I tried a couple of each kind of the foam variety before finally settling in on the Howard Leight Max Lite. I then bought a box of 200 pair for $20. These plugs, aside from color and price, are virtually identical to Hearos.
You can actually buy a ear plug "sampler" from Norton/AO.
As for the " These plugs, aside from color and price, are virtually identical to Hearos", actually, they're not. If you read the fine print, they all have different levels of attenuation (reduction of noise level) IIRC, the Hearos are ~ 22 db, the Max lites are 22-24 db and, like I posted, the "Leight Sleepers" are the max at 30db, that's why H-L earplugs are color coded.
