do these block out someone snoring

I'm not sure if they block out snoring as I typically use them in a musical setting and they do a great job at cutting out the "fatiguing" frequencies. If you are planning on sleeping with them I wouldn't recommend as they have a plastic "stem" that sticks out of your ear and if pressed can cause pain for prolonged periods of time. For sleeping and yard work I use the LaserLite foam earplugs, they are comfortable and work great at blocking unwanted sounds. Sorry this wasn't directly related to snoring, but a great product nonetheless!

If you intend to be sleeping beside the snorer I wouldn't recommend these. They have a small extension that goes beyond flush with the ear. It would be uncomfortable if you turn your head on the pillow. If you are up and functioning around the snorer it would reduce the intensity of the sound but not 100%

No they will not. As another reviewer commented, they are great for protecting your hearing. Their main selling point is that you are supposed to be able to still hear everything as if you had no earplugs in. So no, they don't block snoring.

I use them for motorcycle riding so I have to believe they would help for snoring...BUT...the method of insertion into and out of the ear canal is a short, stiff plastic piece to grab onto. Seems to me it would not be fun to turn your side and have a pillow put pressure on the rod. Maybe I am wrong and it would be fine. Not sure.

My wife tells me that it cuts down the noise level, but they can be uncomfortable to sleep on. If you sleep on your back this may not be a problem.

Not 100% sure but I would be willing to bet they would block out all but the worst snorers. They are comfortable so you could sleep with them so give them a try.

Personally, I cannot sleep while wearing these, although I could if I were able to sleep flat on my back with only the back of my head on the pillow. Even without the noise cancelling feature turned on, however, these do block out a great deal of sound due to the foam encasing your ears. Batteries last a long time in these, so not using the noise cancel feature is kind of pointless in most circumstances. So far I've had at least 20 hours total usage on one set of batteries, albeit not continuous.

A little, but it really helps to block out the light. My husband wears ear plugs as well as the mask and he says that he sleeps very well. It does cover the ears, but I wouldn't count on it blocking out all noises. It definitely keeps out light and is great if a person has to sleep during the day!

I wouldn't bet on this being enough by itself to block out snoring. The noise cancelling will activate without plugging into anything, but it only slightly muffles the sounds around you, it doesn't help you block them out very thoroughly unless you have something playing to help distract your hearing from the unwanted sounds; you could plug into a noise generator instead of music, though. It works with any device that has a standard headphone jack, and the description seems to indicate that the iPhone version microphone will also work with the iPad, but I don't have that one to say for certain.

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

No. They are very nice thick and soft. We use them for my Mom- who is confined to the bed. No noticablenoise. We are on our second order and they last thru many many washings. Hope this helps.

I've reordered these because they work the best when a partner tends to snore. Yes, I can sleep comfortably on my side. Occasionally they have come out, but not often. Usually after I've worn them for awhile but I also think I've pulled them out and went back to sleep. I'll continue to use these ear plugs. I like the neutral colored ones when I go to sporting events or concerts, only because the color doesn't give it away that I'm wearing ear plugs.

I have not used them on a plane, but I sleep in them every night due to a husband that snores like a chainsaw. They work very well and are comfortable.

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

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.

My roommate used to snore quite loudly and these allowed me to sleep through the night. On nights where they fell out I'd just pop em back in.

David, the noise cancelling works by it self without having to plug it into anything, so it should help cut down the snoring noises for your partner. You do need to get the one specific for your intended player, either for apple or Android devices.

I have not slept with them on but suspect that they would not feel comfortable while sleeping with them on. They are not made for sleeping. They are made to muffle ambient sound while awake and upright.

Yes, considering they do not cover your entire ear they do block out a good amount of sound.

No, the only noise cancellation is what they block out by being sealed in your ears.

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 don't believe they would completely block the sound or create COMPLETE silence. I live right on a major road (4 lanes of traffic) with my bedroom facing the road, and they block out most of that noise...to the point where I can sleep soundly. I hope this helps.
