Shark tank backed? What does that mean? It sounds like an obtuse sort of feature for headphones.

It’s like the gold standard, but with teeth.

I’ve got some of these under the Beary Quiet brand, they’re great (and cheaper than these, iirc). My gf snores like a drunk badger, but they cut the sound almost completely. Amazing things.

I had tubes in my ears, so couldn’t get water in them when swimming. Aren’t these the same thing? https://www.amazon.com/Macks-Pillow-Soft-Silicone-Earplugs/dp/B003LZQGN6
My concern is about people blocking sound while they sleep. If you can’t hear someone snoring next to you, can you hear a device beeping in the next room? Using earplugs can increase the risk of sleeping through alarms designed to wake you up in case of fire, smoke, or natural gas/carbon monoxide leaks.
