Buy on Amazon Buy on Earpeace.com

As a trusted brand offering several types of earplugs, Ear Peace has a range of options, in addition to versatile, effective, and affordable designs. The Ear Peace Moto Earplugs are noise-reducing, available in two sizes, have three different filter sets with an NRR of up to 19 (depending on filter).

The earplugs allow the user to hear noises clearly, just at lower levels and are ideal for calmer situations like traveling on airplanes or studying as well as loud concerts or riding noisy motorcycles. These silicon earplugs have a low-profile design that’s great for day use (but are not recommended for sleeping) and come with a convenient aluminum case and carabiner.

Best Corded: Anbow Silicone Ear Plugs

Buy on Amazon

A set of corded reusable earplugs helps prevent them from getting lost. The Anbow silicon earplugs have the added benefit of being waterproof, all at a reasonable price. With a noise reduction level of 32, the earplugs do an excellent job lowering the sound levels, and are ideal for loud situations like constructions sites, concerts, hunting, or other high-volume events.

They can also be used for sleeping (especially near someone who snores), studying, and travel (the cord helps ensure they won’t get lost on the airplane). Three pairs – with three cases – are included in the kit, as well as a waterproof travel pouch.

If you work in an environment that frequently has loud noises and are sensitive to sound, the Eargasm High-Fidelity earplugs are a worthwhile splurge. With an NRR of 16dB, these reusable silicon earplugs are designed for day use (although they can be used for sleeping in light background noise as well).

The attenuation filter lowers the volume of sound but preserves quality so you can still hear people speaking. With a discreet, clear exterior, the earplugs have a convenient pull tab that makes it easy to insert and remove. Two different sizes are included, as well as an aluminum storage container, but connecting cords are sold separately.

Best Budget: Keenhealth Reusable Noise Cancelling Ear Plugs

Buy on Amazon

If you’re looking for a quality pair of reusable earplugs without a high price tag, try the silicon earplugs from Keenhealth. The noise-cancelling, BPA-free earplugs are less than the cost of a box of disposable earplugs. Keenhealth’s earplugs are designed to protect hearing in loud environments (exceeding 85 decibels).

With a noise reduction rate of 29, the highly effective earplugs stay in place by gently aligning between the ear canal and exterior (be aware that these bright blue plugs remain very visible). The umbrella design is hypoallergenic and waterproof, with two sets included in each pack.

Best for Concerts: Loop Earplugs The Experience Pro

Buy on Loopearplugs.com

If you’re an avid concert goer, a quality set of earplugs is a worthwhile purchase to help protect your hearing. The Experience Pro by Loop earplugs uses dual filtration to reduce both high and low frequency noises, quieting – but not drowning out – sounds. They’re ideal for those attending festivals or racetracks, musicians, or for everyday use by reducing distracting background noise.

The stylish gold hoop earplugs fit snuggly thanks to a wide assortment of soft foam and silicone ear tips (in several sizes) that can reduce noise by 20 decibels. A noise-blocking insert is also included for times when you need additional noise reduction.

Best for Studying: Cruchan Noise Canceling Sleep Ear Plugs

Buy on Amazon

Moldable silicon earplugs are similar to a puddy that shapes into the external ear canal (not the inner ear), so they’re an ideal choice for people who have difficulty getting traditional earplugs to stay in the ear canal. The Cruchan plugs are soft, comfortable, and excellent at drowning out distracting noise.

With an NRR of 32 decibels, students can focus on the task at hand, yet important sounds (such as alarm clocks or cell phones) can still be heard. Hypoallergenic and waterproof, they can also be used for keeping water out of the ears when swimming (a set includes six pairs).
