Tools and Hardware Reviews of Howard Leight LPF-1 Max Lite Uncorded Foam Earplugs Box, 200 Pair
Customer Review: Almost perfect
Summary: 5 Stars
These earplugs are very nearly perfect for my use, which is primarily sleeping. I'm a light sleeper, and have found I can get a much better nights sleep, fall asleep faster, and sleep longer using earplugs. These are very comfortable, easy to put in, block the majority of noises that keep me awake, but not so much that I couldn't hear the smoke alarm or problems. My wife snores a bit, and I hate the sound of the heating/cooling system, and even the gentle woosh woosh of the ceiling fan can keep me awake, but not with these earplugs. My only complaint, and its minor, is that I wish they made these in a less obtrusive color. Flesh color would be ideal, but I do understand that in industrial applications, they need to be bright so hearing protection can be verified. Just not for my needs. I buy them a box at a time, and they last me over a year. Well worth my $20.00. Other earplugs I've tried are too big, too tight, uncomfortable. These fit and work great. Highly recommended.Customer Review: Amazing Earplugs For Small Ear Canals

If other earplugs hurt your ears after prolonged use, especially in bed these are for you. Order from PK Safety supply, they are reliable, I have used them 2 times and had a great experience.Customer Review: Awesome earplugs!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have never had to use earplugs before, until a few months back when I had new neighbors move in the apartment above me. They stomp around like elephants late at night I might add, combining that with the squeaking floors, I was wondering how on earth I was going to get any sleep. After a couple trips to Walgreens for ear plugs, I started looking at earplugs here and bought these due to the positive reviews. They block out a lot of noise and in my case the neighbors enough so I can rest peacefully. I can hear my fan faintly but that isn't an issue.
Needless to say, these are a lifesaver. I usually squeeze the ends like it says on the directions, stick them in my ear and they expand gently. It's kind of weird how the sounds around you just fade away. Overall, I would definitely buy these again, I might have to when I run out if those neighbors are still around! 5 stars!!
Customer Review: Best earplugs I've found!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have tried several different brands from the drugstore because I sleep with earplugs in due to my husband's snoring. I only found one brand that was decent and didn't cause a lot of pain (Pretty in Pink). As a woman with small ear canals, this was a big problem, and even the "good" ones still caused pain by morning on several occasions. They also didn't last long and lost their elasticity quickly.
Then, I got a pair of these Max Lite plugs with an eye mask I purchased. I tried them and liked them so much that I dug the little plastic bag they came in out of the garbage so that I could find the brand name and order more.
I've been using these for several weeks now and have had no pain due to the "low pressure" foam. They do a great job at sealing out noise - better than any of the previous brands I've used. They also retain their elasticity well which makes it easy to re-use them without having to open a new package all the time. They roll up tight for easy insertion into small ears night after night.
Although you have to buy a large quantity, I think it is totally worth it. Plug for plug, these are much cheaper than buying them a few pairs at a time from the drugstore. Plus, I like that they are individually packaged by the pair. That makes it easy to throw a handful into a suitcase, keep an extra pair in my purse, etc.
Great product. Can't recommend enough.
Customer Review: Blocks out the irritating neighbors
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a light sleeper, all kinds of noises wake me up. I got my first good night of sleep after wearing a pair of Flents Quiet Time Soft Comfort Foam Ear Plugs. Unfortunately, they were from batch of NR31s which are no longer made so I needed to find a better alternative.
After some research, I found the Max Lite LPF-1 and I can sleep more soundly for longer stretches. I usually get woken up by my neighbors bickering every night at 1am, and after wearing these, no more! I have also used the pink and yellow Howard Leight LL1 Laser Lites which you can usually pick up at CVS locally. I measured with a ruler and it looks like both the LPF-1 and LL1 are the same size width-wise (~9mm), but the LPF-1 is more comfortable to me because of the low pressure foam for my smaller ear canals. The LL1s will block more noise since they are rated NRR32 and the LPF-1 is rated NRR30. But if you have smaller ear canals that get irritated by other larger earplugs, the Max Lites may be a good alternative.
These earplugs cannot completely block out loud noises such as honking horns, but it will block out quieter ambient noises such as a car speeding by, people talking outside, car doors slamming, light snoring, hovering helicopters, etc. They have allowed me to sleep through my cat meowing for food or scratching at the door in the morning.
I did notice after wearing one pair of earplugs consistently for about 2 weeks, they stopped blocking out as much noise. After switching to a new pair, the problem was gone, so make sure you replace them periodically.
According to the packaging, these are made in the USA. A few third-party sellers on Amazon sell 12 or 20 pairs if you want to try them out before committing to a 200 pack.
Side note: To remove earplugs safely, twist like a screw to first break the seal, then pull out. Removing by pulling the earplug straight out without first twisting to break the seal can create a suction effect on your eardrum and possibly cause damage to your hearing.
