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

Just not good for sleeping

I bought this hoping to find a comfortable solution to my partner's heavy snoring. I've tried a few foam options and thought I'd give this ones a try, especially because it feels such a waste to use the disposable ones. I ordered the Discovery Pack to try my best fit. I couldn't complete a whole night sleep with them due to ear pain after 3 hours, and not blocking noise as good as my foam ones.

Despite my disappointment, Happy Ears were diligent enough to return my money within a few days. I guess you can still use them for other activities, but no, not for sleeping.

Update: I submitted this same review on their webpage and answered me back that it didn't meet their corporate guidelines. Now I now why I couldn't find any average reviews before purchasing them.

Good, but not for sleeping

Happy Ears emailed me to ask for a review, but when I gave their product only two stars they said the review did not meet their corporate guidelines.

It's a shame as I think the product is solid, it's just that they should not be advertised as helping you sleep better because if you leave them in your ears for more than 3 hours, your ears hurt.

These earplugs block out noise, but I do not suggest you sleep with them in.

Great customer service

I had the same experience as several other buyers. The ear plugs unfortunately didn't work for me, so I contacted the company and got a refund immediately - on a Sunday! This is great customer service.

Absolutely wonderful....

Absolutely wonderful..... I have wasted so much money on different ear plugs, but these actually work! I bought the trial pack & actually have a small left ear & medium right (who'd have guessed) so they fit perfectly. I can hear a muffled little snore, but if I take one out then it's back to a very loud snore! I would give 10/10 & will definitely be buying more! Thank you.

Dont waste your money

These ear plugs are advertised as being a sleep aid, however they don't block out any noise whatsoever.

If you're looking to reduce harm to your ears for live music events, or something similar, these will be fine. But as for cutting out noise to help you sleep, these are absolutely useless.

The ear plugs didn’t quite work out for my ears but the company couldn’t be more helpful. Quick to respond to my queries and immediately refunded the money when I contacted them. Fantastic customer service!

Useless product

I was about to write my own review, but I can see that it would a copy paste of Peter Holloway's. Absolutely useless product.

Really poor product

Really poor product. If they don't just fall out of your ears (or worse, get stuck in them because they are so narrow and small) then they won't reduce the noise whatsoever. I admire the idea of creating an eco friendly alternative to foam ear plugs, but these are next to useless, and possibly even a bit dangerous with nothing on them to stop them going all the way into your ear canal.

Excellent customer service

I purchased the discovery pack because I wasn't sure what size to get. Unfortunately none of the sizes worked for me. I emailed customer service and they explained that because I've used foam earplugs for years I've expanded my ear canal so even their largest size is too small. They were very kind and refunded me! It's a shame as I'd love to switch to happy ears but if you have small ears then you should be fine. Can't fault their customer service.

Didn't suit me but good service and refund from them.

The ear plugs were uncomfortable for me and didn't block much sound at all. I do however give them high marks for customer service as I e-mailed them saying so and got a refund credited to paypal and confirmation from them within 5 minutes of sending it....so if you want to try them, they are obviously a fair minded company and worth a try.

I genuinely laughed out loud at how…

I genuinely laughed out loud at how ineffective these are and how I fell for the great reviews and a price point like a lot of other people have mentioned here it seems. Purchased these because I can hear neighbours through the walls in my new flat and it literally does not mask any sound whatsoever. This is having tried all 3 sizes and inserting them at different angles and pressures to try and find a sweet spot. It simply makes sounds more tinny, not quieter in the slightest. Given the price of them, I guess I will have to take this as a lesson for the future. What a glorious waste.

Sharing a bed with my husband again

My husband and I have been sleeping in separate rooms for around 5 years now due to his snoring. We decided to try share a room again a few months ago so I’ve been trying different ear plugs. First I tried the foam ones. They were too big for my ears, even rolled up as tight as possible, by the time I put one into my ear it had expanded too much to fit also they gave me a very bad pain in both ears. Next I tried the wax ones. They did block the sound very well but gave me awful pressure pains in my ears that stayed with me for a couple of weeks. So my husband was sent back to his own room again. Then I came across Happy ears online and bought a small and medium pair. The small fit perfect and I’m happy to say I’m sharing a bed again with my husband for the past few weeks. When his snoring is very loud I still hear it a bit but it sounds way off in the distance so doesn’t bother me, apart from that I can’t hear a thing except my own breathing. Two little things I have found that help are when you have them inserted give them a tiny twist and you will feel them creating a seal in your ear otherwise you may still be able to hear. Also I cut some of the stem off to make them more comfortable as I’m a side sleeper. I love them, they stay in place all night and no ear pressure pain at all. I’ve stocked up on them now as I’m terrified I’ll lose one......... Also make sure you have the correct size as the wrong size won’t work. The medium size just dulls the sound for me but the small blocks it.

Do NOT work for blocking out sound

After reading such positive reviews I decided to give this a try. It is so disappointing to find my $2 foam plugs work better than these. They do not block the surrounding noise at all and definitely do not block out my partners snoring. The sound is somewhat "dampened". I purchased the starter pack with the 3 sizes - which I can barely tell the difference between at a cost of $40. None of them work at all. I do not understand how they are receiving such glowing reviews.

Spend lots of money for disappointment..

After years of using foam earplugs every night, I decided to go for a more sustainable and reusable option. I didn't mind investing some money to make sure they worked very well and lasted a long time. I ended up choosing happy ears after a lot of reviews and such, by buying thr multisize option to make sure it fits and works properly.. ok, after playing around with them for a while, making sure they are perfectly fine, I was SO disappointed. I heard everything around me in a muffled way, every footstep, car driving outside, my partner talking quietly. It stung like hell because the price was astronomical, so I was sure it would work.. they don't issue any refund if you are unhappy with the product either, otherwise I would have emailed them instead of right a review.

All of these good reviews.. they must be filtering them
