I bought earplugs over a year ago because I normal earbuds that do not have these fins, can not wear because of piercings. The Alpine Sleep Soft Earplugs fit perfectly to your ear and dampen particularly snoring and normal ambient noise sounds (for they are indeed there ... if you sleep next to a jackhammer, they could little avail) with its special filter perfectly. I am absolutely satisfied with the things - although they are not cheap, but they hold but also eternal, must be cleaned well and fulfill their purpose 1a. Absolute buy recommendation!
