Default Earplugs?

Did a search and didn't come up with anything and no obvious places to post so I'm gonna ask this here...do any of you use earplugs when out riding/touring and if so what kind? I'd like to block out some of the wind/mechanical noise but still be able to listen to the infotainment system...thanks in advance!

I also wear them at work.

I use them. I prefer the Spark Plug 35db ear plugs. They're quieter than the 3M and EAR brand plugs.

Exactly what I use. After 30+ years without I realized about 10 years ago my hearing loss was bad. Wind noise is the worst of all for me. I wear them riding, driving my Jeep, mowing, and when using power, engine driven, or pneumatic tools.

Ear plugs or ear buds, I really like the Tone Infinium Bluetooth ear buds, connects to the Bluetooth output of my Zumo 390 and my Android. Have music and directions, and it cuts wind noise and top end noise without sacrificing safety. Still hear car tire noise in my blind spot.
I only use the bike stereo when I'm detailing it.

Yes, Heros rock and roll musician rubber earplugs. I like em cause there is a they are 27db NRR. (noise reduction rating). Blocks the wind noise that can cause hearing loss. No one with a M8 is in danger of hearing loss due to loud exhaust...
