There are more than 20 types of 3M's hearing protection products in foam and sound isolation earbuds, but most of them are used for industrial noise protection, and there are not many models that are easy to shape and suitable for daily use.
 
1100 is 3M's most classic sound-isolating earbuds, divided into two types: with wire (1110) and without wire (1100), with plastic independent packaging, with a line model costs about 2 yuan a pair, without a line model can be purchased for about 1 yuan. 1100 is also the first model of soundproof earbuds for many Chinese people, and they are sold in offline supermarkets and stationery stores. However, its texture is hard, the resilience is not good, the foreign body feeling is strong when used, it is easy to cause ear canal swelling and pain, it is easy to slip out when wearing it when sleeping, and it loses its elasticity after repeated use several times, and the sense of use is poor.
 
If you lose confidence in the sound-isolating earbuds because of the poor experience of the 1100, I am afraid that you will miss out on a great little thing to improve the quality of life, and 3M has also launched a lot of models that feel better to use, and the E-A-R soft is one that helps it reshape its image. It uses bright yellow slow-rebound PU foam, with a noise reduction ability of up to SNR36dB, soft and skin-friendly material, low foreign body feeling, and a small storage box that can be reused many times, but not washable. Each pair is about 4 yuan, which is a lot more expensive than 1100, but it is worth it in exchange for a more comfortable experience.
 
On the other hand, the E-A-R Push-Ins SofTouch is a very special no-rub foam sound-isolating earbuds. Although it is made of foam, the shape design is smaller than the general foam sound-isolating earplugs, and the shape is more sharp, so the design can directly grasp the plastic handle when wearing and plug the sound-isolating earbuds into the ear, without the need to rub and wait for the rebound with your hands, similar to Howard Leight's Quiet Band Shooting Earplugs, the noise reduction ability reaches SNR31dB, and the sound insulation effect is better. It is equipped with a connecting cord, which is suitable for intermittent noise scenarios such as construction that require frequent removal of sound-isolating earplugs. Each pair costs 49 yuan, can be reused, and can be purchased through e-commerce channels, which is more convenient than Howard Leight.
