Best Shooting Earplugs of 2025

"The Mack's Maximum Protection Soft Foam Shooting Ear Plugs have truly changed the game for me. With a 33 dB NRR, they offer the utmost protection for my ears while hunting or shooting at the range. I can block out those loud gunshots and concentrate without worrying about my hearing. Super soft foam makes them really comfortable, and I can wear them for extended periods with no issues. Plus, the 50 pairs in one pack means I’m set for multiple outings without running out. As someone serious about protecting my hearing, I can confidently say these earplugs are a fantastic choice!"

"I find these earplugs incredibly effective at blocking out loud sounds, whether it’s at the shooting range or when I’m around loud competition events. They’re easy to use and quite comfortable. I’ve even shared some with friends who weren’t prepared, and they really appreciate having them around."

"After years of working various shifts, I’ve realized I can only sleep well with earplugs. These work wonders; they dramatically reduce noise levels. While no earplugs can block all sounds, these do a great job when combined with my white noise machine. They’re truly a powerful duo!"

"I bought these for my jet ski, and they're incredibly comfortable. Despite being soaked from sweat and lake water, they stayed in place. However, to adjust the filter, I have to remove the entire plug, which can be inconvenient."

"I love these ear plugs! They block out noise effectively, making it easier for me to concentrate while my husband has the TV on. Plus, they come with a handy storage case and lanyard."

"I've been using these ear plugs for years, and they've only improved. The passive noise reduction works well, especially for loud environments, but I do recommend cleaning them regularly to avoid ear infections."

"I researched many options for ear protection for the Indy 500. Decibullz was my top choice and I’m glad I chose them. After following the instructions carefully, I found them incredibly comfortable during the entire 3-hour race. I experienced no irritation or hearing loss, and they stayed securely in place. These earplugs are perfect for anyone looking to enjoy loud events!"

"I was initially hesitant about the molding process of Decibullz, but the hot water method made it easy. After molding them, I attended two concerts and was impressed. The sound was clear, and I didn't experience the annoying ringing afterward. I’ll continue to adjust them for an even better fit. Highly recommend!"

"Setting these up was straightforward, and they really do provide excellent noise isolation with the foam tips. However, after a long day wearing a helmet, I found them slightly uncomfortable, and the foam tips sometimes got stuck in my ears. Overall, they are a good investment, but I might look into professionally made options in the future."

"I bought these for concerts, and they fit great. I’ve struggled with other earplugs staying in, but these work well with the concert sound, allowing clarity without leaving me with ringing ears."

"My boyfriend, who is a musician with mild hearing loss, swears by Mack's earplugs. We chose these for their decibel coverage and he really likes them. I’ve tried them too and find them comfortable and not cheap feeling."

"I keep these at the hunting camp for friends who lack ear protection. They’re a fantastic product."

"These earplugs are amazing! They're narrow at the tips, making them easy to insert. If I pull on my earlobe, they line up perfectly with my ear canal. They block out gunfire noise, loud motorcycle exhaust, and wind noise effortlessly. I can ride behind my friends with their loud Harley pipes all day without any discomfort. With my electronic ear muffs at max volume, I can hear everything clearly at shooting competitions, even with the loudest muzzle brakes next to me. I've tried so many types over the years, but these are the most comfortable and effective."

"I've tried several brands, but these are quite good. They were a bit long for my ears, causing them to slip out occasionally. However, I simply took a pair of scissors and trimmed about a quarter of a cm off the flat end, and now they fit perfectly! They block noise much better now. My husband can be quite loud, but with these, it's much less annoying, allowing me to sleep better."

"These earplugs are comfortable and simple to use. Most importantly, they protect my ears effectively. I will definitely buy them again."

"I really like these Mack earplugs. As a New Yorker, the subway noise can be overwhelming, and while these earplugs don’t block everything out, they comfortably dampen a lot of noise. They make it much easier to read and relax without distractions. I find them effective against moderate noise, and I’m planning to buy more. Highly recommend!"

"I bought these earplugs for my husband, and he’s really impressed with how much noise they block out. Definitely a product I would buy again!"

"I wasn’t particularly impressed with these earplugs. While they were soft and blocked some noise, they became irritating after about 15 minutes. I’ve decided to stick with Hearos earplugs instead."

“I found these to be amazingly cheaper than standard ear protection. I’m definitely going to buy another pair for my second range bag.”

“While I appreciated their custom moldable design, I had a tough time getting a good fit. The noise blocking was too effective, making it hard to hear anything, including my hunting companions. I think they’re better suited for target shooting instead.”

“I wanted the right earmuffs for the shooting range, and I thought these would work well. They claimed to have a 31 NRR, but honestly, they felt like nothing at all. The fit was okay but uncomfortable, so I quickly returned to my old earmuffs.”

"I find these ear plugs very comfortable and a great price! With the TV on, I can now concentrate on reading without any issues."

"For whatever I'm doing—whether it's using a chainsaw or shooting at the range—these ear plugs block out most noise as expected. The cord keeps them from getting lost, and I can wear them for hours without discomfort."

"I was hoping to muffle the TV sound while I read, but unfortunately, these plugs didn’t help with that. Additionally, they had a strong chemical smell that gave me a headache, even after a week of airing out. I ended up returning them."

“I love these ear plugs; I use them under my headset every time I go shooting indoors.”

“They work great for me when cutting grass and at the gun range, especially when paired with my Walker Razor electronic ear protection.”

“I rely on these to block out my spouse's snoring, and they truly help me fall asleep.”

"As an avid hunter, these filters are ideal for protecting my hearing from gunshots. I appreciate being able to hear ambient noise and communicate with my partners. They are durable and comfortable, and despite trying regular earplugs before, these meet all my needs."

"I was really hoping these would work well for protecting my hearing at the range, but I was disappointed. I had to remold them multiple times, and the fit just wasn't right. While they block sound, I still struggle to communicate with others, and getting them in and out is quite difficult."

"I followed the instructions and used them while trap shooting. They worked extremely well, allowing me to hear everyone while effectively dampening the gunshots. I plan to use them for hunting, although I might need to reshape one for a better fit."
