For Focus, Study & Work
How can earplugs help me focus?
By reducing distracting background noise from open offices, cafes, or libraries, our earplugs help you create a quiet mental space. This allows you to achieve a "deep work" state and improve concentration and productivity.
Will I still be able to hear my colleagues?
Our earplugs are designed to reduce ambient noise without completely blocking out all sound. You'll still be able to hear and participate in conversations, but at a more comfortable volume that minimizes distraction.

Absolutely. They are excellent for travel. Murmur Earplugs can significantly reduce the loud, persistent engine noise and cabin chatter, helping you relax, sleep, or simply enjoy a quieter journey.
Do they help with ear pressure on flights?
While Murmur Earplugs reduce noise, they are not specifically designed to regulate ear pressure. However, by reducing noise-related stress, they can make the flight experience more comfortable overall.

For Concerts & Festivals
Will these earplugs muffle the sound at concerts?
