airplug not sound proof
Can hear all noises while wearing the earplug. Definitely no good for sleeping in the same room as a snorer. I can even hear a radio on low volume in next room. I feel the advertising is misleading

Dear Kaye: OH YES IT IS ( SOUNDPROOF ) !!!!!!! Kaye, in fact, they're PERFECT for sleeping with a snorrer !!!! BUT, >>>> you have to insert each ear plug and allow it to (SEAL) your ear canals !!!! Kaye, please follow these important instructions below and you will block everything out!!!! 1. Just before insertion, take (( ONE )) ear plug at a time and (work or knead) it between your fingers or hands for at LEAST 15-20 seconds to make this Beeswax ear plug, (soft and moldable). 2. Then push and flatten it, (a bit firmly), IN and AGAINST your ear opening, UNTIL YOU FEEL the ear plug (( SEAL )) (( SEAL )) yes (( SEAL )) your ear canal. IMPORTANT: If the ear plug doesn't SEAL immediately, then just keep your finger pressed against it for a few more seconds and it will warm and SEAL PERFECTLY. 3. Now take the other ear plug, and prepare it and insert it (exactly) the same way as the first ear plug. Kaye, with both ears SEALED, now LISTEN TO THE SILENCE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Representatives promised to get back to me and never did
I received a stale batch of earplugs and politely asked if there was something wrong with the batch (hoping to take advantage of their advertised return policy as the plugs I received were clearly hard and stale). The rep got back to me at a leisurely pace and promised to check the stock out at the start of the next week. Weeks later and I have still not heard anything. You're better off buying these off Amazon as they will stand behind the product for you. This is what I'd always done before but thought it would be better to buy direct and let them have the full profits. Boy was I wrong, avoiding ordering from earplugsonline.com

Dear Keith: You wrote us and said the following: "I’ve been using your “World’s Finest” ear plugs for years now and have to say they’ve got me through some tough times." You wrote us and said that the last shipment you received appeared old and dry. We told you that we make a 'fresh' batch each day and that there is no old product. We sent you an e-mail informing you that we hadn't received any other reports like yours, but that it didn't diminish the importance of your experience or satisfaction. I asked you to reply back to tell me if the ear plugs were firm and dry or did they soften and become easily moldable after kneading them. I didn't hear back from you and looked again and did not find a reply in our Spam folder. Keith, in the interest of 'Goodwill', we are sending you a 'complimentary pack' of ear plugs to replace the ones you received. I'm confident in their quality and I'm hopeful that you'll appreciate them. Keith, if you appreciate the quality of this complimentary pack, then please feel free to add a positive comment to the "trustpilot reviews. We are a 'transparent company' and we want our past and new customers to see that our intentions are always 'honorable' and that we stand behind our fine ear plugs. Most sincerely Joseph-customer service manager

Very disappointed !!!!!
I have ordered this online sometime in September 2016 however todate I have not received the earplugs. The local carrier Australia Post said they have delivered the parcel and they could not provide furhter details as signature was not require upon delivery and they may have put the parcel into the mailbox???? They said they could not investigate further and requested me to inform the sender to contact them directly for claims. I have since informed Earplugs to claim as sender. I have also contacted Earplugs helpdesk Ms Sally,it seems the company cluases claimed it's the local carrier's responsibility and accountability for my package. Their policy for claims of non-receipt that all charges to the customer remian in effect upon delivery. In effect Earplugs doesn't really care if their customer receive the goods or not as long as they get your money. My question is as a sender, Earlpkugs should ensure as a delivery condition that the carrier request proof of ID and signature upon delivery of goods to the recipient. In the event where customer did not receive the goods, Earplugs should re-assure their customer that once they've investigated and lodged their claim with the carrier they will re-mail the goods. But nothing has been done and I am left stranded. Both parties claimed no responsibility towards the safe arrival of my parcels and as a customer who paid for the goods I am left helpless, frustrated and angry. In the end I have no choice but to contact my credit card provider to claim on Earplugs on my behalf which consume my time in collecting all the evidence required for this claim. I was told it will take 45 days to know if I will get back my claim from Earplugs. My experience with Earplugs was not pleasant at all. As a regular online buyer I find this is not a reputable company to deal with as there's no after sale service. These are my details of purchase: Order no:100270930 Date of order:10/09/2016 Amount:$19.95 Tracking no:LJ914519444US Australi Post ref: 07900586 Jen Sydney

Dear Jen: On the contrary, we are an honorable company who invites ALL reviews regarding our product, our customer service and our policy regarding customer's reporting non-receipt when the tracking code validates receipt. Your international order (with free shipping) as your choice, was shipped ( at our company expense) with a tracking code that followed the shipment all the way to (your mailbox). Your local post office and ( your postman) verified the delivery to your mailbox. Our policy regarding International orders having successful verifiable delivery, is in (most cases) to reship the customer to an alternate address or to refund the customer, not reship and have the company accept the loss. You contacted your charge card issuer before we could make any alternate arrangements with you. Jen , if your claim of non-receipt was legitimate, then we are sincerely sorry for both of our losses; for our superior ultra-high blocking ear plug would have brought you much peace and quiet. I will have Joseph, our customer service manager, review your case and see if we can still find a way to make a win-win for all. Most sincerely Mary-customer service

These earplugs don't work. My husband snores and I was hoping they would block it out. They don't. They don't even work as well as the silicone ones I purchased in our drugstore. I wish I wouldn't have wasted my money.

Sticky
I felt like I had play dough or chewing gum in my ears. I felt very uncomfortable all night, and still heard the snoring next to me. 😢
Response from Mighty Plugs: The World's Finest EarplugsNov 3, 2016
Dear Suzy: "Sticky" you say???? >>feels like "Play Dough"??? or "Chewing Gum" ???>>"Uncomfortable" too???? Suzy, here's how to make this work PERFECTLY!!!!! 1. Yes, All Natural Organic Beeswax is (soft and mouldable) and feels a bit like Play Dough 2. Yes, the ear plug is (intentionally), a bit "tacky" from Pure Lanolin, so that it stays securely in the ear. 3. Yes, it stretches like chewing gum so that it will "stay together" 4. Yes & No; if you insert (too large) an ear plug, it can feel "uncomfortable". You must "pinch off" some. Suzy: please follow these exact instructions below and you will find that this magnificent ear plug will feel especially comfortable and it will block out ALL the snoring!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1. Just before insertion, take (( ONE )) ear plug at a time and (work or knead) it between your fingers or hands for AT LEAST15 seconds to make the Beeswax ear plug (soft and mouldable). Then push and flatten it (a bit firmly), IN and AGAINST your ear opening, UNTIL YOU FEEL the ear plug (( SEAL )) your ear canal. If it doesn't seal immediately, then just keep your finger pressed against the ear plug for a few more seconds and it will SEAL PERFECTLY. Suzy, if the ear plug feels uncomfortable, just pinch off a little at a time until it feels the right size for your ear canal. Now take the other ear plug, and prepare it and insert it (exactly) the same way as the first ear plug. NOW listen to SILENCE, with both ears sealed well. You'll now have the HIGHEST BLOCKING EAR PLUG in the world doing what it does best IT'S BLOCKING OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Honorable return policy, poor product performance, and safety concerns
I bought these plugs, followed the prescribed insertion procedure several times, following ALL aspects of the procedure, and here are my observations: I believe these are not safe for insertion and here's why: when they are gently but firmly pressed to fully seal the ear canal there is no way for pressure to escape between plug and eardrum. This means any pressure applied after insertion, for example if you happen to bump into the plug, is transmitted to the eardrum and I found this to be uncomfortable and slightly painful in each ear. If one tries to push/seal them too quickly again that pressure if fully transmitted to the eardrum and it's uncomfortable so you have to go slow with this step. It's very loud when you bump into the plug because vibration if fully conducted to the drum. This does not happen w/ foam plugs. I would like to see how an otolaryngologist or audiologist would rate the SAFETY of this design over foam plugs. The company claims to have the highest rated noise reduction, but I have yet to experience what that is in Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) that is published w/ high grade plugs such as Howard Leight MAX at 33dB, or 3M Orange at 29dB. I do not believe the Mighty Plugs are reducing sound anywhere near these two levels of NRR achieved w/ these foam plugs. I use plugs every day for motorcycling and require the best possible plugs. Finally, these plugs, when following the prescribed procedure take much longer to insert than quality foam plugs properly inserted. On the plus side, they would be re-usable to a much higher degree than properly inserted foam plugs. The company kindly returned most of my payment for a $20 set of plugs. For the many folks who claim in testimonials these plugs are the best my guess is that many/most of them do not insert foam plugs properly. To be inserted to insure the full NRR of qualify foam plugs they need to be rolled to a small diameter and inserted almost as far as they can be which takes some skill to do, but then as I say NRR is full. Addendum after Mary's comment: I'm afraid you're wrong on both counts. No head cold, don't work for foam plug companies. Moreover, since the beeswax method is solid, there is no question when you tap on one that is sealed the vibration/sound is transmitted pretty much fully to the ear drum. Your eustachian tube lives on the other side of the drum, so absolutely pressure applied to solid media beeswax IS fully transmitted to the drum--there is no way around that. My eustachian tubes are patent as evidenced by the fact they equilibrate when changing elevation. I have had bad head colds in the past as most of us have, and this indeed causes troubles w/ elevation changes on the plane or riding fast up/down big elevation changes on my moto. Now Mary, since your company makes this claim 'Rated " BEST " { Sound Blocking }', WHAT is the NRR for these when properly used?
Response from Mighty Plugs: The World's Finest EarplugsOct 20, 2016
Oh NCP: Yes, WE ARE AN (( HONORABLE COMPANY )) that invites (( ALL REVIEWS )), whether they are positive or negative NCP, your statements and speculations about our soft and mouldable Beeswax ear plugs are completely FALSE & UNTRUE !!! Your statements indicate that you are either suffering from a "HEAD COLD" or quite possibly on the payroll from a Foam ear plug company !!! It is obvious that you have presently or recently had a head cold, Flu or sinus congestion issue, for there are no issues with pressure in a healthy body or sinus cavilty when wearing our ear plug. NCP, from what you describe, it appears that you should "decompress" your ears and sinus cavity to alleviate the experience that you might feel as in an airplane that was reducing altitude. Then, with your sinus cavity pressure cleared, you could have a completely different experience with our ear plug. In over 21 years, having served 6 million customers (including ourselves) who wear this magnificent Beeswax ear plug daily, we have never receive reports like yours (( UNLESS THE CUSTOMERS HAD BEEN ILL )). Most sincerely Mary-customer service and a very very very satisfied 14 year daily and nightly wearer
