Howard Leight Max Lite earplugs
I've used the orange Max 1 plugs in the past and always got a splitting headache if I used them for long periods of time. It wasn't until I read online that the Max 1 was designed for large ear canals that I realized it was my problem. I was handed a pair of new Max Lite (green) earplugs to take a standardized licensing exam. Immediately I noticed how much softer and pliable they were compared to the Max 1. In addition to that, the Max Lite plugs never gave me a headache even after using them continuously for over 6 hours. I kept them and still use them after 3 years. They have a slightly lower NRR than the Max 1, at 30 dB versus 32/33 dB.
I used to wash my foam earplugs, but I found that it causes them to expand too quickly if you dry them near heat. It might be a good idea to test wash a pair and let them air dry cool to see if it causes them to expand faster than normal. Otherwise, the Max Lite plugs are extremely easy to use and fit my smaller ear canals perfectly. For larger ear canals, I suppose it might feel "looser" but they are still fairly large earplugs. For medium ear canals, you might want to consider the Howard Leight Laser Lite pink/yellow plugs.
The 200 pair uncorded plugs are delivered in a cardboard box dispenser with an instruction booklet. Each pair of earplugs are dispensed in an easy to rip open plastic bag. I don't recommend the cords because they can transmit noise/vibration into your earplug. When I am at the range or out on the sea, I can always hear the wind wisping through the cord on my neck and it gets transmitted directly to my ears. It's convenient to hold the plugs in a dynamic environment, but if you're riding a motorcycle or at the range, the cord can get in your way or cause more problems with noise/vibration transmission.
I really hope garages, workshops, military units, and other industrialized organizations buy more of these earplugs instead of the horrible yellow earplugs or the other junk that are uncomfortable to use.
Overall: 5/5 stars
