I have very small ears and i struggle with finding earplugs that fit me. These didn’t do it either. I can’t get them in properly, leading to them sitting weirdly, hurting and falling out. They don’t k... 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

Great earplugs - gave my father a pair and they work fantastic!
No complaints anymore when I am playing "loud" music and he can take his "well earned naps" without being disturbed.
Recommendable to anyone dealing with these issues listed above!
Even though the ear plugs didn't work for me but I am still glad to say that their customer service is fantastic. And the company kept their words "money guarantee". After I contacted them, one day later I got my money back.
Are the good reviews about Happy Ears a joke?
To be true, this is the worst (and most expensive) earplugs of all the earplugs I have tried. I bought the Discovery Pack but will send them back tomorrow.
Love the earplugs. Would recommend to everyone, my sleep has become so much better.
They works great to lower noice in noisy place, so that you are still able to have conversations.
These have been by far the greatest tool to help me not to increase my headache, i have due to my concession.
I ordered and received the trial pack of all three sizes (given I hadn’t tried them before I wanted the size options). Unfortunately they weren’t for me - they seemed good at first, but I couldn’t wear them for an extended period of time without sharp pain from the pressure/digging into parts of my ear that would then hang around after I had taken them out.
I feel like the company knows this is an issue, and that it must be a widespread issue, because not long after I received them I got multiple emails from Happy Ears pretty much saying if I didn’t like them to let them before leaving a negative review. In order to offer that suggestion/request unprompted to me feels like this is a common problem that they are trying to get in front of.
not for me (earplugs too small) BUT I must say their customer care is amazing they refunded me the same day I asked them out...so I guess it was worth a try
I have small ear canals but bought the medium so they would fit tight and hoped this would help so that I don’t hear my husband snore. First off they are uncomfortable as I can feel the end post and they don’t block out the sound like I heard they would. It’s not what I expected.
I'm a 5'2" female and none of the sizes fit well enough to block sound the way 25 cent foam earplugs do. Complete waste of money. Just buy the cheaper kind if you really want to block out sound because you'll be able to hear your dad snore in the room across the hall with these.
I have recommended this product to anyone who had patience to hear about my love, yes love, for these ear plugs. I am a light sleeper and have suffered months of sleepless nights next to a newborn neighbor and a loud business. Their best point, they are comfortable and you can sleep with them without the discomfort of conventional cheap earplugs on a pillow.
I've read some of the negative reviews and don't understand why other people have had such a bad experience. I wonder if it's a matter of size, or unrealistic expectations. If I were to give it one critique, is that they occasionally fall out during the night. However, that may be because I don't wear them properly. They are very comfortable and mute most noise, but aren't magic. Case and point, my partner used them for the first time on New year's eve, which is a very loud affair in Spain, and slept through the night easily.
I'm a 6 foot tall male and found that the Large size fitted my ear well. They consistently did a better job of filtering out noise, requiring less manipulation than my usual foam plugs. I found that the plastic kind of dug into one of my ears over the course of the night meaning that I had to remove it before dawn... frustrating but I had similar discomfort with foam plugs as well.
Would I buy them again? Yeah, but they still aren't my perfect set of plugs - I think having a few different styles on hand is the safest bet
I was skeptical about these earplugs, the SNR rating of 25 seems pretty high, with most other concert earplugs going to around 19-21, and as you can probably see a lot of the reviews on Trustpilot seem to be unhappy(ears) with these earplugs.
I was pleasantly surprised, having tried both Senner and Apline earplugs, these are the only earplugs that successfully lower large night clubs (printworks, ministry of sound) to a pleasant volume. At first it can seem like they lower the sound too much, but after a couple hours you'll be thankful they do.
As for fit, these are the least compliant earplugs I've used, and I had my reseverations because I've often had trouble with earplugs either staying in my right ear, or going too far into either ear and being hard to retrieve.
However I am happy to report that I haven't had any issues with these going too far into my ears, and while they may not be the height of comfort, they have a much more consistent fit and require less fiddling with throughout the night, allowing me to forget that they're there to begin with.
As for some help on sizing, myself and a few friends have all picked these up for clubbing, and so far all four of us have come out as a large.
Please trust the negative reviews. They’re so painful, it’s hard to get them to fit in and barely block out noise. You’re just sticking a hard piece of plastic in your ears :( pretty pricey as well, just leave it.
I bought the discovery pack but unfortunately not one of the sizes worked for my ears. They look decent and felt comfortable but sadly didn‘t work for me.
When I contacted Happy Ears they helped me out with the problem straight away.
I'm thrilled. Wether I bought the products or not. Thank you for making the return so easy.
As others have said, slick marketing, snappy design but they don't work whatsoever! Total nonsense the scientific jabber I read beforehand, these things are utterly useless at the price DO NOT BUY.
Complete rubbish and dangerous product that doesn’t work.
I bought the “starter pack” and used the largest size. They were still way too small and worse even when put in gently they were so hard to get out with my fingers that I had to use tweezers to get them out.
They attenuate some sound but frankly less than the other - much cheaper - brands of reusable earplug.
Do not buy.
Right first things first, these things don't work. They don't reduce any noise at all, and it's not about "they don't fit me", they did fit but they don't work. End of.
Now let me address the 5 star reviews. Yes, this company gave me my money back, well done, thanks. BUT how can you give 5 stars to a company where the one product they make doesn't work as designed? When I asked for a refund, they had the audacity to mention they had plenty of 5 star reviews supporting their product, but when you actually read these '5 star' reviews they near enough all say the same thing: "Product didn't work, but they gave me my money back so yay, this company is brilliant, here's 5 stars babe."
*Rolls eyes*
You're inadvertently supporting a business that is wasting your time, our resources and somebody's money by creating a product that is completely useless in the blind hope that the majority of people buying them won't bother to get a refund...
I don't know who invested the money to support this business, but they are being taken for a ride!
DON'T BUY. Absolutely do not. Just don't. Stop.
I loved the design and the shipping time! The earplugs did not work for me personally (thus giving 4 stars) but I can recommend the company and their products. Super cute and colourful!
Disappointed after reading good reviews.
My item didn't arrive within the time frame of 1 - 4 business days, so I chased the following week and was told to wait a few more days but the item still did not arrive. I emailed and asked for tracking information but they could not provide this, so I asked for a refund and got one immediately (which is great!) but it makes me think that the product wasn't even shipped in the first place as the refund happened so quickly...
I actually like these! I have the worst snoring bf and have tried EVERY other type, including with batteries, spent hundreds of dollars/pounds. These have been great, take a bit to get used to as they are a bit hard at first but do block out most noise. They fit small. I'm a medium and they are medium. I'm a side sleeper and no issues after a few wears.
I'm surprised by all these negative reviews, I really like mine! I had the Discovery Pack and can't decide if the small or medium fit me better- I have to twist them in like a corkscrew action to get the seal that blocks the sound and occasionally one fallls out in the night but I'm really pleased with them. I can't feel them on my side either although haven't tried the large size. Love that they have a little case too.
