Meh - unimpressed.
The orange ones were painful and I couldn't even get them to fit in a way that cancelled noise.<br /><br />I haven't tried wax ones.<br /><br />The gray silicone "suction" ones work best for me, but they don't stay in and I bought to wear while sleeping. I still use them here and there (hello winter plows and sidewalk shoveling - scrape, scrape, scrape....), and they work best if you to use q-tips before putting them in because any remote oil on your skin will make it so the suction let's go in a short period of time or with any even minor movement.<br /><br />Wish I really liked at least one of the three. The wax I'd be hesitant to reuse too many times which is why I didn't try them because I was looking for a solid set of earplugs to have indefinitely. So review stands the same even if wax ones work well for swimming/sleeping noise cancellation.
