I was using the 3M ones before this which are also quite good. These are softer and probably easier to get moulded into the ear canal. So I do recommend these as they seem like a good ear plug. I just find with all of them, they don鈥檛 block enough sound for me. I wish they gave me silence. I can still hear the tv in the background or conversations I wish were blocked out. But it鈥檚 not a fault of the product, I think it鈥檚 just the limit of what these earplugs can do. All in all, I like these ones as they stay in the ear well after applying and don鈥檛 seem to want to creep out as easily as other brands I have tried. So in saying that, I think if you need this style of earplugs, this is a good one to get, better than several others.
