AlpineAlpine WaterSafe Pro - Ear Plugs for Swimming and Surfing – for Adults - Waterproof - Comfortable - Secure Fit - for Water Sports - Reusable - Sizes M & L - 1 Pair

I was looking for something like this for years. Need earplugs to swim, and always hated the fact that I could not hear well. Constantly pulling plugs in and out of my ears just to enjoy places like the pool. While not 100% perfect, I can definitely hear what is going on around me without the constant need to pull out and put plugs back in.

This product is a game changer!I have tried a couple of different ear plugs, even expensive molded ones by Eartune) that claim to let the sound in while keeping the water out, but none of them lived up to the hype like these. And, they are constructed well at a competitive price. The magnetic feature was an unexpected bonus. Having them cling to each other makes it less likely to lose them. I also like the fact that you have the option of medium and large ear tips that pop on or off easily. Don’t blame me if you take my advice and lose one, but I found that wearing them without the leash attached works well, even when duck diving or, unfortunately, wiping out. And, to the young swimmers and surfers out there, if you are in the water a lot, WEAR EARPLUGS. At 48, I have pretty bad tinnitus due to surfer’s ear (exostosis), which I didn’t even know was a thing until I was diagnosed by an ENT two years ago. Granted, I have spent a LOT of time in the water (as much as possible every summer of my life, as a lifeguard and competitive swimmer during high school and college, and off and on as a surfer and lap swimmer in my adult years). I’ll still probably wear the Eartunes when I’m lap swimming because the seal is perfect and the quiet is nice, but all other times, it’ll be Alpine all the way!

I like that it keeps out the water but unfortunately it blocks out sound as well. So while I am in the pool and i have the music playing, I feel that I am disturbing the neighbors because the music has to be louder than normal. I've tried numerous pairs of earplugs all claiming that they allow sound but still am unsuccessful in finding them.

Broke before I got in the water

My idiot self thought these were earbuds and they definitely are not *facepalm*. They are however super cute and understated, not bulky. They seem like they would stay in fairly well, but I can't confirm since I didn't actually swim. If I wasn't still in the market for a real pair of swimming earbuds I would probably keep them, they are such a nice color/shape. Can't currently blow $40 on earplugs by accident atm though

Fit well, but can't hear well out of them.

Excelentes, funcionan al 100%

I have the same problem as others have written. Really nice expensive product. The best plugs I have ever used for lap swimming. I lost one of the earbuds and there is no way to replace them. I contacted Alpine but they nicely said "we can't help you, contact Amazon." I suggest you choose another set of plugs to purchase. Too bad.
