Ultra Soft Foam EarplugsMack's Ultra Soft Foam Earplugs, 50 Pair, 33 dB NRR

Quieter nights, gigs and workshop sessions

These Mack's Ultra earplugs are moulded from skinned, tapered polyurethane foam that recovers slowly after it is compressed, so it can settle into the ear canal with gentle pressure. The smooth outer skin is there for comfort and easier hygiene. Mack's lists them for sleep, loud concerts, motor sport, shooting sports and working with power tools.

What the 33 dB rating means here

The pack shows a Noise Reduction Rating of 33 dB, which is a US rating rather than the SNR figure printed on many UK and EU packs. Getting a proper seal matters, which is why the directions focus on compressing each plug and holding it while the foam expands.

What comes in the jar

You get 50 pairs, or 100 individual beige foam earplugs, in a safety-sealed plastic jar with a flip-open lid for easy dispensing. The jar measures roughly 10.8 x 6.4 x 6.4 cm, small enough for a bedside drawer or kit bag, and the earplugs are classed as disposable.

How to use

Roll an earplug between your thumb and forefinger to compress it. Pull the outer ear upwards to straighten the ear canal, then quickly insert the compressed plug while holding the ear open. Hold it in place for around 30 seconds while it expands to form a seal. To remove, twist the earplug gently and pull it out.
