We have added Silicon Ear Plugs to the shop. They are mouldable, reusable, and (crucially) the only earplug on our shelf that works properly under closed-back headphones.
Unlike foam or ring-style earplugs, silicon sits over the opening of your ear canal rather than inside it. That means no pressure, no occlusion effect, and none of that underwater feeling your nervous system takes ages to get used to.
A quick summary:
- 2 pairs for £2.99, less than a coffee
- Mouldable fit that adapts to any ear shape, ideal if your ear canals are different sizes
- Reusable, reshape and reuse multiple times
- No occlusion effect, so it won't amplify your own heartbeat or breathing
- Works under headphones, so you can layer them with over-ear closed-backs for maximum noise reduction
If you have been looking for a sensory cocoon for open-plan offices, noisy commutes or deep-focus stretches, pair them with Focus Frames and you have both audio and visual distractions covered for under £105.
Head to the Silicon Ear Plugs product page to grab a pair. If you want the full story (including how they stack up against foam, Loop and Happy Ears), read our complete earplug ranking, or see our quick how-to guide.
