Would these be helpful to drown out the sound of snoring? Thank you for responding.

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.

Just my opinion, but I think not. As I said in my review, I found them too uncomfortable to wear for a few minutes, but even if they fit you better than they fit me, I don't see how anyone could possibly sleep with these on. Try some simple earplugs like these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0001YXOEE/ref=nosim/103-1990038-9555833?n=228013

yes but they would be uncomfortable to sleep in, maybe spouse needs sleep study and wear a c pap while sleeping

Yes, they would suppress voices and office noise. If people speak to you when you have them on, you have to remove them to hear what they are saying.

Yes. However, the sound protectors are bulky enough that they might be uncomfortable during sleep. They would certainly inhibit sleeping on one's side. I suspect ear plugs or ear buds might work better because they will likely be more comfortable.

Yes...my wife snores pretty bad and this is exactly why I bought them. They work well. What I like most about them is that I can still hear the alarm clock or a smoke detector or even a loud voice and such but everything is muffled to the point that it is not disturbing.

Absolutely! I sleep in them every night because my boyfriend snores... They're so much more comfortable than those ones you buy at the sporting goods store or Home Depot. I will say that about once every couple of weeks I have to give my ears a break from them, but without them I would be one grumpy girlfriend!!

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.

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.

They would probably work pretty well as far as blocking out those noises once you are already asleep or are falling asleep. They are good for muffling those kind of noises well but not so good at deep rumbling noises that kind of shake the walls. I guess that's a good thing though, so you could still hear someone banging on the door if necessary.

I am not so satisfied with the build and sound quality so I got rid of it, I bought the Bose ones, those are the best ever. For the snoring part, I don't know, but i am sure they will help a bit. Every surround noise is suppressed or way in the background, but I would like to advice you to go for in-ear noise canceling or just earplugs from the industrial world to be bought at every craft shop. Snoring means trying to sleep and the wear comfort of the on-ear or over-ear is not so good if you would like to turn on one side......

To a point yes. I used them on a family trip to disney and my parents snore LOUD like lawn mowers. The plugs helped big time but you can just faintly hear things. Nothing will block out sound 100% really

No, they are made for listening to loud music but still hearing all the frequencies. Use regular foam earplugs to block snoring.

No. I would not recommend these for sleeping, unless you sleep on your back and never put your ear down onto the pillow. The plastic sticks out of your ear and it would be uncomfortable and not work very well. For sleeping, I suggest those green foam ear plugs that are designed for sleeping. I think CVS and/or Walgreens sells them.

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

They will certainly help. Most any noise reduction solutions will, earplugs, ear muffs etc. They have good noise reduction. Check the -db levels, the higher the better.

My wife says that my snoring is much louder than crickets. They should work.

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.

No but they may reduce the sound enough for you to concentrate. They do not block out the sound completely.
