Radians CEP001-R Custom Molded Earplugs (Red)

耳栓の中ではトップレベルの遮音機能です。自分の耳に完全にフィットする形に形成するので、装着する際に耳の中の空気を抜くように装着すると密着性が増すとともに耳の中の空気も少なくなるので遮音性が挙がり、耳栓としてはこれ以上ない遮音力を発揮します。耐水性なので3年以上同じものを洗いながら使い続けてますが、石鹼だけでは落ち切らない汚れが蓄積するので重曹水での洗浄もお勧めです(洗浄後は水に1時間以上つけおきして入念にすすがないと耳の皮膚が傷みます)

I tried to to do DIY customs IEMs but it didn't come out the way I spected. What it did work was this product that it did what it was supposed to do. Very easy to use and to mold.

I bought these several weeks ago for sleeping. For years I've been using the cone-shaped foam style that you roll and insert in your ears. I used them because that's all I knew and they have the highest decibel protection. They are excellent really but argh! so frustrating! I can get them seated in one ear 9/10 with no problems. In the other ear it can take 15-20 frustrating minutes to get the thing seated so that sound doesn't "leak" in. Fast forward to two months back when I heard of custom molded ear plugs. Eh? What's that you say? I edged a little closer to that conversation. I hesitated because they seemed geared for shooters and the decibel protection is lower AND with this brand, I heard one YT reviewer talk about them being "hardened plastic" when finished. I couldn't imagine that would feel comfortable in the ear. Well, I bought, I molded, and I slept...delicious, undisturbed sleep! Yay!! And the legend of the gum-shew was born. One side of these things looks like a wad of bright pink bubble gum and the other side looks like a cashew. And so, gum-shew! Some things I like about these ear plugs: when the product arrived, I saw the manufacture date was just a few weeks before I received them; that seemed a plus as freshly produced putty should mix better and reduce any problems, I decided. I also liked that the product came together easily. I was worried that it would be very stiff and difficult to work with. But it was very soft, softer than gum even. I really like that the finished product is easy to insert and remove. You'd think this hard plastic would be hard to work with, but no, they are simple to use. It was easy to process the putty although I wish I had rolled it a bit before inserting, to give it a better shape inside the ear canal. One of the plugs has a nice symmetrical shape and the other looks more blob like. But both work! It's simple to pop them in before sleep. It takes maybe 5 minutes for them to 'heat' up and then they feel even more conformed to the ear. My major dislike is that they are uncomfortable when I'm sleeping on my side. Because they are hard plastic, that's just not pleasant to me. It's a minor thing and some folks may not mind it at all. Fortunately I mostly sleep on my back and once I'm deeply asleep, if I roll onto my side, I often don't notice that discomfort and unconsciously adjust around it. All in all, I really like these buds and I'd recommend them to others. I use earplugs because I have difficulty staying asleep. I can be easily awakened with ambient noises like the neighbor's dog barking or loud vehicles. Also my husband snores sometimes; it's not terribly loud but it's difficult to go back to sleep if I'm awakened by it. But with these gum-shews, I stay asleep and it's so so good to have a night of uninterrupted sleep! When wearing these gum-shews I can still hear most things and even converse with my husband next to me, but all the sounds are muffled, creating a lovely 'cone of silence' that makes it easy to fall asleep and stay asleep. I really value that these are sturdy, comfortable, easy to use and they work! Plus they are not so dense that I'm deaf to all sound--because I do want to hear if there are emergencies. These custom plugs are wonderful and worth it if you like sleeping in silence like I do!

Working graveyard i quickly realized I need some earplugs for sleepindiring the day. When molded properly these provide adequate noise cancelation and are very comfortable for sleeping. I sleep on my side and these work great. With respect to comfort I hardly notice they are in my ear. I like these so much I bought two more pairs. One for the shooting range and one to give to my family member who hates those little orange foam plugs that you squish and place in your ear. These things are also really good at staying put. After proper molding they will not come out of your ear unless you pull them out. Great product and fast shipping.

I'm picky about taking care of my ears. I'm a musician - they are kind of important to my livelihood. So I was looking for a way to create earplugs that were comfortable AND effective. I ordered the Radians kit to "roll my own." Worked great. Then it dawned on me...wouldn't this fix my problems with my cell phone's Bluetooth headset? And it did. Here's the deal. I use a Jawbone Icon. It sits inside my ear - no outer ear clip. After an hour or so, it becomes noticeably uncomfortable. So I thought, maybe I can combine the Radians molded material with the headset, to make a comfortable, custom fit. Bingo! I took the headset, and attached the smallest of the rubberized covers and adjusted it to fit my ear. I then mixed up half of each of the Radians materials, stuck it in my ear (just as if I was making an ear plug), then pressed the Jawbone gadget into the plug, gently molding the material around the business end of the headset, making sure to completely cover the rubberized cover. I let the material cure for 10 minutes, then removed the whole thing from my ear. After another hour of letting it cure, I used an electric drill/bit to drill about a 1/4" hole from the outside, down where the material went down into the ear canal. After a little judicious trimming with an Xacto knife, I was done. I poped the Jawbone icon back into the molded piece, and...Presto! I had a Bluetooth headset, custom-fitted to my ear. How does it work? Perfectly. I mean, it's every bit as good a seal (if not better) as what you get on an expensive set of noise-blocking earbuds. Waaaaay cool. So if you're dissatisfied with the fit of your Bluetooth headset, this is the stuff to buy to fix that problem, once and for all.
