How do these work against the noise of snoring?

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 don't. I tried to sleep four feet away from the open sinus that is my father and they merely muffled the snoring. Maybe that's my issue, i expected silence and these don't provide that.

They are a GREAT ear plug. While I have not tested them with snoring, they block a motorcycle pretty well.

They dampen noise, but are not silencers. I can wear these on airplanes and hear people talking just fine, but the overall noise level is seriously reduced. It assists one to ignore the noise more easily. Depending upon your ability to ignore soft noises, these may or may not work for you.

The snoring noise will be reduced somewhat but if it is loud snoring I think you will be wasting your money. :)

Regardless of comfort or safety, these aren't the proper earplugs for sleeping. They are meant to filter noise (to make concerts or whatever safer). But they aren't exactly noise-blocking for sleep. You should look for some foam plugs for that sort of thing.

I have used these many times on airplanes. They block out a significant amount of the noise. I put on soft music at a very low volume and sleep soundly...or just turn on the noise cancellation circuitry and block out the constant whoosh of the aircraft flying through the air. I gave a pair to one of my sons who travels a lot and he now swears by them.

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.

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!

I have used them successfully to block off noise from heavy stompers living above me but they have carpets. I would think it would work because it also takes the edge off of street noise since my room faces the street which has a streetcar going by frequently. Sometimes they almost block too much noise because I can't hear my clock radio's music turn on so I pull them out of my ears slightly. They bring me peace and I can finally sleep soundly!

I don't know. I don't snore. I'd ask the company, then see what their return policy is if it doesn't work.

They wouldn't. They would reduce the volume, so perhaps if you can sleep with quiet snoring? Just get a pair of cheap ear plugs which snuff out everything if you want to cancel out snoring.

These are terrible for sleeping. They do not drown out snoring whatsoever, and the few times I managed to jam them in my ear and get a semi-decent seal, I woke up in the morning with my ears feeling like they needed to be popped, similar to what a change in air pressure does to your ears when travelling. It made all noise sound muted for at least a day, and was very uncomfortable.Highly recommend looking into Flents Quiet Please as an alternative. I'm a long term ear plug user when sleeping, and they're by far the most comfortable foam ear plugs I've tried.

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.

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.

If you are asking about the Marsona sound machine, I think it would definitely make the snoring much less noticeable. It may not drown it out, but it masks the sound so it makes sleeping with a snorer much less irritating. It does have a volume control, so you can actually turn it up quite a bit. That helps too.

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.

Ear plugs are the answer for snoring in the same room. The machine can be turned up to a higher volume, but really drowns out noise outside the room with the bedroom door closed as well.

The sounds are realistic enough for me. It does not make clicking noises. I doubt it would drown out a snorer, even light, as I would not want to turn it up that loud. I think that if you turn it up too loudly, the sounds would not be realistic.

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.
