“I have ADHD and severe noise sensitivity and get very overwhelmed. These just quieten everything down. I can focus better, I feel calmer — and they're incredible for live music and sleep too. 10/10.”
“I'm autistic and needed something to use in the shower. These are a game changer — they block out the noise perfectly. Really good that you get different sizes to try.”
“I have tinnitus and need to protect my hearing. So comfortable to wear at home and out and about, and very discreet — a good filter for loud noise and a nice block for sleeping.”
“Comfortable and discreet, and they keep all the noise out. The starter pack with different sizes is genius — I use a different size in each ear, which I'd never have guessed.”
“My daughter is very sensitive to loud noise — gym class would leave her in tears. She's happy she can still hear what's happening in class but isn't overwhelmed by the noise now.”
“Not complete silence — which I like, I don't want my own heartbeat too loud. They take busy traffic noise right down, they're comfortable and they stay in. Best earplugs I've ever used.”
