I ordered the multi pack size as was not sure what size I needed. The small is tiny, I would say for a child. They are comfortable to wear when sleeping but did not reduce noise very much at all, I have stopped using them as I brought them for a quiet night sleep and they did not help at all.

brilliant at cancelling noise, great value for money especiallly since there are two pairs of different sizes that i was able to give away and comes in a small portable case. very versatile because i can use it throughout the day even if that wasn't the intention. I'm able to sleep on my side just fine and quietens or silences most noises that bother me

Estos tapones se han convertido en mi objeto esencial para dormir. Al principio, me molestaban bastante porque no estaba acostumbrada a usar tapones que se insertan. Incluso había veces que me despertaba con uno de ellos en la mano y con molestias dentro del oído. Sin embargo, una vez que te acostumbras y los usas a diario, funcionan de maravilla. No crean ese vacío incómodo donde escuchas tu yo interior. En cambio, dejan entrar un poco de ruido externo, pero es tan leve que no te molesta ni te distrae, personalmente ese mínimo ruido es lo que me permite dormir bien ya que se que escucharé la alarma y no me quedaré dormida. (Uso la talla S, la M es muy grande para oídos pequeños)

Są super, nie powodują całkowitego wyciszenia ale wystarczająco żeby czuć się komfortowo. Idealnie dopasowują się do ucha, również leżąc na boku. W zestawie wygodne etui

Without a doubt one of the worst pieces of tat that I have had the misfortune to buy on Amazon. Not worth its money. The silicone options are much better. Per instructions it recommends using the smaller size first. I ended up trying them once and got one of the plugs stuck in my ear. I ended up having to get the cabin attendant on the flight i was one, to open up their first aid kit to get a tweezers to pull it out. I threw them straight into the bin subsequently. Design wise the small tag that should aid removing the tips is insufficient in length.

Mes boules Quiès en mousse commençaient à me faire vraiment mal aux oreilles, me réveillant même la nuit sur la fin. J'ai cherché plusieurs alternatives, et n'ai essayé que celles-ci, je me garderai donc bien de dire que d'autres sont mieux ou moins bien. Concernant ces bouchons donc, je pensais plutôt partir sur la taille M-L mais c'est la taille S qui va à mes oreilles. Je lis certains commentaires disant que ça ne filtre rien, mais c'est évidemment parce que le bouchon est mal mis. Il faut prendre l'habitude mais ça se fait bien. La filtration est moins bonne que sur mes boules Quiès en mousse mais pour moi j'étais trop isolé avec mes anciens bouchons. J'apprécie de ne pas être totalement coupé du bruit extérieur tout en étant bien plus tranquille que sans. Je n'ai plus de douleur au réveil, les bouchons tiennent bien tout en étant très confortables. Je dors sur le côté, aucun problème malgré mon oreiller assez dur. Je les ai depuis 1 mois et demi, pour le moment ils tiennent bien et sont facilement nettoyables. Je recommande !

Dopo mesi di soldi "buttati" in tappi usa e getta finalmente ho provato questa alternativa e non potrei essere più soddisfatto! A livello di riduzione del rumore sono comparabili ai tappi in silicone/cera con l'enorme vantaggio di essere riutilizzabili moltissime volte in più e molto più facilmente. Non pensavo fosse possibile ma è vero: sono perfetti anche per chi dorme di lato e una volta imparato come inserirli bene, non li senti più (io uso taglia S). A volte li tengo anche durante la colazione per godermi un po' di pace extra! Se si vuole massimizzare la riduzione del rumore arrivando quasi al silenzio, sicuramente i tappi in spugna sono i più isolanti, ma a livello di compromesso tra isolamento e comodità gli Alpine SleepDeep non hanno rivali. Non mi sveglio più con i rumori dei vicini alle 5 di mattina, e se anche sono in dormiveglia e sento qualcosina i rumori sono comunque attutiti a un livello da non dare fastidio. Viva gli Alpine SleepDeep!!!
