I ordered this sampler of reusable ear plugs

I prefer the ones that do not have cords but I found several that I liked better than others

I love the surefire sonic defenders.  When you pick the style/size correctly they are very comfortable and I like I can adjust how I can pull flange and adjust accordingly.

Another option.  These work well when inserted correctly.

Thank you for all the great suggestions. Any one using this kind?

I didn't like those for riding; they still let in the wind noise and road noise.  I like the regular foam ear plugs for riding if I'm not listening to stereo.

I use Surefire EP4. The EP3 and EP4 have a similar design to the xp3. I have tried many different types and the EP4 is my preference. Good protection without blocking all sound- and has option to allow in more ambient noise- with decent comfort.

It's the wind notice that will damage your hearing. Not traffic notice.

That was my 2nd choice. I may order them anyways and compare the 2 of them

I had a set of the molded ear plugs made, and I like the cheap foam ones better.  I found that over time the shape of your ear changes, making the molded plugs not fit the same as when I first got them.

I have molded earplugs and foam ones. They work great, somehow to good. My foam ones are rated at 33d but I've got to have the stereo sound level all the way up. (Thinking it might blow out the headset speakers) I'd like to find some that may let a little more sound though but still quiet the wind noise.
Found these, has anyone tried them or have suggestions?

I wear musicians earplugs molded for me with a replaceable 15db filter. Works great and does allow you t actually hear all tones (high and low) when you play music in your headset or speakers.

If I recall correctly they did run me $250 or so

Those ear plugs look the ones the army issued me in basic training 35 years ago. I would think they would be a couple of bucks.

If I'm wearing ear plugs so my ears aren't ringing terribly at the end of a longer day in the saddle, so I can sleep better that night and so I can hear the next day those are my goals really.  Music is rather a secondary consideration.  Bulk packs of the inexpensive but surprisingly effective foam plugs do just fine (and cost little more than nothing per set).

I wear the Howard Leight Max Lite http://www.howardleight.com/earplugs/max-lite.  They have a NRR of 30 which is decent but not too crazy.  I don't listen to music but have speakers in my helmet.  I will have to see if I can hear with the plugs in at some point.

Same here.  Check with a local audiologist who does hearing aids.  They can most likely get you custom molded musician earplugs.  Mine were under $150 and work great.  Can't ride without them.
