How well do they block out snoring?

Yes, they do block out normal amounts of snoring. If the snoring is really loud and wall shaking, they don't. They will dampen the sound though.

Sorry, I didn't test it for snoring block. Just by projecting from my experience with much louder noise, I would expect the product to be effective for that purpose, too. However, this statement is limited by the fact that I have not tested the product for sleeping convenience: It almost certainly blocks snoring noise, but I have not experienced how it feels on one's ears while asleep.

I've found these earplugs to be the best brand for blocking out snoring. Been using them for years just for that purpose.

I do every night (or day) - my wife snores pretty badly, plus I sometimes work nights and sleep days. These keep all the normal household noises from waking me up or keeping me from sleeping. Best to use with WhiteNoise app to add a soothing random noise to cover up the noise. The isolation is a combination of the covering noise and the insulation of the fit.

I guess it depends on how loud he's actually speaking, how light a sleeper you are, and how far in you are willing to press in those earplugs (lol). Personally, I must be a very light sleeper, because even if my husband is just sleeping with his mouth open and hasn't even BEGUN to start snoring yet, it wakes me up. So, I find I have to really press a wad of these wax-like earplugs into my ear enough to block out even light sounds. As I've said before, tho', these are the ONLY earplugs that have worked for me in many years for heaving snoring (plus, it seems that the older I get, the less soundly I sleep). I hope they will help you filter out your husband's nighttime story-telling!

We have only used the white noise and that works well. It has a volume control, and that we have not turned up very high. It could drown out a light snorer.

They will tone down the loud music and severely mute the talking outside your door. One of the reason I started wearing ear plugs was the fact that I worked nights and the maintenance office was below me. I have an air purifier in my room that I don't hear once I put in the ear plugs. My wife snores and it blocks out all but the most severe snoring. These are what our hospital uses when you get and MRI. Headphones are the only thing that will completely block out sound but these will make you happy.

I've managed to sleep 6+ hours with them on. Not the most comfortable but not bad. If you can use a pillow you should be fine. I've used a rolled up aircraft blanket which was enough.

I don't know about blocking snoring. I use to drowned out noises from the street and it works well for that.

I would say they are average at reducing outside noise. They do cover your ears, the seal would depend on the size/shape of your ears.

You can comfortably sleep on your back in them. They'll block some of the AC and neighbors but not all of it. I'd even say they would only block part of that noise. You could wear them while playing ocean sounds or white noise though. The combination of the background noise and the noise cancelling might do the trick. But the headphones alone won't cancel the noise.

It helps snoring. In my case, at least, it didn't stop it entirely but it does enough that it no longer bothers my husband.

I got these for my husbands snoring to block it out. It did not work. It somewhat muffles the sound kinda like if you are under water and you can still hear all the loud noise in the pool area, it's just not as clear. For the price they are worth trying. The quality is very good. They are attached to something that can go around your neck. As far as quality I'd say excellent. Maybe I'm not inserting properly or my husbands snoring is unbearable. I can hear him in another room with my door shut and our bedroom door shut. Give them a try, they seem pretty nice quality. Very durable better than the foam for sure.

I'd think they'd be damned uncomfortable unless you sleep on your back without turning your head to the side at all. But, then, I've never tried sleeping with them on, so I can't provide an answer from personal experience. You'd probably be better off using some ear plugs to block out noisy neighbors.

I use these for sleeping. I don't like the foam ones for environmental reasons / how frequently you have to dispose - I can wash these & reuse - the ridges seem a little softer too, which is nice - I can insert them to block almost all noise; but also adjust them so I can hear conversation but block or muffle a lot of the surrounding noise around me.

I would not want to wear them to bed, where you would expect snoring to occur. They are large and would be very awkward. As for their soundproofing qualities, however, they would significantly reduce the sound of the snorer, but they would also reduce any other sound you may want to hear.

The affect on snoring is mild but noticeable--I have been told. Since I am wearing it and asleep I cannot say for certain. Because the snoring originates in a different place in the throat and mouth, if you still have neck fat or tonsils or other restrictions then you will still snore. However, they have been invaluable towards keeping an airway open, causing me to sleep better, and cost less than strips. Sometimes you wake up and its gone--not because it fell out but in sleep you pull it out. As long as you can find it in the sheets, you're good.

They block out noise well. I used them on a few flights, had a seat near the engines and it did not bother me at all, I could hear the movie from my iPad very well

Kassy, If they are positioned correctly, it should block him out. My husband does the same thing plus occasionally snores and I never hear him. I only use one for both ears because for me they are too thick to be comfortable. Just be sure you get it pretty equally divided and fashion it to fit. I hope this helps.
