Foam plugs go hard, fall out and press into your ear the moment you roll onto your side. These take a different approach. The contact surface is liquid silicone, which sits softly against the ear canal, and the body is slim enough that lying on a pillow does not push them further in.
Noise attenuation is quoted at around 48 dB give or take 3 dB, which is enough to take the edge off a snoring partner, a plane cabin or an open-plan office at lunchtime. They carry an IPX8 rating, so they can be rinsed under a tap and used in water, which makes them a sensible option for swimming as well as sleeping.
The charging case is 70 mm by 49 mm by 18 mm and the whole kit weighs 29 g, so it lives in a bag or a bedside drawer without any thought. Silicone, aluminium alloy and ABS are used through the earplugs and case.
