The noise was calming and enjoyable and just the ideal volume to be helpful however not intrusive. One thing I actually liked about these is that, unlike the Bose Sleepbuds II, you can manage them right on the earbuds themselves. There's a little button on each earbud that you lower to turn them on and off.
And they're actually comfortable too. They didn't feel as safe as the Bose Sleepbuds II, however they stayed flush with my ear so I could sleep on my side conveniently and didn't fall out throughout the night. I could use them for about 3 nights, depending on just how much sleep I was getting, without needing to charge them.
Mack's If you're strictly a side sleeper, Mack's Pillow Soft Silicone Putty Ear Plugs are your best bet. They're made from soft, completely malleable silicone that shapes to your ear opening and forms an airtight seal that shuts out sound. Although these took a little getting used to-- I have actually never ever tried silicone earplugs in the past-- they rapidly turned into one of my favorites.
Most importantly, they did an outstanding task at obstructing out snoring and any other ambient noise (like 3 big cats play-fighting in the middle of the night). The airtight seal also kept them strongly in location, and they didn't fall out even when I tossed and turned. Whenever oordopjes wore these, I awakened with both still in my ears, an accomplishment that lots of basic earplugs have not been able to achieve.
Eargasm The Eargasm Squishies are another malleable silicone option that are comparable to the Mack's Pillow Soft Silicone Putty Ear Plugs. The greatest distinction in between the 2, besides the color, remains in the directions. Mack's silicone earplugs need to be used entire-- you can't break them or cut them apart.
This is handy if you have little ears, like me, and discover that using the entire silicone earplug just feels too intrusive. As far as sound reduction goes, the Eargasm Squishies were just as reliable as Mack's putty earplugs. The 2 have the very same sound decrease ranking-- 22 d, B-- so I was anticipating that the efficiency would be in line, and it was.
