Just bought some of these and I didn't bother gumming them round some headphones but instead made two pairs of custom fit ear plugs and they are excellent and a cheaper alternative to the £60 or so you'll pay for custom fit ones at the bike shows.

As I bought the twin pack I've actually got enough goop to make 4 pairs so may try them with some headphones too.

this was discussed ages ago about the ebay stuff which is exactly the same stuff, its silicone moulding clay.

Like the stuff you seal the bath with? I'm not sure I want to squirt that in my ears!

No not quite, its a 2 part mix, which sets to the consistency of the stuff you use on your bath.

Bib's rights, the stuff on Ebay is thev same stuff & cheaper. This stuff is really expensive.

You'll find the orange mix at your local motorbike shop.

Custom easr moulds use the inards of the earphone & the better ones use better quality ones. Means they're much smaller than moulding this stuff round a normal set of earphones.

With my crash helmet, I can't wear it for more than half an hour with my Senheisers, so there's no point in me moulding this stuff round them for a custom fit, I would like some custom moulded monitors.
