I don't use them, but my wife would have to wear them if she went without a helmet.
She said the wind popping in her ears gives her a headache.
I said a head like that outta ache, she didn't laugh.

I've been wearing them for years, initially only for longer rides , but now all the time.
It's nice to have fresh hearing when I stop. After 30+ years of loud guitars and bikes , I'm trying to preserve what's left of my hearing.
