Do a search on eBay (http://search.ebay.co.uk/earplugs_W0QQsojsZ1QQfromZR40), there's always loads of good value choice.

Those are top prices! Way cheaper than bike shops - cheers!

Has anyone found any plugs that just reduce the noise just a little bit?

I do most of my miles on the A2 and plugs (max lites, I think) are great then, but riding around London and not being able to hear the various horns, tyres screeching, screams of fleeing pedestrians, etc. is too unsettling. Could do with something that reduces overall noise (high revs and wind noise) but still lets you hear a lot of the outside world.

As Cronos said have a look at e bay. You can buy packs of different ear plugs to try. You can get 30 pairs (4 different types) for £3.19. I did this and found the ideal pair for me. I now buy big pack of thoes.

I tried a few pairs but have yet to find any better than the Laser Lite ones that big ape has a link to on his post above

Cheap, comfy and also block out alot of noise

Mine are little E.A.R ones - 'Free' from any member of her majesties armed forces 8) :wink:

They come in big boxes of 500, wear 'em & throw 'em away :D

I personally think those type are horrible. They are far too stiff and painful.

They are far too stiff and painful.

Er....I'll resist the obvious, but I know exactly what you mean :wink: Used to use them at Aerospace and they annoyed my ears like hell!! I use Max lites miles more comfortable.

It all depends on the size of your ear canal which pair fits you best.

Best bet is to get a mutli pack and just try them all out until you find the pair that fit your ear the best.

You can have the highest rated plugs but if they keep falling out they aren't any good.

Once you have found the ideal pair, get a box of 200 or so, replace them after a few rides and that box will last for ages.

[Grinch]

Be carefull with custom ones as I had some moled that they are rubbish compaired to just normal foam plugs, seem to fall out all the time and just don't hold back the noise. All depends on your ears, Jax has some to but hers hurt her right ear alot so she doesn't like wearing them.

OMG got some plugs yesterday before i went down to guilford. So quiet on the motorway. Few problems though, can hear my own exhaust any more only my engine. When i took them out when i got back in london, the noise of my exhaust was deafning, even louder than before. Overall i was realy happy with them and felt much more relaxed when i got to my destination.

PS. they were the Moldex Spark-Plugs

..........EARS classic, I work in noisy enviroments a lot and the customers who splash the cash a bit and do things right invariably supply EARS plugs. I wear custom ones though to be honest and they are ace.

Just noticed Bigape and co giving the EAR plugs a slating , one mans meat etc. Maybe they are not the universal choice.
