could you use these to cancel the noise of my wife's snoring? I'd not have the music going.. just/wthe blockage of the noise trying to sleep.. Really!

Why pay $350 to wear a headset to block noise while sleeping when 99 cent foam earplugs will do a better job? If you really want to wear a headset to shut out noise then go buy one from a sporting goods store or hardware store that is made to block out loud sounds specifically. If you're not going to listen to music then what's the point?

The snoring noise will be reduced somewhat but if it is loud snoring I think you will be wasting your money. :)

Heavy snoring may indicate sleep apnea syndrome, particularly if she's tired/sleepy during the daytime. Rather than just plugging your ears, she might need your help, too. She should consider talking to her doctor (she might need a sleep study).

I have actually used these for snoring-blocking when I was sharing a cabin a while back. It will block out light snoring but not heavy (you know, the surgery-required kind) but they definitely take the edge off! They also block out noisy neighbours, music playing nearby, etc.. Highly recommend them.

Should be OK as long as you do not use excessive volume. I use them while my wife sleeps and she has not complained.

I guess that depends on the snore-er. They do not 100% block out my husband's, I'd say closer to 80%. I would say he has a medium-loud snore. I truly do not believe any ear plug will give complete silence... I've tried many.

I'm not sure if they block out snoring as I typically use them in a musical setting and they do a great job at cutting out the "fatiguing" frequencies. If you are planning on sleeping with them I wouldn't recommend as they have a plastic "stem" that sticks out of your ear and if pressed can cause pain for prolonged periods of time. For sleeping and yard work I use the LaserLite foam earplugs, they are comfortable and work great at blocking unwanted sounds. Sorry this wasn't directly related to snoring, but a great product nonetheless!

They are really not noise-canceling. That is what I wanted and these do not provide that even though it says so somewhere. If you find one that is, please let me know. I wanted to read in same room as someone with tv, or on airplanes, bUT these barley even make a diffrence.

I surely wouldn't want to sleep with them on my head all night! As previously stated, they're rather bulky and would make sleeping difficult unless you're flat on your back or sitting in a chair! Also, they don't reduce noise levels enough to make a difference. Sleeping with a feather pillow over your ears would block out more noise!

If you intend to be sleeping beside the snorer I wouldn't recommend these. They have a small extension that goes beyond flush with the ear. It would be uncomfortable if you turn your head on the pillow. If you are up and functioning around the snorer it would reduce the intensity of the sound but not 100%

I have used these many times on airplanes. They block out a significant amount of the noise. I put on soft music at a very low volume and sleep soundly...or just turn on the noise cancellation circuitry and block out the constant whoosh of the aircraft flying through the air. I gave a pair to one of my sons who travels a lot and he now swears by them.

Not 100% sure but I would be willing to bet they would block out all but the worst snorers. They are comfortable so you could sleep with them so give them a try.

No they will not. As another reviewer commented, they are great for protecting your hearing. Their main selling point is that you are supposed to be able to still hear everything as if you had no earplugs in. So no, they don't block snoring.

These are not noise canceling so you can hear a little. However, I listen to music pretty much on full blast and my husband can only hear very soft, muffled sound when sitting next to me but not enough to make out what I'm listening to or disturb the pertain next to you. If you're goal is total silence then you need to pay up for the nose canceling style.

Hi JF, I apologise that these earplugs might not be able to achieve that for you as it is not meant to block all all noise but reduce loud noises at live concerts, clubs and noisy work environments. You might have to turn to foam earplugs or active noise cancelling ones. Hope that helps.

Kinda depends on how high your volume is, and how tightly they fit over your head. The foam stops most of the noise, so it shouldn't be problematic for those around you. Hope this helps you decide.

Possibly, but I've only worn them while enjoying live (loud) music, and it doesn't muffle out the music, it just brings the sound level down a few decibles - enough to enjoy the music without damaging your hearing. I usually use Flents Quiet Please Foam Ear Plugs when I want drown out loud noises.

Ahh, a fellow sufferer. But I'm afraid that's the only consolation I can offer. Not only is it likely these earmuffs will NOT completely block all the noise, there is a distinct possibility that you will get headaches if you try to wear them overnight. I speak from experience. I have lived over twenty years in residential hotels, and the very worst thing about life in them is the noise from TV and music. Nevertheless, I presently wear these earmuffs, and the headaches have diminished with use. So there is genuine hope that you may eventually be able to sleep with them. I do so every night. And they are the closest to being soundproof of any earmuffs I have tried. They are better than Peltor's preceding iteration, the 3M Peltor H10A Optime 105. And they are better than Howard Leight's Bilsom 1010970 Thunder T3 NRR30. But there's no such thing as earmuffs that completely block out all sound. Unfortunately.

I would get noise cancelling headphones for that. These do block out noise but I don't know that it's enough.

These "tune in" to distant/ quiet sounds while muffling loud/ near by noises, in essence balancing the surrounding volume. I think they would work but unless you planed to use the audio jack I think they may be to heavy for what you want.
