Okay this will be my review for 3M corded mouse reduction earplugs. I live nearby a busy highway near to a city which can get really loud and noisy during morning 8 AM to 10 PM in a day. Those annoying honking and stupid bullet silencer sounds can really mess up your mental health and mood levels. Therefore it is advisable to use ear plugs for a quiter and healthy environment. Pros: 1) Minimizes Noise levels to 80% 2) Can be used for various Purposes ( Heavy Duty Drilling Work/ Studying / Outdoor Camping / Concerts / Sleeping ) I normally use it for sleeping at night. 3) Cheap & Affordable 4) Build Quality Is highly effective than other foam based ear plugs. I have used foam based ear plugs previously but they usually got damaged after a month or so. 5) Comes with the strings attached so it doesn't get misplaced. ( But it's for every type of ear plugs , foam or silicone. I don't get it why I listed it in Pros but why not :D ) Cons: 1) Not 100 percent Noise Cancellation 2) Not advisable to use for longer 6-8 hrs as the inner ear starts to ache. (I personally think Foam based plugs do a good job at this) Other than that. I think these are pretty great but. You can go for it.

Seals the ear completely, if you have any ear infection, it will only increase that. Since my right ear drum is already very sensitive, this complete sealing puts pressur on your eardrum. It causes pain after some time.

It's useful to reduce wind noise

Doesn’t fit the ear properly and doesn’t block surround noise. The material used is of cheap quality. Don’t buy it, will not recommend . Just a waste of money.

So, I was looking for ear plugs to use while riding my Speed 400. The bike itself isn't loud but the wind noise in my SMK Typhoon helmet (research says wind noise is inevitable in most, if not all, helmets) is quite high at speeds crossing 80kmph. Long term exposure to high wind noise will turn you deaf. I needed plugs that wouldn't totally drown out sound (horns, bluetooth helmet headset etc) but get rid of the wind noise. These work perfectly, most sounds are audible but the wind noise is muted. To insert the plugs comfortably, grab the top of your left ear with your right hand over the top of your head. Pull your ear up and front/ back (each ear is different) so that the ear canal is straight, making it easy to glide the ear plugs in. Vice versa for the other ear.

Good quality, good sound dampening, soft foam good for short term wear, not for long hours.

I had used 3M's Disposable Foam Ear Plugs, but, reordering them again and again was a big headache in itself and ofcourse, as the name suggests, it wasn't durable and had to be thrown away within a week or two. However, 3M 1270 beats the durability. You can wash it with water when it gets dirty and use it again. Also, the thread quality is nice and the color looks elegant. The problem comes when you will be using it for a long time. Your ear will start paining within an hour unless you remove it as soon as possible. How longer the pain will last depends on your ear though. Also, the pain is sometimes way too much to bear when trying to plug it in the ear. 1100 didn't had both of these problems as they were softer than these. However, these are cost effective and durable and also does it work pretty nicely. So, 5 stars from me!
