I've only ever seen these at bike shows - where else can you get them, does anyone know?

Try www.ultimateear.com but they aren't cheap! About £60 for a basic pair upto £150 with music.

I've picked them up at a show for £45 for the standard ones, excellent investment

The only thing you might find is that they can be a little hit and miss with the quality, my mates ones are good. But mine and Jax's are cack, sometimes I think it even make the noise level worse.

Apparently the difficult part with these type of plugs is getting them to the same shape as they would be in when your head is in your helmet and then when you are moving at speed (this will move the helmet, thus moving the skin on your head as well as your ears).
I've never bothered because of the risk that they may not be as good, or significantly better than normal earplugs.

very much so.. I wasted 120 quid on mine and Jax's. Won't be doing that again.
