I'm trying to decide between air buds or one of the recommended ear buds in the thread, so this has been really helpful
The home remedy example may have solved my problem with sleeping at home (I'm a very light sleeper) My girlfriend (soon to be wife) does snore like a freight train, and the foam earplugs don't cut it.
Thanks!
If your ears are used to them, in ear monitors are much better than regular ear buds for isolation. They're also safer for your ears as you don't need to crank the volume as high to be able to hear the recording.
Etymotics are probably the best for isolation outside of custom in ear monitors. They do go pretty deep into your ear. It'll take a while to get used to (you might have to wear them for short periods at first, then start wearing them for longer), but with a good seal, it cuts out a whole lot of noise.
