Best I've used yet October 19, 2008
I bought these for mowing the lawn (I also use a STIHL trimmer, which produces a much more painful noise), and they worked perfectly. The trimmer and mower sound far quieter with the plugs in than my ultra-quiet garage door opener, or just pushing the mower while off, sounds with the plugs out.
The plugs fit well - they have never bothered me. However, I have not worn them for more than around three hours continuously.
I would not recommend them for more than a single use. Besides being dirty (and uncleanable), they spring back into position quicker, making it almost impossible to get them in your ears before they expand. It took me almost three minutes. But the first time you use them they are as easy to get in as any other ear plug.
Comfortable and effective, great for sleeping. July 1, 2008

I purchased the Hearos Ultimate Softness Series ear plugs to use at night after a noisy nocturnal elephant moved into the apartment above me. At first I tried using those bright orange Howard Leight Max ear plugs, and although they were very effective at blocking out sounds, they left my ears feeling really sore in the morning. The Hearos plugs seem just as effective as the Howard Leight ones in blocking out the noises of elephantine upstairs neighbors, but are more comfortable and I don't wake up with sore ear canals.
The plugs can be a bit tricky to insert, but once they're in there they are comfortable and don't stick out from your ear -- the other plugs I used stuck out quite a bit and caused discomfort when smooshed against a pillow. The only problem with using these ear plugs when sleeping is that they are a little TOO good at blocking out sounds, so I've slept through my alarm a few times... and I'm a pretty light sleeper. So, I wouldn't recommend them if you're a heavy sleeper that needs to make it to an 8:00am meeting.
I gave these ear plugs 5 stars because they are the ultimate combination of comfort and effectiveness... and I can finally get a restful sleep!
