I'm currently using these :

SNR of 35 (is that a comparable measurement?)

Box of 200 pairs from here for £30 will last me a year or two - I use a single pair for between 1 and 3 days on average. (I'm riding every day):

I'm using these.....

Ear Soft things with an SNR39 rating - claimed to be the quietest on the market. I certainly find them to be very good - the best I've used for sure.

I actually bought mine from M&P Accessories (bag of 100 I think) when I was in their main branch in Swansea, but a quick Google showed that there are plenty of places selling them (e.g. Motrax in Uk). Amazon's price seemed rather steep - very good plugs though, quietest and most comfy I've had. I did buy a posh pair with acoustic filters in which made grand claims (thinking that if they really were a step fwd then perhaps splashing out on custom ones would be worth it for the protection) - but they were nowhere near as effective as these for me.

Current favorites for work:
http://www.howardleight.com/earplugs/max

Prefer the corded version since the earplugs are in & out dozens of times during the workday. Loop the cord through shirt collar for non-use safekeeping. This type's cord is also long enough to avoid binding, unlike many other corded versions of popular earplugs (eg. E-A-R yellow).

Long-time favorites for riding:
http://www.moldex.com/hearing-protectio ... kplugs.php

This moldex foam earplug, along with the similar Pura-Fit, work well for me with two drawbacks:
1. pressure on inner ear after 4+ hours use, if plugs inserted too deep;
2. discomfort due to large elevation changes, due to very tight seal in ear canal.

I experiment from time to time using the various earplugs available at my industrial plant customer locations.
Still looking for the perfect motorcycling earplug, but also moving to in-ear headphone use more often.

I use the Pura-fits. I have used the MAX a few times but my problem with those is the plastic cord and the size. They're a bit big for my ears and the cord transmits noise. I have to pull the cord off to use them.

I adapted those types of plugs to my Etymotics and they work fine. I think ChiTown posted a DIY on it a few years back.

I just replace them when they get too grungy, and your tolerance to the level of grunge may differ, but I usually get a year or so out of a pair of the plugs.

Hi Guys,

I have used AlpineMoto Safe ear plugs for the last 4 years> These are the only ones that have worked for me. The do not totally block out noise but filter noise levels. I can still here sirens, horns, road traffic and music in my helmet. The trick with these is to moisten them slightly and they will slide into the ear cannel and sit nicely all day. Anyway worth a a look and here a link:

Hello I was just at a bike event in Reno ,Nv, a big Harley event thousands of bikes and lots of vendors. I saw a booth custom making ear pieces, by fillling your ear with a compound and making exact fit plugs. With or with speakers in them. I was skeptical so I watched for awhile. Then I went for the plain ear plugs $55. They blocked the inner canal with tissue, then coated my inner ear with vasoline and put in a string. Then filled it with a plastic solution and I sat with the ear level for 3 minutes while it hardened. They pulled it out, no problem and I came back in an hour.
When I got them put in they filled my ear perfectly and are easy in and out. You don't even feel them, because of the perfect fit and they rotate to go in or out.
I love them and use them for loud concerts or events, riding and swimming.
You can hear horns and stuff, but you have full protection.

I don't know the website, but the company name is FIT EAR and they are out of California.
Good luck.
