as one that uses hearing protection for all things noisy, I have a myriad of different types
Foam and flange of different varieties to muffs electronic and non
The plugs I liked best for shooting and drumming (silicone flange type) I didn't like for riding
Surefire EP-7 has been my go to for riding for years ..until this week
I wanted some disposable foam plugs to toss in the bikes bags.
I've been disappointed with most foam plugs, so I've trying different ones
Think I'll try them to, like the looks of those little stems
that's what make the difference for me with foam plugs
Give 'em a little roll squish and stem helps insert them
Most all the foam plugs come loose on a ride in "my" ear
Not so with these due to stem pushing them a tad deeper
the fact that they're down right cheap compared $20 buck EP-7's is icing on the cake!
those are OK but not on for riding .
Something about my right ear, most plugs don't stay sealed while on the bike

Ya those, they slip in easier than foam.. as I said I am not sure you need that great of noise reduction on a bike. Not like shooting gun or working someplace loud.

donno about all that
not just obnoxiously loud pipes and crappy music blaring some Yo-Yos indulge in
but WIND noise
Motorcycle wind noise often reaches 90115 dB at highway speeds, exceeding the 85 dB threshold for permanent hearing damage in under 15 minutes. Noise levels typically hover around 90 dB at 40 mph and can exceed 100 dB at 60+ mph, making it louder than the engine
