From one of the worst products to a very good one in a short time span…,
Please read the whole review Radians redeemed themselves and it will make you think twice about buying these online
Well if these were marketed as ultra-tacky non-setting ear plugs that were permanent then man these would be great.
I had to get a friend that is a doctor to come over and carefully remove the ear plug that has cemented itself into my ear canal. It wasn’t placed overly far into my ear canal either, I had used another brand before this many times, but couldn’t find it anywhere so I decided to go with these since I needed some new ear pro for shooting, doing loud odd jobs, or for using as custom fit ear bud with in ear head phones.
I am really glad I didn’t clean my ears to do this, the cleaner the surface of my skin was the more it stuck.
It’s all over my sink, and I’ve been scouring it with steel wool…
I’ve never been this dissatisfied with a product in my life.
Well I emailed Radians and they had me look into the product date codes, I was sold product that had expired over a year prior to my purchase, Radians has been trying to tell retailers that the product does go bad. Also Radians improved the life and formula a lot. They sent me 3, that’s THREE, sets to try out. I got one and didn’t let it touch my ears, just played with it, worked flawlessly, audiologist quality. So I’m very pleased with the results.
That being said I would make sure you are getting “fresh” product, which is hard to do online, not saying that it can’t be done, but make sure you buy from Amazon and not a third party vendor.
Radians customer service is amazing, I got such prompt response and their absolute concern for my health and safety was nice to see.

|Did Not Set Up – Buyer Beware!,
Customer Video Review Length:: 0:59 Mins
I followed the directions exactly as they were stated but the plugs just would not set up. I even laid down for about 30 minuted and the goo was starting to run out of my ears. I had a little left over so I tried mixing unequal portions thinking one was the hardening agent. I did 40% white and 60% colored as well as 40% colored with 60% white. All 3 mixes never set up even after letting them sit overnight and trying gently warming them for about 30 minuts at 150º in the oven.
It seems like their quality control is just crap, don’t risk it. On a good note Amazon refunded my money and didn’t even require that I send them back. Bravo Amazon!

|Perfect. Great product.,
I almost never leave reviews but based on the bad reviews I wanted to share my experience. The people who could not get this product to cure said that it was goopy, runny, etc. At no point was this product goopy or runny so I can only assume that they did indeed get a bad batch of this product. The consistency was like wet silly puddy.
I washed my ears with baby wipes and washed my hands as well. I only used about one quarter of each side. I could see using up to a third for a more complete fill. After mixing up the two sides I rolled it into a ball and put it in my ear. I pushed the ball into my ear canal and spread the rest into my outer ear. I did all this with my mouth slightly open. I kept my mouth like this for 10 minutes at which point the material was solid enough to be pulled out.
I’m extremely happy with this product and it’s a shame that not everyone had the same experience.
