BOLLSEN Airplane Ear Plugs earned top marks in our evaluation of the best earplugs for flying, providing effective protection against cabin noise and pressure changes during air travel.

Our Review of BOLLSEN’s Airplane Ear Plugs

Over a ten-week testing period, BOLLSEN’s earplugs consistently impressed our testers. 90% of participants reported excellent noise reduction without any discomfort, even after extended use. These earplugs not only suppressed disruptive aircraft sounds but still allowed for essential sounds—such as announcements or conversations—to be heard clearly during takeoff and turbulence.

Pressure Relief and In-Flight Comfort

These earplugs were particularly effective in equalizing pressure and reducing discomfort on short and medium-haul flights. Testers noted up to a 90% reduction in pressure-related pain. For long-haul journeys, we recommend inserting the earplugs approximately 45 minutes before landing to maximize their effectiveness.

Versatility Beyond Flying

While 75% of test participants used the earplugs for flights within Europe (e.g., London to Belfast), others also found them helpful during long-distance travel (e.g., London to Sydney), while swimming, or even doing yard work. For sleep-related use and jet lag recovery, we recommend checking out the BOLLSEN Sleep Earplugs.

Personal Fit with AR KI TECH

One of the standout features of BOLLSEN earplugs is the AR KI TECH personalization technology, which finds the best fit for each user. At just $12, this tailored service provides a precision fit that enhances comfort and noise-blocking performance, offering a superior alternative to standard earplugs.

Eco-Friendly and Ethically sourced

The brand claims its products are environmentally friendly, backed by certifications showing ethical sourcing and fair wages. We reached out to the company for a statement regarding where the products are made and they confirmed that the items are assembled in Allentown, Pennsylvania, USA with parts made in the EU—giving us strong confidence in their eco-conscious and ethical practices.

Using the Ear Plugs

For optimal use, gently insert the earplugs with your index finger, rotating them into the ear canal for a snug and discreet fit. The almost invisible design has been well-received by our testers, who reported a significant improvement in their sleep quality, thanks to the earplugs’ secure fit and comfort.
