Flare Earshade – Earplugs – Block Sound – Aerospace Aluminium & Super Soft Memory Foam – Black

Great option for 'turning the world down a bit' rather than blocking out all noise.Good for those with sensory triggers who still need to be able to hear the door/ phone etc.Perfect for working in a shared space when you want to block out noise but not listen to music.Also great for sleeping at noisy hotel / snoring partner etc. but allows you to hear alarms etc.

Sadly these really hurt my ears which was annoying as they did block out a lot of sound

This pair of flare earshade earplugs can block background noise effectively. They can reduce -27dB . The memory form is very soft and comfortable to wear. Lovely stylish aluminium body, it is very easy to fit into my ears.. It is good to use for study /work when you want to block the noise effectively.

Twice in the past I've found myself living in extremely noisy neighbourhoods. I'm not sure that people who've never experienced this can fully appreciate quite how dreadful it can be. If you're feeling flush, you might go out to try to escape the racket for a while - but if times are tight, you feel trapped and powerless.Luckily I sought out a quiet locality - and relocated there some years ago. But I'll never forget those times. I have to say, they'd have been much better if I'd had a pair of Flare Earshades back then. They do a marvellous job of blocking noise.Nowadays fortunately I'll only be using these heavy duty ear plugs sporadically - but having the noise pollution experiences I've had, I greatly appreciate them. They arrive in well designed paper recyclable packaging that looks graphic and contemporary and come with a neat little drawstring bag for storage.The earfoams - one pair's supplied in the pack - should last around a month and require replacement. Made from heat-resistant memory foam, spares are presently available on the Flare Audio website. In view of the hard, aluminium component in these, they're not designed for sleep but the company does produce a version that is.

I got these to lower the volume for an exam that I had failed 3 times previously. It was in a college and there were so many noisy distractions. I could hear them but they didn't make me anxious as the ear plugs drowed them out to a level I could barely hear them. I was able to concentrate and stay calm and I ended up passing my exam. 100% buy these if external noises make you anxious or you get disturbed by them. These are fantastic.

Don't fit in ears - come out straight away

Good earplugs, good for concertsThe canal shape is made to fit like a custom so for those reviews about bad fit, it's probably because you've been inserting them the wrong way. Everyone has ear canals that bend different ways, the curved shape isn't always facing forward.An easy way if you don't already have custom in ear monitors (where you can already see how your canals are bent) is to just put a finger near your ear opening and turning it to see which direction it goes in (if that makes sense) Whichever direction your fingertip faces is ghe way you should be inserting these plugs. You have to compress the plugs, then insert in the same direction. These plugs arent true customs which is why that method should work.

These little earplugs have made a far bigger difference than I could have imagined. They come in cute cardboard recyclable packaging, comes with a hard carrying case that fits in the included small soft carrying bag. The earplugs themselves come in two parts, the aluminum posts and the memory foam plugs. The plugs can be replaced and are recommended to be replaced once a month. I couldn’t find any replacements available in stock on Amazon but on the flare audio site they are $15.To start you need to put the posts in the memory foam plugs. You can put them directly in your ear or if you find that uncomfortable hold them in your hand for a couple of minutes to warm them up first and they are easier to insert. I find them a little uncomfortable to start but as they warm up in your ear they become very comfortable. My ears are on the smaller side so these just fit but if you have really small ears these might be too big. These also do not block out all sounds, they bring the volume of the world down by quite a bit but you can still hear what is going on around you.I’ve never liked loud noises and have always sought out quiet but due to a recent illness I now become overwhelmed and confused when there are too many competing noises or things are generally too loud that make it so I can’t function. These earplugs have made a big difference. I can put these in to bring down the overall noise level a lot but I can still hear if someone calls my name as well as what’s going on around me, so I don’t feel unsafe wearing this out and about. I really like that you only need to replace the memory foam part and find the cost to be quite reasonable. I would highly recommend these to anyone who needs to turn down life’s volume.

Die Flare Earshade sind klasse. Sie reduzieren merklich den Lärm und schirmen von der Umwelt ab.Man hört nur noch ganz wenig davon. Allerdings hört man sich dann selbst atmen und sprechen.Wenn man lärmempfindlich ist und mehr Ruhe benötigt, sind sie sehr zu empfehlen. Sie sind auch angenehm, wenn man sie länger im Ohr hat.

So I got these, with the recommended keychain holder. They were too big for the keychain holder and wouldn't come out without a lot of effort. I used them for two days and all was good, on the 3rd day, when I pulled the handles, they popped out leaving the ear foam in my ear. It was very difficult fishing them out because, without the handle, they were pretty deep inside.I just want to say that I never had a problem with my old Flare Isolates, which I wore for months. The titanium plugs never disengaged from the foam without significant effort on myself when replacing the foam ear inserts. So I suppose there is a QC issue where the tolerance just isn't close enough. I'll probably return these if I can, I probably can't.

I placed in one ear and after use i tried to pull out but the handle or pull stick came out and left the plug in my ear canal. My wife had to use a set of tweezers to pull out - extremely unhappy with this set of ear plugs ! Beware !
