Ar these made from the same foam as the 3M Tekk disposable earplugs? Softer? Harder?

Have not used the 3M TEKK. They are very similar to the corded Moldex Spark Plugs. Not quite as soft as the Howard Leight MAX plugs. A lot softer than the EAR Classic corded (yellow) plugs. They are comfortable in my opinion.

Do not buy. The foam is like a earplug foam. Not exactly nice to have the sound of expanding foam in your ear.

These newer ones are a softer more pliable material. I have had no problems with them... I have two..

I find this set more comfortable for longer periods - I've worn them for 3-5 hrs my ears get tired. I had similar ones to the foam and it flattens out quickly and gets uncomfortable faster. Ultimately I think that head width and how much they have to stretch side to side will make a difference for some people - for me it isn't an issue.

It's a really soft material. Sort of like the velour ear pads but much softer and higher quality.

It is a little hard to tell by the picture but it has really nice foam filled neoprene inserts which feel like memory foam on your head and the headphone drivers itself are made of higher quality foam so they are quite comfortable. It's bot that cheap foam ears that tend to get itchy after listening for extended periods of time. I hope this answers your question :)

The coating is more slick than rubbery. I find that it's on the less tangly end of the spectrum. Also, since the left earbud cord is longer (so you can drape it behind your neck, so they stay in better, which is awesome), I use the method of wrapping the length of the cord around my hand, then wrapping the extra few inches of the left earbud cord around that bundle to keep them from getting tangled in my purse/pocket. Works pretty well.

They last a while, honestly. I think it's personal preference. The only thing to worry about is that because it's wax, it collects lint and stuff (so if you use it to sleep, that might be your main problem). But otherwise, you can change it as often as you change the regular foam ones. Since it doesn't go into your ear canal and just literally plugs the outside, it's pretty hygienic.

the cords mess up,i just bought a generic on amazon the other day as the original didnt last no tine and they cost almost $30 the others $10 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NV60A00/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A1LENG22PRMS3H is the others. love the earphones but i dont think the ar gonna hold up and you get no help from anyone.mine are only about 4 monthes old.I mow lawns and use earmoffs over them so they are well protected.i held of buying these as they were pricey should have just kept buying the cheap ones. buy these and shop around they are good till they break and then you dont mint trashing them. http://www.amazon.com/MEElectronics-Sport-Fi-Isolating-In-Ear-Headphones/dp/B0038W0K2K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1416010939&sr=8-1&keywords=earbuds&pebp=1416010940548

This question has already been answered but I do use them for sleeping and, to me, they are much more comfortable than foam ear plugs.

I'd say don't waste your money. These don't fit well and therefore won't block noise well. You would be better off buying silicone accordion style earplugs like those used in industrial/factory settings. As least you can get those to fit tightly in the ear canal and are easy to remove.

The High Fidelity ones are smaller, because they are meant to be worn in your ears for an extended period of time. My ear plugs have a little clear stem, and greyish cushions on the actual plugs, just like in the picture. Sounds like you may have gotten the wrong pair.

Not really. They're rubber, but still comfortable enough and the sound is great!

I sleep with earplugs almost every night and I do reuse them. they'reno longer useable when they get too soft to squish into your ear canal.

Yes but I prefer to make mine by boring a small hole in the center of foam earplugs. More comfortable and less feedback.

I don't find these earplug comfortable enough simply for going to concerts. I definitely wouldn't sleep with them in. Good quality foam ones are what you need for sleeping, planes, etc. You want the plugs to squish when you roll over on them.

These include one piece that has a soft plastic cover that fits over the ear bud/speaker which makes it, in my opinion, much more comfortable!
