Ear plugs
« on: September 08, 2014, 09:25:53 PM »

I am looking for some ear plugs to cut down on wind and road noise but still allow to hear the stereo naturally and to still use my headset communications. I've seen a few online.... some can get real pricey

Just wondering what you all use and recommend or not

Thanks

DR, I've tried a few of the different noise cancelling type of ear phones/buds (I have a set of BOSE that I use....but not on the bike).  If you want to reduce the amount of noise (wind and road), you can get a good set of ear plugs at your office/work/Home Depot.  Ear plugs do not eliminate the noise, just reduce.  The number on the box or plug package gives you the number of db that the sound is potentially reduced if the plug is worn correctly.  So you can reduce the excess noise and still be able to talk to a passenger and listen to the radio without blowing the speakers.  Another option while you are using your headset....a bit of cotton in the ears can cut down quite a bit of excess noise and costs pennies and get you the same results.

Since you are riding a dresser, how much wind/road noise are you getting on the Ultra and/or RG?  If it's that bad, I would look at changing windshields or such to reduce the outside noise levels in addition to or instead of ear plugs...

I use custom made musicians earplugs. They where molded for me and the filters are replaceable. I currently use a 25db filter.

Worth every penny and comfortable for a long days ride with a helmet as well.

We have been using the iplugz for years.  They are molded to fit your ear so they work well with head bands and helmets that go over your ears.

Sound really good.

I also got set of plain molded ear plugs.....believe it or not....wearing these plug you and hear your stereo just fine.

I see them at bike rallies all the time.

I have small ear canals and can’t keep the less expensive foam types in my ears when riding, so ended up going to an audiologist and having a mold made for some custom earplugs. Foam types would work well to reduce wind noise if you can keep them from blowing out and you could still hear the audio system, plus they are disposable. You can buy kits on line to have some custom molded for your ears – you mail the mold back and they forward the earplugs. As Haird pointed out, some cotton under your headset may suffice when using the communication/audio system.

Haird it's not the noise from my bike but rather the road noise coming from other traffic when riding on highways mainly. I have looked on a few sites like Bose, ear inc, hearos, etc and have some ideas of my own but just wanted real feedback on what has worked for other members here

Thank you. This is another site I looked at, but not those plugs in general. Can you tell me does the audio jack actually plug in somewhere? I prefer something to just wear without plugging in

I wear the orange foam types... roll them up slide them in and I am good to go.  I hear the music better, and the wind noise is gone.  much better for riding

I find they cut down on the roar in my ears, I can still hear other cars, and my bike, but the wind roar is gone

I use to wear something similar in my Tank, saved my ears and I could still hear the radio, and the sound of the gun being loaded

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.

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.

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?

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.

I wear a cheap plastic style that are orange that go around your neck and have replaceable sponge ear plugs. I get asked at Sturgis by someone every year as to where you get them. They are an industrial type that employers provide for their employees. The nice thing is that you can wear them around your neck when you stop, so they are always with you when they are needed.

You can still hear the stereo when wearing them and talk back and forth with your passenger. I wish that I knew the manufacturer, but I don't see a name on the packaging or the product.

FWIW I wear surefire sonic defenders to ride and to shoot.  I prefer the EP3 with the pop stoppers.  I shoot USPSA almost every weekend and often ride to the matches.  These plugs are great to shoot and to ride - very comfortable and reusable.  Usually noise reduction is good enough with the pop stoppers open for most pistol shooting and allow you to hear what's going on around you well enough (including the stereo while riding).  I usually only have to close them up for rifle or open guns indoors.

...plus they're pretty cheap.

You can find them at almost any good sporting goods store and WalMart.

Long ago I rode with a pair of expensive custom molded ear plugs, they worked great. While visiting Yellowstone they were stolen out of my windshield pouch by a crow looking for food. So we stopped at the hardware store in Jackson and I bought a set of $1.99 yellow rubber/silicon ones. Those worked just as well the expensive ones. Then a member here convinced me to try those popular muscians earplugs. Speaking for myself I don't find any difference.

So I learned two things:

1. Sometimes the least expensive option works just as well.
2. NEVER keep anything of value in the windshield pockets of your bike. The animals in the national parks know we keep our road snacks in there. After years of watching humans, they have learned how to open a velcro flap and take things.

Been using Mack's Aqua ear plugs for my daily swim and now for the bike. Very quiet, comfortable and secure. About $3 at WM. Have tried just about every brand out there and these seem to work best for me.

Have used these (or similar) for many years.  They are corded and washable.  Last a long time, can be adjusted to block out nearly everything or left out a bit to hear music better. Work very well for me, have considered the expensive route, so far have passed on it.

These are usually available at Walgreens for about $3 a pair. https://www.walgreens.com/store/c/mack's-ear-seals-dual-purpose-earplugs/ID=prod1707479-product

I bought a set of Alpine's for biking.  They make many different configs.
Mine came with a carrying case and three earplugs, plus two different inserts for slightly different db levels.
I like them because they give the music more bass yet still take most of the thrumming away from the pipes!
These are the best and most comfortable I've used.

Best ear buds i have ever had
Your local hearing aid provider (audiologist) will make a pair of custom fitting ear plugs for about $40.

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.

+1 have tried a bunch of cheap (i.e. not custom made) options and all things considered these are the best for me.
