Ordered the watersafe+ swim plugs. Unfortunately they kept falling out. Emailed Bollsen who advised me to use their AR-KI tool. Received new earplugs which were much better for the shape of my ears .... See more

I have the black hearing protection for motorcycling. I wondered at the fit as one fell out during a ride without me noticing (when I put on my helmet). Although I constantly checked them (& still do since we bought 4 pairs), I noticed one sits oddly & both stick out a little — causing slight discomfort after many hours. I don’t mind as we typically break after 3-4 hours and remove our ear protection then which gives relief.
We appreciated them so thought of Bollsen when needing something at night. The sounds were as expected — excellent dampening for sleep and still able to hear other sounds — I feel safe that I will still wake up during an emergency.
For me personally, again, these stuck out a little which meant they pushed into my ear when sleeping on my sides. It was uncomfortable enough to wake me up (light sleeper here!) but I gave them my best chance and continued to find another comfortable position (not easy when I sleep in all positions and kept waking up to one side).
The ear protection itself is very comfortable and we have no problems keeping them in for hours. I appreciate the ability to hear other decibels around me and will most likely buy another set x 4 for concerts sometime… and more for motorcycling once they reach their end of their lifespan.

The team at Bolsen were extremely helpful, I spoke to Tom and he answered all of my questions quickly and accurately and was lovely to interact with. The ear plugs came extremely quickly and in excellent condition. I absolutely recommend this brand

Works perfectly to silence background noises, I fall asleep easier and wake up later in the morning👍🏻

I have been wearing Bollsen earplugs for the last five years as has my daughter who is noise sensitive. And we are extremely happy with them.
My latest order unfortunately went missing even though Royal Mail had confirmed its arrival at my door by a tracked photo.
After contacting Bollsen, Tom at customer service he promptly resent them. Thankyou

I have been using Bollsen earplugs for over a year now . I use both the life + ones for sleep which are great to deal with husbands snoring ! Actually sleep now! I also use the watersafe plugs for swimming which have been a game changer. The AI measuring service making them custom made to your ear size has been brilliant . I cannot fault this company . Tom in customer services has been outstanding as had an issue with the measuring . They sorted the problem promptly and more than compensated me . Recently I missed the deadline for Black friday deals had the earplugs in my basket sent a new order over and they very kindly honored the discount which was a lovely surprise and totally unexpected. I can fully recommend Bollsen earplugs . I have recommended them to my family and friends . I can honestly say I have not had any better customer service from any other company! Absolutely brilliant. In particular massive thanks to Tom !

Don’t understand how people can give this company a bad review I have had nothing but the best experience the ear plugs are the best. Customer service is on point. I order from them a lot I take advantage of there awesome deals they have. If you on the fence definitely give them a try you won’t be disappointed.

As a family of gig goers and side sleeper I ordered suitable earplugs, it’s been a few years since I ordered, so had to rejoin. They came swiftly, however they made my ear sore. I presumed it was that the bit you pull to remove and fit was different, got in touch by email and advised of my problem, (I also have tinnitus now) they suggested I have my ears measured, photographed my ears and emailed across to Bollen, acknowledged receipt, 2 days later new ones but smaller arrived. My ears had changed! (Who’d have guessed!- after all like your nose they grow all your life, but the canal in my case is narrower) Brilliant new ones are pain free.and work. Personally I liked the old pull, easier to grip,but I am one in thousands! Very Happy Customer 👏🏻👏🏻

I’m 68 years old and finally learned how to swim last year. I don’t like getting water in my ears and had swimmers ear a few times. My friend recommended the Bollsen Swim Earplugs. They are so comfortable to use. Easy to insert. Very easy to clean. Most importantly they keep the water out. Amazing product. Thanks Bollsen!!

In answer to your question Alen i didnt know your earplugs were designed with folk like me in mind. However, your research was worth it as they really do work a treat.

We ordered the headphones for our dog who is terrified of fireworks. As soon as he put them on he went to sleep and started snoring, despite the fact it was like the blitz outside. It makes a massive difference to him at this time of year. Wish we’d known about these years ago.

Simple process to re-order as they have ear measurements stored. Always excellent customer service and such quick processing and shipping! Thanks again to Tom too

The earplugs help me get a much better night's sleep because I am no longer kept awake by snoring or my cat asking for breakfast at 4am! I can still hear sounds but they are quieter and so don't disturb me, and I can hear my alarm in the mornings. The standards ones were a bit uncomfy but the Bollsen Arkitech team were helpful when I was trying to work out how to add measurement to my next order. My new earplugs are smaller and are comfortable.

I have been using the Life+ with AR KI TECH Measuring earplugs for years to enable me to sleep. They are fantastic and the only plugs I have been able to use nightly. I lost one of the earplugs and within one day I have new pairs with me - excellent service! If, like me, you struggle to sleep but don't want a total block out of all noise these are definitely worth a try.

Although the model I purchased appeared ergonomic, in reality, the device kept falling out of my ears, didn’t stay securely in place, and, most importantly, failed to block even minor noise. This model lets sound through completely and does not help with sleep.

I heard about these from a Google search as we have horrible noisy neighbours who bang doors for fun i think. Anyway I was desperate for a full night's sleep so I ordered some. And I can honestly say how pleased I am. They came super quick, they last a long time (not forever but there's reasons why) they mould to your ear after a few wears, they are soft so brilliant for side sleepers but even better I can still hear my alarm. Last night I got to sleep no problem even with all the fireworks going on. The only negative is they do come out sometimes so if they come out before the neighbours have finished banging their doors I still get woken.

Wonderful and consistent products, shipping, and customer service. I'm so grateful I discovered BOLLSEN.

I had tried many ear plugs for swimming - in pool and sea- over years and none were waterproof- I was about to give up when I came across Bollsen and decided to get my ears measured and give them a try- I have had 2 pairs for at least a year and they are simply brilliant- they are waterproof and I have no problems with my ears which I had previously. Recently when I wanted to order more Tom responded to my email and refunded me for the measurement for my original order- what a lovely gesture- a brilliant company- I highly recommend thank you.
