Flare Audio, a UK company founded in 2010, built its reputation on rethinking how sound is delivered and perceived. Originally focused on hi‑fi speakers, it later expanded into hearing protection and everyday listening products.
The Sleeep range of earplugs is one of its most practical innovations, designed to help people rest better in noisy environments.
The Sleeep Pro Titanium Edition is the premium model in the line. At first glance, they look like tiny barbells: a slim titanium stem with spherical memory foam tips at each end. The titanium core is not just aesthetic, it makes the earplugs exceptionally durable, while the replaceable foam tips mould gently to the ear canal. They sit flush in the ear, so even side sleepers find them comfortable.
What sets them apart is how they work. Unlike disposable foam plugs, which lose shape quickly, the Sleeep Pro uses dense memory foam tips that expand slowly to create a secure seal. The titanium stem stabilises the fit, ensuring consistent noise reduction of up to –32dB. That’s enough to block snoring, traffic, or the drone of an aircraft cabin. They don’t need to be squashed before insertion, and they last far longer than pharmacy‑style plugs.
For business travellers, these earplugs are more than a luxury. They make it possible to rest on long‑haul flights, block street noise in hotels, and create quiet moments in busy environments. Better sleep and reduced fatigue translate directly into sharper performance at meetings and conferences. Their portability is another plus: each pair comes with a small carry case and spare tips, making them easy to slip into a laptop bag or carry‑on.
They deliver exactly what they promise – discreet comfort, reliable noise reduction, and durability that justifies the investment. They are not just a clever piece of engineering, but a genuine travel essential.
