# ear plug recommendations?

Can anyone recommend me ear plugs that block out sound relatively well while feeling comfortable in your ears? (though now that I think of it, I'll need to hear my alarm clock!). the normal cheap ones tend to just fall out or otherwise make me feel as though I'm trying to fit a baseball into them (so obviously, I'm not a fan of earbud headphones!).
Thanks!

The only brand of ear plugs I've ever heard of are called Earplanes. They're designed for people who have problems with their ears while flying, but I don't know how much they block out, as I've never tried them.

I'd recommend earbuds that have a piece that kind of wraps around the ear to hold the earbud in place. That way, you won't have to worry about them falling out. And you can buy pads or covers for earbuds so that they don't bother your ears so much.

I go to about 4-5 concerts a week in clubs on average and swear by these:

Nice snug comfortable fit and they're inexpensive and last long. I've had my pair for almost two years.
