AlpineMotoSafe Pro - Premium Motorcycle Ear Plugs for Wind Noise Reduction - 20dB - Motorcycle Hearing Protection - Ultra Soft Comfortable Motorcycle Hearing Protection - 2 Pair

Worked as they should. Kept put the wind but allowed me to hear my stereo, vehicles, and people talking loudly close by. Comfortable to wear and reusable. Much better than my ears ringing for days without them.

I like these earplugs a lot. I’ve always used the foam type but two issues made me try something different; 1 the foam plugs can be time consuming to insert correctly, and 2 they block everything so I can’t hear my helmet speakers.The Alpine earplugs do a pretty good job of cutting wind noise, but still allow me to hear music in the background and make a phone call if necessary. They don’t hurt my ears, are easy to insert and remove, and the center stems don’t stick out and rub against my helmet lining. I use the “tour” type and they work well for me. I did notice I can hear the helmet speakers better in my Shoei helmet than my older Bell Star. The Bell has ton of vents and is not known as a quiet helmet, so no surprise there.I was impressed with the Alpine MotoSafe plugs enough that I ordered a second pair for backup and/or passenger use. I accidentally ordered the “race” type but I haven’t tried them yet to see how different they are. My daughter wore them for several hours on a ride with me and had no complaints. She could still hear her music and talk to me via bluetooth intercom.When I originally bought these, I also ordered a pair of Earos to try at the same time. They seemed to be good quality, and I tried them for a few minutes, but the Alpines just fit and worked better for me, so I returned the Earos. Someone else might have a different experience, everyone’s ears are different.I just rode about 4 hours today with the Alpine tour earplugs, no issues. Bike= 2001 Yamaha FZ1 with stock windscreen, Helmet= Shoei RF-SRKeep in mind these do not block as much sound as properly inserted foam earplugs. For <$20 though, they are worth a try.

Try them out as soon as I got them. Haven't tried the race ones yet, but the touring ones seem to work pretty decent. Really knocked down the wind noise. They do mock the exhaust note down a little bit. As for the radio, when you're on the highway, you hear a lot of highs. Would these I hear the radio much clearer but I have to turn it up louder. All in all, I think they work pretty good. The only reason for four stars is the package look like it was previously opened.

I used to wear the squishy throw away yellow ear plugs. I found that my phone was complaining because I had to have my volume at max and I still couldn't hear the music that well. I bought these to try, after some buddies told me about them, and could not be happier. They completely block the wind, the sound of my bikes, is nice but not over-powering and now the sounds around me are much clearer, which allows me to keep my music at a much lower volume and enjoy the ride that much more. For the price, they are really a game changer for me. I might buy a second pair to keep a set in their carry case on each of my bikes.

I used these on an all-day ride last weekend. They were comfortable and very effective at dulling the road / wind / engine noise while still allowing me to hear traffic around me.

I bought these after losing my previous set of earplugs, Surefire EP4s. Wearing the Race model under a Bell Star DLX (not the race star) on a CBR600. Turns out this helmet is made for more of a touring than sport riding position according to Bell so the wind noise is a bit louder.First off these are the most comfortable earplugs I have ever worn and the first set that have stayed in place for more than an hour or hour and a half. Cheap foam plugs seem to work their way out of my ears after 30 minutes, and the EP4s would last maybe an hour and a half before they were starting to work their way out. Also the EP4s would press on my ears just enough that they were getting a bit sore by that time anyways. I wore these for a 3-1/2 hour round trip this weekend and they stayed snug in my ears the entire time, and are comfortable enough that I could pretty much forget they were there at all. So, I absolutely love the comfort on these and if I ever lose them I'll buy another pair on that fact alone.Also great is they filter just the right amount of noise for riding. Foams and even Surefires with the caps open filter a lot of noise out, great for protection but more than needed in my opinion. My helmet is quite loud at highway speeds, and these still cut out almost all of the wind noise but when I pull up to a light or just stop to talk I can still hear people well enough to talk. I couldn't really do that with the EP4s or especially foams.I haven't tried every earplug available, but these are definitely my new favorite and I don't believe I need to try anything else now. The little insertion tool is a nice addition too, makes getting them in super quick and easy.

I used these for about 6 rides per week. They are comfortable, and the noise reduction is on par or a little better than other brands I've used. However, after only 3 months, the little pull tab on one of the plugs broke, making extraction very difficult. I reached out to the company, but (as I expected) there are no replacement parts. I replaced them with a pair from another brand that lasted for over a year (until I lost them). I'd give 5 stars for noise reduction, but only 1 for durability.
