Works as expected

Provided the right amount of noise reduction that I needed, and are comfortable to wear. I bought two packs in case I messed part of the first one up.

Very easy to make them and work perfectly, gone are the days of making a mold to be able to have a customized pair of ear plugs. Thanks for the improvements

Decent for wearing under a motorcycle helmet, but very stiff.
November 8, 2021
I bought these with the intent of using them when I ride my motorcycle since other earplugs always seem to get disturbed by the motion of the helmet if I talk or yawn. These stay in place for the most part, but due to how stiff they are, they have no "give" and move with the helmet. My only complaint is that they are far too firm after they cure, but I've ridden for a couple hours with them in my ears with minimal discomfort. If they were about 15% softer after curing (resulting in a silicone-like firmness), it would be so much better.
They cannot become dislodged or fall out, they form a relatively good seal, they knock out virtually all wind noise, and they stay put (for the most part).
They are entirely too firm.

Could be operator error
May 24, 2021
When I was making the mold, I probably didn’t push the material into my ear enough, because I didn’t get it far enough into my ear canal. I did not achieve a good seal. As a result the noise block was minimal. I think I will have it done professionally.
A cheap experiment

Rigid and uncomfortable for sleep

Bought these to help with side sleeping. They were rigid and very uncomfortable compared to foam plugs.
Washable and resusable
Rigid, loose fitting

After the plugs dry they become firm and not so pliable. And they shrink a millimeter or two making the fit less snug and less effective. They work ok, but not as well as when they are first formed.

March 4, 2020
Once upon a time I purchased earplugs very much like these at my local Rite-Aid. Sadly, they no longer carry them. So I unfortunately had to fight with the foam earplugs and the silicone earplugs. Neither of those types of earplugs work for me. Imagine my joy when I found these online! ! I so love these earplugs. The forming of them was so simple. And they work so great. I can now sleep in the same room as my dh and his really loud snoring. Thank you so much!!!

This kit was easy to use following directions. I rediced the thickness of the outer part (the stuff not in the ear canal) with a craft knife after the plugs cured because I am not that big. We did not have to do that for the ones I made for my husband.

Very easy method for getting custom-molded ear plugs. I have previously found wax plugs to be the most effective acoustically (far better than any type of foam plugs), and this is partly because (1) you can shape them into a cylinder shape that will then fill up part of the ear canal (I tried two pairs) and (2) the stickiness of the wax helps to provide an acoustic seal. Regretably, the material of the Radians plugs is quite soft before putting them into your ear, and so I found it impossible to get the cylinder shape required to get a good seal within the ear canal. Moreover, once they have hardened, they are (understandably) not at all sticky, so don't provide a particularly good acoustic seal. It would be fantastic if the material they are made from could be modified to address both of these two points. I would then score than 5/5.

The mold process was easy, and only took ten minutes. However, these did not provide at a minimum 15db of protection. I tried test tones used for testing hearing protection and these did not pass. Could be from molding error on my part but I followed directions to a T. They do block a few db of sound but not much.

After buying earplugs most of my life for work and sports, this has been the best buy ever, as time passes our ears grow and old plugs do not fit that well anymore, now cheap and easy to have a brand new pair that custom fits your ear without having to wait. Great product!

These were easy to make up and are exactly what I needed. I needed an earplug that wouldn't irritate my ears but still block noise. These work perfectly. I will be buying another set so I can have one for travel and one set for home. The added bonus is that they are incredibly inexpensive!

I've been using professional custom made earplugs for decades now. I've been very happy with them until recently. The local business I use is no longer up to par. I thought I would try these mainly due to the price tag. Pleasantly surprised. Although it may take me a few tries to get the ideal fit, it's an excellent alternative to professional custom made.

i ordered the make your own set. I had no problems in making a set of ear plugs. They keep the water out when I take showers and block out the loud noise, but let in enough to be able to hear conversation going on around me. i will be buying another as I want to try and make the ear plugs with the ear buds in them like the video shows.

I have a difficult time trying to get mine into my ears. They were very easy to form and I believe I did it correctly but maybe I made a mistake.

These customear plugs work great! The process to create them was simple and straightforward (and inexpensive). I've used them both as a drummer and an audience member and it's worked out perfectly for both.

This is a must consider item for those suffering with hyperacusis. A rear condition which disables 1 in aprox. 50K. The fact that this molds to your own ears, is soft and most importantly quiet when installing makes it a must for me. Granted molded ear plugs or any other ear plug won't solve your problem with hyperacusis, however the fact they are comfortable to wear and discreet allows me to be in places or situations I would normally avoid. I greatly appreciate this product and travel with them when ever I have to leave the home. Thanks for such a wonderful and affordable product that allows me some freedom in my life.

June 14, 2017
I purchased Radian moldable ear protection several years ago. I loss one of the ear plugs and as a result of my good experience with the plugs, I purchased a replacement kit. The silicon quality appears better with the new plugs vs the old. I use only the plugs for trap shooting and they work well. I use the plugs and muffs for rifle or indoor shooting.

Excellent product, I have made a few pairs of these. I ride motorcycles and I find these the most effective and comfortable option for all day riding. Easy to follow instructions, consistent results. Very good value for money.

March 31, 2017
Love this product! Bought my first pair in 2010, used mostly for motorcycle riding. If you don't wear plugs while riding, you should. Cuts the wind noise significantly, and still allows you to hear sirens, horns, train bells, etc. The 2010 pair was getting a little scuzzy, so I ordered up some new ones. I thought the product quantity looked a bit smaller, but they filled my ear and made the right size plug. I use my Radians for riding, shooting, concerts (I'm old), et.al. I highly recommend them!!

I developed a allergy to the foam plugs that I was using at work and tried silicone, but they would get too dirty. I finally found these by searching online and decided to try. They work great, and are easy to make! Thanks for a great product.

February 3, 2017
I'm the Safety Coordinator at a steel plant. I have been looking for custom molded hearing protection for my employees but due to the cost to have it done professionally we were unable to do it. Then I was referred to the Radians product. I bought two sets from Gander Mtn near me. One for me to see if they were practical and the other set for my production supervisor. Both of us swear by them. They are easy to make if you follow the directions and work great. The 26NRR is the same as the reusable hearing protection that we were using. I am hoping to be able to expand the trial and get a set for the rest of the guys on my production floor. If they like them then we will never have to use foam or other cheap reusable hearing protection again in the shop. Great product. Tons of applications. Works as intended. Would definitely recommend to others.

November 16, 2016
I purchased these for my son. He competes in precision air rifle at a local high school. The results were amazing. The only down fall is that with the ear plugs in, he has a hard time hearing range commands and coach's voice. My son does not like anything in his ears. I thought this would cause a problem when we molded the ear plugs in his ears. This was no big deal. We followed directions and the end results were very satisfying. The "26NRR" rating is correct. I would recommend purchasing this product.

November 3, 2016
I had high hopes that these would be comfortable for side sleeping. I followed the instructions for molding them, and they're OK if I'm not lying on my side. (Although, even then, they're a little uncomfortable.) Even though these set up to a rather soft material, my ears hurt terribly during the night when they're in. They feel more like rocks in my ears than soft silicone. =/ I trimmed them (the outside), thinking maybe they were too wide, and if they were narrower, maybe my pillow wouldn't push them into my bottom ear so badly. I didn't really notice any change, except that they'll fall out now. But still painful while they're in.
