Hi All

New noisy bike on the way and I'm looking at some noise cancelling kit,

I've got some re-usable Oxford ear plugs but don't get on with them, caused my ears to get sore.

So looking at something helmet related or comfy ear plugs,

Does anyone have any experience

HELP

Ive tried the foam ones, don't like them. Tried earpiece I think they are called. Didn't get on with them.

Got some moulded ones with work. Took a bit of getting used to but love them now.

I will be buying my own soon. Worth the cost.

First step for me was buying the variety packs of ear plugs sold on eBay / Amazon

I tried about 15 different pairs before I found the ones that suited me

There must be about a hundred different shaped foam ear plugs, then you have all the silicone ones (which I hated)

I've been using moulded ear plugs for about 18 years and wouldn't now use anything else. I do have quite narrow ear canals so foam plugs never worked properly for me. While moulded are a fair outlay I've found a set easily lasts 5 years or more, if looked after and cleaned properly, so in fact they don't work out too expensive especially when you take into consideration they can save your hearing.

Plugfones. Much better than foam ones and you can still hear your sat nav via Bluetooth

I tried foam but couldn’t get them in well enough to be effective.
I’m now using Alpine silicone ones which work but are painful after about 1hour.

I have an appointment for moulded ones next week which I hope will be the best option.
