I like the earplugs, but disagree with the price increase. In October 2022, one pair of the original cost $17.50 ... by February 2025, it increased to $22.50 ... and now in June 2026, they cost $25.... See more

If you order one and it doesn't fit you are screwed. I ordered the single package of a small set. Took them out to try and they were too large.
No returns on a single, opened package. So screwed out of $22.
Have used happy ears for two years already, making sure I clean it properly and buying new every 6 months. I can see reviews are mixed but personally I had an amazing experience. I usually buy discovery pack as I can fit both big and medium size and my boyfriend uses the small ones. I am very sensitive to noise and sleep on my ears and find it comfy and great for sleeping, it really helped me when I went to a festival and music was still loud at night and I wanted to sleep.
Never had to use customer service though, so can't comment on that. Delivery is not super fast, but I don't mind, I feel like we are a bit spoiled with Amazon and expect everything to arrive in 24hrs.
I ordered the discovery pack as I wasn’t sure which size to go for but the smallest ones are uncomfortably big in my ears and although I fall asleep they wake me up as I find them too uncomfortable to keep in! So they are a waste of money and I don’t know if I can return them as I have tried them out? Also there were no instructions so maybe I am not using them correctly.
I’ve had an amazing experience with Happyears, and a lot of that is thanks to Sonja. She’s been fantastic at handling my inquiries, always quick to respond and genuinely helpful.
And the earplugs? They are by far the best I’ve ever used! Incredible comfort, great fit, and they block out noise perfectly without sacrificing sound quality. Highly recommend!
UPDATED REVIEW:
After messaging support for a refund for the first time, they told me I can save the postage and time as they refunded it in total and I do not need to send it back.
I suspect it is because someone saw this review and wanted it changed, but I cannot confirm.
So I removed a review part, that does not describe my experience anymore and I changed the review from 1 to 4 stars as the product does not fit/seal properly but my previous concerns about the practices were solved by this.
I hope this is the standard when it comes to returns, if not, you know my experience.
About the fit:
Does not seal properly/fully, does not stay in consistently/falls out (all sizes)
Had some sound reduction but I am not confident due to it being inconsistent for me.
OUTDATED PREVIOUS REVIEW:
Bought a eco-friendly Discovery Pack to figure out my size and if they work. They advertised with 30 day money back guarantee etc.
Now in the process of returning them because they dont fit, I read that I have to pay 6€ ON TOP of an already more expensive (eco friendly) set of earbuds.
I don't know why I already pay a higher price to THEN again have to pay an adidtional fee because I am returning the eco-friendly version.
About the fit:
Does not seal properly, does not stay in consistently/falls out (all sizes)
I’ve had Loop earplugs and I absolutely love these Happy Ears. They are adorable, they fit very well and they block out so much noise. My boyfriend wasn’t so lucky with his fitting as perfect :( I will continue to buy!
If Zero was an option for the quality of the product, that's how many stars I would have selected. The earplugs arrive with no instructions whatsoever, just a message that I'm an "awesome human being" for buying them and a statement that I should keep cleaning them - no instructions on what to use to clean them either.
The large size is still very small and I have very small ears. I put them on in my kitchen with my dishwasher running, which is nearly silent. I could still hear it distinctly.
The earplugs are absolutely garbage and the company is scamming people to make a fortune. Looking at them I would say they cost probably a dollar to make each set.
HOWEVER, I did get an immediate refund when I contacted the company and asked for a return. So their customer service is very good.
I ordered some time ago, only just getting round to trying. I tried the Discovery Pack, which was a good job, as I didn’t think I would require the large size. But that is where slight criticism comes in, the earplugs do not feel as if they fill the ears, and noise can still flood in. They’re comfortable, and surprisingly do reduce noise besides earlier statements. The only thing being is, I don’t feel like I’ve had the best nights sleep after using them.
Very disappointed
Poor quality bad fit and thus little noise reduction
These are the first earplugs i have ever bought. I bought them since my family can be quite loud at night. I sleep on my side and the mid size plugs from the ocean discovery pack work great. I dont hear any noise from my family or from the main road i live next to. Really glad I found these first
My mom purchased the Discovery Package in May 2024 in preparation for a trip with her snoring daughter. Unfortunately, none of the ear plugs fit very well nor were able to block out much noise. The company was fantastic though ~ providing a refund once notified of the limited success with their ear plugs. Hopefully, a future design will provide better comfort and sound insulation (maybe designed more like a silicon ear bud) because the concept is great as is the environmental conscientiousness. Thank you, Happy Ears ~ a legit company with a great concept and great intentions... only needing an expanded design. -- KY
Dreadful service, no contact details on website, no answer on Instagram. Horrible plastic rubbish. I think this is maybe a scam website.
Hard and a bit painful to get into ears and wake up with pain. They block out a good amount of sound once you manage to get them in
Difficult to get into my ears, and go out themselves.... Due to the long stick, doesn't work since I am a side sleeper. Changing position doens't help. Both ways they alsmost don't cancel out any noise.
Also the small casings to store them really look like rubbish. They won't even close...
I am a side sleeper and they are really comfortable! They are small ,not pointy into your ears and they don't stick out of your ears either. Because of their shape, when placed properly in your ears, they stand side ways to your head instead of sticking out and pocking into your ear while you sleep on your side. I really appreciated the package with the different sizes, so that you can find what fits you.
Fantastic customer service, I also appreciate that the ear plugs are Made in Sweden (all other brands I've seen are made in China) and I really like that some of their products are made of ocean plastic too.
These earplugs block very little noise. They were a waste of $45. I'll go back to my wax plugs that work 5 times better.
Don't bother, they do nothing. Nothing. They don't block out ANY noise whatsoever. Free foam ear plugs are far better.
Best ear plugs I've ever had and a true lifesaver! A bar moved in directly underneath my flat in July 2023 and my mental health was hanging on by a thread because of the venue's bass going on until the early hours, Thursday to Sunday, and I wasn't able to escape it. These earplugs reduced the decibels from the bass dramatically and really helped to keep me sane. Thank you Happy Ears! I've moved out of the flat now but continue to use my ear plugs when I need to. I think the price is pretty reasonable considering you reuse them - I imagine mine will last a long time.
I couldn’t use the earplugs, unfortunately, even the largest size is too small and don’t block out any noise. After my purchase I received an e-mail from Happy Ears asking me to review my purchase, which I did, explaining that I couldn’t use them and why. Very shortly agter I received an e-mail from Happy Ears saying that they would refund my purchase, I didn’t expect this. I Think this is very good service and therefore I give them 4 stars.
