Dream Ear Plugs - Soft Silicone Hearing Protection for Sleep & Snoring

I dont normally write reviews, but I felt this product deserved one. TLDR; These earplugs are fantastic for sleeping and sensory issues, and good for occasional loud sound exposure. Wouldnt recommend for every day ear protection with regular noise exposure as they are not designed for that. Pros: subtle, comfortable, easy to carry/pack, quality material, adjustable sizes, works for small ears good noise blocking for sleeping Cons: pricey, not suitable for heavy manufacturing or construction Ive used ear plugs at night on and off for the last 15 years due to a high sensitivity to sound and waking up extremely easily. With a snoring partner, a matching snoring dog, and a nocturnal child you can see the issue. I also toss and turn quite a bit. I have always found that other ear plugs make my inner ear hurt and swell after long use, and that the part that sticks out to remove them gets caught on pillows, yanking them out or just making a (relatively) loud sound in your ear waking up up. Prior to these, the best I had found was a gel based ear plug, which lessoned these problems but never fully got rid of them. That is simply not the case with these. They sit comfortably in your ear, with the removal flap sitting inside the ear. They are a very light and flexible silicone material that doesn't agitate my ear the same way other ear plugs do. I've worn these every night for several months with no irritation. I work in an industrial setting, with occasional (a few times a day) exposure to loud sounds requiring ear protection. For that level of exposure, they work fine. They do not block enough of the noise to be safe if you work around heavy machinery daily, but if you're just passing by these do a good enough job. My nephew has autism and has sensory issues with sounds in crowded public places. He also hates things in his ear. One day he was particularly overwhelmed and i gave him these. He immediately calmed down, and didn't mind these at all. If youre looking for small earplugs instead of bulky earmuffs, these might do the trick.

Want to start off by saying this is the 4th pair of Loops I have tried. I currently own the dreams, quiet 2's and the Experience's. I tried the Engages and did not like them at all so I returned them. I have been using the Quiet 2's for sleeping and while I do love them they tend to come out of my ears easily at night which results in my having to find them in the bed. Not a huge deal but mildly annoying. I broke down and bought the dreams since I am a side sleeper and while the Quiets are pretty comfy they do bother me from time to time. After sleeping with the dreams in I find them to be MUCH better at sound reduction and comfortability. The price is steep in my opinion however I was willing to spend it due to loving my other loops. NOW, my BIGGEST complaint with the dreams is the case!! Why does it not have a loop hook on it?? People like myself who travel and go places like to have all the loops on a clip that also contains a tracker in case I misplace them. So I did find a solution to this which was buying a case with a loop off Amazon for 3$. Not a huge deal but is annoying when you already pay 50$ for a pair of ear plugs to have to spend additional money on a different case. The case is the only reason I give them 4 stars.

Really 4.75 stars, but worth every penny if you're a light side sleeper. MUCH more comfortable than foam ear plugs and trying to lay on your side and sleep. I have used these for a month or more and they're fantastic. Sleep metrics from my wearable seem higher as a result. It took me a night or two to figure out which size was really the best fit, and they've been easy to put in my ears. The fit is comfortable, but there is an occasional night where they are momentarily uncomfortable - however this is well worth the tradeoff. They're very effective - but you can still get woken up if there's a situation - my dog barked loudly in the middle of the night and woke me up, but I'm not woken up by environmental noises like thunder/heavy rain/mechanical sounds/etc. I'm fairly certain a fire alarm would wake you up with these in your ear. I plan on traveling with these going forward - they'd likely do a great job of blocking sound on an airplane. The travel case would help them stay clean, but it doesn't "secure" them in there like other loop cases. I am curious as to what replacement foam tips would look like as I suspect they would eventually wear out - but so far so good. I'd take off .25 stars for the carrying case not holding them within the case, and for that occasional discomfort (still nothing compared to foam earplugs!)

I have been searching for earplugs for sleeping and tried these $50 loops. Because they are made for sleeping I assumed they would block out most noise like snoring and outside noise. I realize comfort is important, but I would say noise reduction should also be important. Comfort is very good on these, they nailed it. But with the noise level it fails. Having anything over your ears will block some noise, so yes there is a “reduction” of noise but is it noticeable when trying to fall asleep? Not when you can hear everything from the clock ticking, cars driving by, and of course snoring. I thought at this price point I would be near the top of the list of high performing ear plugs, and if my expectations of noise reduction is to high, I will find an alternative to ear plugs. My learning experience has begun, starting with these loops. I’m returning these and will be trying one of their competitors brands, ( by the way they are half the price) to find out if my expectations are to high. So the term “sleeping ear plugs” is highly subjective as far as noise level is concerned. Side note: I spent a substantial amount of time trying all of the different plug sizes searching not only for the best fit but to stop the noise, and all sizes failed. I do own a pair of “Quiet 2” loops and these do the job for daytime noise reduction very well. But to advertise a “sleeping ear plug alternative? and these are the best ear plugs loops can do? Then I will shop elsewhere, and especially for better value for my dollar.

I bought these earplugs to help me sleep in my apartment with thin walls and closely connected vents. My upstairs neighbors can be a bit loud during their nightly activities, and these muffle the noise just enough for me to fall asleep peacefully. Hearing my breathing makes me feel so peaceful. I get chronic migraines, so I combine it with a mask and it's a great combo! I specifically didn’t want disposable foam earplugs because I was looking for a more sustainable option. I don’t love the idea of throwing something away after one use, so I really appreciate that these are reusable. The noise reduction is impressive; I can barely hear myself typing this review on my laptop! They’re extremely comfortable and stay in place all night. I have small ears, and the small size fits perfectly. As long as my alarm is on maximum volume and I have haptics turned on, I can still hear it in the morning. For side sleeping, they absolutely pass the test. They stick out just slightly in my ears, but not enough to cause any discomfort. I was a little nervous after reading some negative reviews, but I’m genuinely so satisfied with this purchase. If you’re looking for a comfortable, reusable option to reduce nighttime noise, these are 100% worth trying.

I, like many others, thought that this price tag was simply too high. I stuck with the quiet2 loops for far too long. Had I known the dreams were this comfortable, I would have switched long ago. Normal foam buds fall out for me, hence why I bought the quiet2 loops in the first place. While the quiet2’s fit in my ears, they were far too rigid for a side sleeper. I’d often find them scattered about as I’d pull them out of my ears while unconscious. I have not slept with the dreams yet, but the second I put them on my ears, I knew these were what I needed all along. They silicone/foam tip molds to my ear and because the larger piece is a disk, I know it’ll work much better for side sleeping. I still think 50 dollars is a steep price but I wish I had bit the bullet sooner.

Very comfortable, but it doesn’t block out much noise. Overall disappointed but if you don’t want it to block out as much noise as normal earplugs then they’re nice. But they are definitely over priced.

I was disappointed in how little noise these ear plugs block out. I bought these to use on the plane so that I could sleep but they barely helped. They are comfortable and look pretty but they are not very good for how expansive they are. There are many different shapes and sizes to choose from so you can adjust the inserts if you need to. 2.5 stars out of 5.

Świetne. Początkowo wydawało się, ze nie spełniają swojej roli. Ale kilka dni na festiwalu udowodniło, ze to byl świetny zakup. Uwaga: nie wygłuszają calkowicie, ale wystarczy by spać spokojnie. Polecam.

They work well enough but I've been using basic foam earplugs for years and to be honest I don't really notice much difference in a cheap pair of foam earplugs vs these loop dreams. I'll use them until as long as they last but don't think I'd bother replacing them or the tips simply because of the price

Premetto che prima di questi tappi ne ho provati altri, di vario tipo, tutti ben insonorizzanti MA mi provocavano un dolore insopportabile all'orecchio nella parte esterna dove poggiava l'estremità del tappo, oltre ad un prurito fastidioso. Questi fin ora sono gli unici che non danno nessun tipo di disturbo: ben insonorizzanti (ho un compagno che russa e non lo sento) e nessun dolore o altro fastidio alle orecchie. Sono veramente contenta perchè avevo perso le speranze invece adesso dormo senza interruzioni tutta notte. Costano più degli altri ma valgono la spesa, consigliati!

After Reading reviews inwas a bit afraid these were gonna hurt my ears bc loop quiet sometimes did. But wow! Have been using for a few months now and they’re so great and comfy, rarely fall out and with an eye mask never fall out. Honestly can recommend. They’re not cheap but really comfy and till now seem to hold on well !

I have been wearing foam earplugs for the last 10 years to block my husbands snoring. And while they worked fine most of the time, they would fall out of my ears all the time and I would need to throw them out and replace them constantly. These Loop earplugs are amazing, I admit they did hurt for the first few nights, but once you push past that, they work so well. They stay in the whole night, there is no chance of them falling out. The seal around the tips is so good it’s like a vacuum, you actually need to be careful taking them out otherwise it hurts. You need to release the suction first. I have been sleeping so much better and feel more rested. I can still hear my alarm in the morning and also hear my kids if they cry loud enough during the night. Give these a go, they are worth the price. Don’t believe the bad reviews. They probably are new to ear plugs and are not used to them or are using them incorrectly somehow.
