Default Custom Earplugs

I'm interesting in trying some custom moulded earplugs.

How are they for all-day comfort?
Can they flex with your ear?

Yeah, but where your piercings are situated are hardly likely to affect your earplugs Chris, unless you have found some novel places to wear them!

I have two in each tragus 9 overall in my left ear and 4 so far in right Actually swapped to a flippy front helmet late last year as getting a full face on was becoming a challenge

https://ultimateear.com/ but I wouldn't go there again, I bought mine with speakers but within 1yr they were just normal earplugs. Would go to customfitguards in future, same product slightly cheaper.

Thanks!

Did they do the ear impressions for you? I might need to go to Specsavers or something to get impressions made

I got the basic "Squishy" custom plugs from impressions made at the Ultimate Ears stand at The Show in November. They arrived just before Christmas and feel really comfy, but I've not had chance to try them yet...

I had some from CFG - at the time (late 2021) they visited the home to take impressions. I don't know if that was due to Covid or normal, but it was very straight forward.

If you are going to get some, check out the youtube channels they support (e.g. UsernameKate) as they usually have codes for 10% off.

Will do thanks.

I had a look at their home visit dates but there wasn't any in Scotland.
