let's we have a chat about the decibellz custom molded earplugs now
personally I was quite interested in doing some research on these because
over the years I've looked at some similar products because I've just never
been a big fan of using the big bulky ear muffs but at the same time I don't
particularly like using the foam earplugs they're just not comfortable
for me personally so I was very interested to see how they're stacked
out what people's opinion is about it and I can say to you that if you've been
looking for the reviews about this product and this episode should
hopefully save you quite a bit of time I've already done a whole lot of
research and what follows is an effect like a sum of all the reviews we're
going to talk about the positives and negatives things to consider but just
one other point of context before we get into that I do want to note that this
product seems to be quite polarizing and that people seem to love it or hate it
with not a huge number of people in the middle and I found this quite
interesting I was quite curious why this would be now just to give you an example
on Amazon it only gets 64 percent four or five
star positive reviews and it's got something like 27% one or two star
reviews so that's not particularly impressive for something that is a
best-seller on Amazon and as of January 2018 when I did the research it was a
best-seller on Amazon so stick with me I'll run through what I found in the
research and hopefully I can give you a little bit of a steer in the right
direction to help you figure out whether you're more likely to fall within the
lover or hater category in regards to this product so without further ado
let's we talk about what the people who loved it loved about it now there's five
things that primarily came up first of all people were just being very
impressed with how effective it is how well it works various different stories
about it working well under very various different scenarios number two it came
up a lot that people found this a lot cooler to wear in comparison to ear muffs
number three the fact that it allows you to get a proper cheek weld versus
wearing bulky earmuffs once again number four and this is this
was a big selling point the fact that it was easy to make to mold and that you
could remote it as much as you wanted to get the ideal mold for your ear now as
far as I'm aware the competing products don't offer this you know repetitive
ability to remould it and this was very popular with positive reviewers
lastly the fact that there's various different color options was once again
popular moving on to things to consider I've got three things under this
category it's kind of my neutral category you need to make your own
judgment call whether these things are positives or negatives for you the first
thing is just to be aware of the fact that you're not molding the whole thing
and this came up with a few different reviewers because perhaps they had
misunderstood what they were buying what you're actually buying is a product
which allows you to mold the outer part so that part was sitting visible in your
ear from the outside so that's hard plastic and then you're connecting to
that a plug or an attachment which is either foam or silicon of various sizes
and that's the part that goes into your ear canal so I pass it on because I
noted that coming up quite a few times with people misunderstanding what they
were actually purchasing number two while the molding process is described
as being great it did come up various times that it in some people's opinion
it would only work good for you if you have large ear canals and or don't mind
having something stuffed into your ears now I firstly pass that on to you for
you know what it says at face value but perhaps more importantly my suspicion is
that something along this line that is the cause of the day and night
difference between people loving or hating this product my suspicion is the
way your ears are made personally the size of your ear canals and or you know
how that's structured in all likelihood it predisposes you to you know falling
within the lover or hater category for this product I will talk a
little bit more about this a little bit further but that's something to consider
and what I recommend is just have a think about if you use any similar
products in the past how you feel with using ear plugs you know are they
comfortable for you are they effective etc you know asking yourself a few
questions like that may help steer you in the right direction as to which camp
you're more likely to for with them number three under things to consider it
seems pretty clear to me from the research that it's probably not a good
option for sleeping especially if you're a side sleeper a lot of people saying
because of the molded part being hard plastic it's just not comfortable with
the weight of your head pressing down on number four and the things to consider
is just to be aware of the fact that the 31db noise reduction that is
promoted about the product is applicable to when you use the foam plug versa
the silicon plug moving on to the critical reviews so as noted 27 percent
one or two star reviews on Amazon as an example so it's a real love-hate type
relationship going on here with this product the main two criticisms that
came up firstly was that critical reviews described it as been
uncomfortable the main reason they described it as
being uncomfortable is because of the hard plastic they they found it
uncomfortable against the ear some people just didn't like the feel of
it against the ear they were also some people saying they didn't like the they
felt uncomfortable with the insert going into the ear canal so once again if you
look sort of person who feels like comfortable foam earplugs
you know you perhaps got a higher chance of feeling uncomfortable with this
product the second line of criticism was basically the polar opposite of the
positive reviews a lot of people expressing disappointment and saying
there did not work for them it was not
effective at its primary purpose of sound reduction some people saying that
you know it's sticking their fingers in the air got a better result
full-spectrum some people saying it had no effect some people saying it had
disappointing effect etc so once again this just reinforces my opinion that
it's probably you know to do with people's personal ear canal structure as
to you know which side of the coin you're going to be on as to whether you
like or hate these to the credit of the seller I do note that on the critical
reviews they were really onto it with posting comments their comments were
usually along the lines of look feel free to contact us we're very happy to
help you get the ideal mold for your product the implication being that the
person who had criticized the product had not adequately and molded it for the
ear to see the benefits now this may well be true but my gut feel is it's
perhaps not the full story I really do feel because of the day and night
difference between how much people love it and hate it I really do feel it's to
do with the structure of your ear canal as to whether this is actually effective
for you or not regardless of how well you mold it to your ear now I don't have
factual proof of that but that's just my gut call and what I pass on to you you
know as a result of the research I did the one other thing that you know it
also leads me to think this a lot of the critical reviewers emphasize the fact
that they read the instructions multiple times they remoulded at multiple times
and they were very confident that they had got an ideal mold but it still just
didn't work for them so you make your judgment call there but I'd really
highly recommend that you consider any experience as you've had in the past
with similar products and your earplugs okay so that was the result of the
research as always I'll put the links in the description below for the major
retailers so you can compare prices are also pop a list of the most
popular alternatives in case you want to check them out so thank you for watching
I hope this has been helpful and more catching exciting
