The product is great. I use them myself, but mostly for my wife, the world's lightest sleeper... Along with her eye mask, we joke that they are part of her "armor" for the night! Jokes aside, they've... See more

After Alpine redesigned my current favorite earplug and rendered them unusable, I thought I would try Happy Ears. Turns out that the “large” size are an absolute joke and and a complete safety hazard.... See more

Stuck!

Initially thought these were great… but an episode of trying to get the m out when they had worked their way too far in was pretty awful. Won’t ever wear them again! Also unable to find any contact details for the producers.

Best ear plugs I ever bought!

having had sleep issues where i only slept a couple of hours a night consistently over 2-3 years, I would give anything a go!! I bought the starter pack and decided that the small ones are the best fit. Nearly 2 years later, my sleep pattern is sorted where I'm sleeping 7-8hours a night. However, I cannot sleep if I dont wear the happy ears! I would highly recommend these ear plugs above any others - worth every penny!!

I bought the starter pack as recommended. The small and medium basically went all the way in and did not seal at all. The large sealed and I fell asleep but woke up in so much pain. They are truly so uncomfortable and it's really hard to get a seal. Getting them back out was also very difficult. What an absolute waste of $45. I have no idea where all the good reviews have come from but these do not live up to the hype.

purchased two packs of the Small medium and large. One for m wife as a stocking filler and one for myself . I first tried the Small size and one had to be removed from my ear with a pair of tweezers in the middle of the night to my wife’s horror . I then tried the large (black) and I found this size painful and removed again in the night. Finally I used the middle size and again had some difficulty removing them but managed to retrieve with out the use of tweezers only just though. After spending around £45 on 6 sets I can confirm my wife refuses to use them and I won’t be either.

I absolutely love these!

I absolutely love these!! I have a small ear, and all the other earplugs just pop out. I use the smallest size, and I can now sleep next to a very loud snoring partner. They are still really comfortable when lying on your side when sleeping. Plus I love that they are so easy to keep re-using, saving loads of foam earplug waste, I've had mine for a year.

crazy to think youre making …

crazy to think youre making advertising about being eco friendly when people buy a discovery pack with 2 sizes they'll probably never use...

So you're creating 2 out of 3 earplugs that goes to trash ?
And people keep 1 size that fits... great eco friendly product lol

This is a scam, avoid at all cost!

This is a scam, avoid at all cost! Charging a ridiculous markup compared to a normal foam earplug, one would expect it actually does the job for reducing noise as claimed on their website. The earplugs i received doesn't reduce noise, not comfortable and hard to remove.

Works fine and cancel noice perfect for me at work. I use large. Far better than other earplugs I have tested. The good thing with these is that you hear peoples talk but the uncomfortable noice is reduced a lot. So I´m satisfied!

Useless pieces of plastic

Ordered the discovery pack for me and my partner to block out noise and to sleep with. They are completely useless at blocking out any noise at all! Pushed them into our ears more than enough and just didn’t do anything. They also feel like you could push them too far in and have trouble getting them out which could be scary.

Don’t purchase. We were given a refund promptly after sending feedback by email about them being useless for our ears. I’m afraid foam earplugs are way more effective at noise cancellation.

Excellent customer service

These ear plugs are not for everyone and unfortunately they didn’t work for me but my stars are for the excellent customer service I received when I contacted Happy Ears. I had a refund within hours. They are worth a try and if they don’t work for you, you can be assured your payment will be refunded promptly.

Lovely CS - So Helpful

Also shocked at the negatives.

If the plugs fit my ears they’d have been amazing. When they were in they did block out the sound well.

Didn’t work out for me but the CS were so efficient and helpful. I wish it had have worked out as I’d love to have continued with this company.

Undisclosed Fees on Purchases

Ear plugs work fine but why am I paying international fees when I’m ordering a “shipped from Sydney” product?
Sorry I’ll buy local, and save on international fees. Your product is already expensive without additional non-disclosed fees.

they work very well

I am shocked by the bad reviews- people seem to think that if it didn't work for them, it is a scam or they don't work. They work beautifully for me and I am so happy to finally find earplugs that fit comfortably. I have small ear canals and all other earplugs I've tried end up being uncomfortable, except these. The tip are soft and the ends lay flat so I can sleep on my side with them. I can't imagine how people are having trouble getting them out- maybe they work best for smaller ear canals.

Impossible to take them off, a health risk!

Terrible product. Those earplugs are one of the most unconfortable to sleep with that I've experienced and to make matters worse, they are an absolute nightmare to take them off (I had to ask my girlfriend to remove them for me because I couldn't with my fingers, in another ocasion I managed to take them off using tweezers). Avoid Happy Ears at all costs, buy some Loop Quiet Earplugs instead, those are the exact opposite, comfortable, well designed, easy to insert/remove and really effective blocking noise. My Happy Ears Earplugs are going directly to the garbage, I dislike them so much to even consider them a health risk.

Ineffective at cutting out noise

The earplugs do not cut out noise. They are far less effective than standard foam plugs, unfortunately. I could still hear the clock ticking and neighbours two floors down. Far too ineffective to use for sleeping. It's very disappointing after paying almost £15 for one pair.
