Introduction

While earplugs have been around since ancient times, its modern version came about over half a century ago. Initially made from silicone, these early-modern earplugs were intended for swimmers to prevent water from entering their ear canals. A few years later, the first foam earplugs entered the market to accommodate a variety of activities, including watersports, loud concerts and blocking out noise while sleeping (source).

One of the most popular forms of earplugs selling today are custom-fit earplugs with Decibullz standing out from the crowd. These earplugs provide up to 31 dB of hearing protection suitable for even the loudest of snoring partners and a fit that suits any ear canal, regardless of the shape and size. They also happen to be pretty sleek looking, especially when compared to the old-school neon earplugs so commonplace today.

Key Features

Re-moldable earplugs – Unlike foam or other types of earplugs, re-moldable earplugs like Decibullz allows you to find just the right fit without compromising their quality. If you don’t get it right the first time around, you can always try again until you do.

Comfortable fit – Since Decibullz aren’t the average one-size-fits-all product, they’re more comfortable to wear for activities like sleeping. That said, Decibullz may not be suitable if you’re primarily a side or stomach sleeper as they may put too much pressure on your ears.

Easy to use – While it may take a couple of tries to find a comfortable fit, Decibullz are easy to use simply by heating, then molding the material.

A wide variety of uses – Aside from blocking out environmental noise or snoring to get a better night’s sleep, Decibullz works for many other activities such as peaceful motorcycle rides, NASCAR races, shooting ranges, work, plus more.

Detailed Decibullz Ear Plugs Review

Quality – 4/5

Made of high-quality thermoplastic designed not to warp, stain or crack, Decibullz are more durable than traditional foam earplugs and more comfortable than their silicon counterparts. Even people with odd-sized ear canals won’t have issues with these plugs thanks to their molded fit and three different sized flanges included with the product. That said, prolonged use may cause your ears to itch but this is also true of other earplugs and thus shouldn’t carry much weight.

Ease of Use – 5/5

Decibullz require no learning curve to use properly. All you have to do is heat the plugs in boiling water for a few minutes and then mold them to your ear once they’ve cooled down a bit. It’s that simple. Thus, you don’t have to mess with wax trying to get the proper fit and don’t have to concern yourself with extra parts that need assembly. Re-molding them is also a breeze, again requiring nothing more than hot water to soften the plugs.

Features – 4/5

Aside from a carrying case and three different sized flanges included with the package, Decibullz earplugs don’t come with any fancy bells and whistles. Instead, the company lets the earplugs speak for themselves, doing the one thing they do best: reduce noise.

Price – 3.5/5

The price point of Decibullz are a bit higher than others on the market but they’re also only one of a few that can be re-molded and reused repeatedly to last for months and years. If you’ve had trouble finding night-time earplugs that fit comfortably, Decibullz’s price point will seem negligible once you get your first night of silent, blissful sleep.

How Does It Compare?

Mighty Plugs

Unlike bed fans, the ChiliPad cools and heats your bed by circulating water through silicone tubing built into a mattress pad. The temperature is easily controlled from the unit itself or by using a wireless remote control.

Some people have a hard time getting used to the tubes, which can feel a bit hard whenever water runs through them. But so long as you can get past that, the ChiliPad may be a good – albeit expensive – option. Compared to other items on this list, the ChiliPad comes closest to the BedJet V2 in terms of effectiveness.

Drift to Sleep Moldex

At 33 dB, Drift to Sleep Moldex earplugs provides decent noise reduction and their soft, foam texture allows for comfortable sleep. That said, their one-size-fits-all design may not fit as well for people with larger or smaller than average-sized ear canals.

 

Moldex earplugs come with 100% money-back guarantee, which is a nice bonus.

HearHeed

HearHeed earplugs are made of a soft, flexible, reusable silicone rubber that’s both comfortable and durable. They’re also a bit shorter in length than many other earplugs, making them a good option for side sleepers.

 

But at 28 dB, HeadHeed don’t offer as much sound protection as Decibullz, which may be a factor depending on the noise level you’re dealing with. While slightly lower priced than Decibullz, HearHeed are a bit more expensive than others on this list.

Woowexx

Like HearHeed, Woowexx earplugs are made from a soft, silicone rubber designed for repeated use. But while they’re water resistant and safe for allergy sufferers, their one-size-fits-all design may not fit well for some people.

 

Unlike other earplugs on this list, Woowexx offer three different earplugs with three noise reduction levels to choose from: 20 dB, 28 dB, and 30 dB.
