Our take

Simple and effective noise reduction at a great price.

Alright, let’s get into these Flents Quiet Please Earplugs. First off, these things are made of this soft foam material that’s really comfortable, especially if you’re using them to sleep. They don’t dig into your ears, which is a big plus if you’re a side sleeper like me. It’s not like they’re reinventing the wheel here, but comfort goes a long way, especially when the alternative is tossing and turning all night because of noise.

Now, when it comes to blocking sound, they do a pretty decent job. They’re not going to take you into a cone of silence, but they definitely muffle the outside world enough to make a difference. If you’re dealing with loud snoring or city noise, these won’t make it vanish, but they’ll take the edge off. It’s kind of like hitting the mute button on life, but maybe only a couple of notches down.

One thing to note, though, is that they’re kind of a one-and-done deal. They’re disposable, so you’re not going to get a ton of uses out of each pair before they start feeling a bit gross or lose their shape. It’s not a huge deal if you’re just using them occasionally, but if you’re planning to use them every night, be ready to keep restocking.

In terms of fit, they’re pretty standard, which is good news for most folks. They don’t have that weird, overly tight feeling that some earplugs do. But, and this is a bit of a tradeoff, if you’ve got particularly small or large ear canals, you might find them slipping out or not sealing perfectly. It’s one of those things where they’re great if they fit, but a bit tricky if they don’t.

Overall, the Flents Quiet Please Earplugs are solid for what they are. They’re comfy, they do enough to dull the noise, and they’re easy to use. Just keep in mind the disposable nature and the fit tradeoff. If you’re after a simple, no-fuss solution to cut down on noise while you sleep or relax, they’re definitely worth a shot — just don't expect miracles.
