Tools and Hardware Reviews of Howard Leight LL1 Laser Lite Earplugs no Cords (200 ct)
Customer Review: How did I ever live without these?!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been using these ear plugs for the past few years, and I don't know how I got through a decade of marriage without them! My husband was quite the snorer... And I am a VERY light sleeper. The slightest little things wake me up. And I would be up alllllll night, nudging him back onto his side. His life improved, too, since he was allowed to sleep comfortably on his back without me pushing at him all night.
I can now sleep through all of those little things that used to wake me, AND the snoring! I recommend combining the earplugs with the use of a fan. I keep my floor fan on, facing away, and I am in my own little blissful quiet zone. Make sure that you follow the directions for using the earplugs or they may not work properly.
Advice for those who complained about the size: These generally come in three sizes. The higher the noise reduction rating, the larger the ear plug is, and more noise gets blocked out:
Smallest, with lowest noise reduction (But still pretty darn good!) : NRR30 Howard Leight Maxlite Uncorded Earplugs hearing protection 200 pair
Medium in size and NRR, and these are my favorites : NRR32 Howard Leight LL1 Laser Lite Uncorded Earplugs hearing protection 200 pair
For larger ear canals, and with the highest NRR of this brand/style : NRR33 Howard Leight Max-1 Uncorded Earplugs 200 pair
Customer Review: Works like a dream
Summary: 5 Stars
Like most of the women who have reviewed this product, I am a very light sleeper and every noise wakes me up. As you can imagine, when I started dating a chronic snorer who sounds like a freight train, it began causing some problems not only in our relationship but in every day activities because I was hardly getting enough sleep. I was cranky all the time and took out a lot of that on him (sorry babe!). The snoring became so bad at times that I would leave his house at 4 AM because all my nudging and pushing to get him to move to his side would do nothing and just make him mad for waking him up. I finally decided to start looking up different brands of earplugs to get other people's opinions, since I knew there were women with the same problem.
I stumbled upon to the Howard Leight brand and after reading all the reviews, I decided that these seemed like they would do exactly what I needed. There are 3 sizes, and I figured that since these are the medium size, they'd fit most ears, including mine. And I am so very happy to say they fit perfect. I was having some trouble getting them in at first, but wetting them a little bit is the trick to getting them in after you've rolled them. And once they're in, you can count on not hearing a THING the rest of the night! These are a godsend and probably have saved my relationship and my personality, especially since I sleep all through the night and haven't been starting arguments or looking like the living dead all day.
$20 for earplugs may seem like a lot, but you get 200 pairs and I reuse each pair for a week. The best $20 I've spent in a while!
Customer Review: Changed my life
Summary: 5 Stars
Between the talking/partying/outdoor TV playing neighbors, my spouse snoring and the dog's nighttime roaming, I was getting no sleep and hating life. Using the Laser Lites every night for the last four years stopped the insanity, allowing me to sleep comfortably and confidently.
I started with the earplug sampler (samples of 15 or so different brands) from earplugsuperstore dot com. After trying them all I picked out the most comfortable, highest dB plugs which turned out to be the Laser Lites. They create a perfect air seal without being too large, which is very uncomfortable. I buy them in bulk and take handfulls with me in my shaving kit when I travel, leaving stashes at my parents, the in-laws, etc. I spread the Howard Leight religion and give samples out to my relatives and friends. I am a true believer.
Some tips on using earplugs: 1) Make sure your ear canal is wet before inserting the plugs, this helps them slide into place without wrinkling. 2) You can feel a good air seal as a very slight tug on your eardrum as the earplug expands in the ear canal. Test the air seal by rubbing your thumb and forefinger together gently right next to your ear. If you hear anything, you most likely have a wrinkle and need to push them in again or re-insert.
These really are fantastic, high quality earplugs and I highly recommend them.
Customer Review: Very quiet, and worth the bulk purchase!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've always been a rather light sleeper, but never even considered the idea of ear plugs. Last year, however, my roommate and I were having noise issues, and she offered me a pair of what she called "construction grade ear plugs," given to her by a friend. A small zip lock back with 4 new pairs of bright pink and yellow ear plugs.
I used them religiously for about 8 months, pushing the poor things to their limits in terms of usage. XD Though they don't completely eliminate close sound, or things like voices and TV, they do an incredible job with most things--enough for me to get sleep and stay that way! In fact, I can't hear my alarm clock with them on, and have to sleep holding my phone so that the vibration wakes me up.
Obviously, when the original two pairs ran out, I was crushed. After a bit of hunting around online, I found these, which looked exactly the same--and lo and behold, they were! I was a bit disheartened that I was going to have to buy 200 pairs, but at least I know I won't be running out any time soon.
In between my old pair running out and buying these, I tried several types of ear plugs--these, however, have been not only the most effective, but by far the most comfortable. Most nights, I hardly notice them, and have even occasionally forgotten they were in when I was particularly tired!
Customer Review: Laser Lite Foam Ear Plugs NRR 32 , are GREAT!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was recently issued a pair of these while flying on a "noisy", two engine float plane hunting trip?-
I was apprehensive, as normally foam ear plugs cause "extreme" irritation to the soft skin in my inner ear!?
I also have fitting problems, as one ear canal is much smaller than the other?
These were a delight!-
They were sooo soft/smooth, and caused NO irritation!
Easily fit in both both ears, and did not fall/work out!
The 32nrr/db sound deadening was EXCELLENT!
The next test was at the rifle range- I shoot a LOUD .338 win magnum rifle!-
For shooting-it is recommended that you wear BOTH plugs & ear muffs!- The loud bang also travels up your jaw bone, so you must also protect the area surrounding your ear (You'll get Tinnitus..., if you don't!)
For muffs I use/recommend the 30nrr/db "Leightening Howard Leight Ear Muffs"!
Leightening Howard Leight Ear Muffs
This double protection "REALLY", solved my "ears ringing". With the combination of these ear plugs/muffs- We are talking 62nrr/db noise deadening!
