Default Ear Plugs?

Hey all. I decided this weekend that I need a set of ear plugs for long hauls on the highway. The wind noise is a pain in th eneck (ear actually). Those that wear them, which do you use? The orange disposables or molded ones?

Ear molds are real nice, and I have a set - but I'm too afraid of losing them (again), so on the bike I use the foam ones. Bought 50 pairs on ebay for cheap and keep some on the bike and in a jacket pocket. Sure takes a lot of the fatigue out of a long ride

I've been using the throw aways for years. Wish I'd have started before my hearing started going.

I have a pair of the molded one's that are only for you. Got them at AZ bike week for 40 bucks. Do a search for moled ear plugs, had mine 3 years had 1 break and they replaced them both no charge. Mine are neon yellow in case I drop one at night. I also have the Big Ear with the Ipod plug, they put out good sound.

+1 on the Big Ears. Using for over a year. Make the long rides even better. No problems with listening to radio or CB.

I just ordered a pair from Big Ears. FWIW they have a promotion going on if you order the stereo plugs reg 349.00 they are honoring the show special right now for 300.00 and they will throw in a set of molded plugs for N/C. Total savings is about 150.00. I know this sounds pricey but my ears are starting to ring after 30+ years of riding. I should have started wearing these things many years ago.
