'The balls prevent you from sticking it in too far...." You own me a new keyboard Ryan.......
I always use the laser lites. I work construction and get them for free. Can't beat free.
Having used all sorts of plugs, my only regret is that I didn't get a full custom set made earlier. There is nothing to beat silicon rubber plugs that fit your ears, both in attenuation and comfort. They can be washed and sanitised and will last for years, and you'll probably find yourself using them more than you expect, like on the train or walking along heavy traffic roads. Best investment of a hundred bucks or so that you can ever make, your future self will thank you for saving your hearing.
Oh, hi Mark
Worked around Turbine Engines 40 years and love attending Top Fuel Drag Races. Foam wins for me. All day comfort deadens Turbines and Top Fuel plus you can hear someone yelling at it - IMPORTANT.
Cut the foamies in half and you will sleep like a dream with no ear discomfort against the pillow. I've slept many a good night's when the snoring starts on the other side or in a noisy hotel.
Never use wax ear plugs!!! When I was young they melted in my ears and I was deaf for days! Had to have surgery to get it all out. 100% true story
You missed three really good ear plugs. 3M E.A.R. classics are much more comfortable than the foam ones you picked. Deci-bulls are very highly rated, custom fit, can be tuned, and double as ear buds. I have not tried them yet, but my wife loves hers. You eliminated the custom fit plugs too soon. Trim them back so that they don't go so far into your ear, and you may change your mind.
Fantastic again
Excellent review! Although you didn't cover the category of "helmet drag" when putting on your helmet.

Awesome video on an important topic. 👍🏽
Been wearing hearing protection since the 70s. Motorcycles and equipment. Love to reduce noise to a comfortable level so I can hear everything. (Notice that I am 60 and can still hear!) Many years of working 7/12s and wearing protection the whole time. Wear plugs 100% of the time on bikes too. Wind noise is way over OSHA level for hearing damage.
I use custom ear plugs (made by a professional) and while they are expensive at about $60, I swear by them. I do not find them "too quiet" and hear everything I need to hear, but they block out all of the noise I find fatiguing. Love your videos - keep up the great work!
Pro Tip: The Motoplugs can be replaced by musicians plugs. Costs less because of the different target audience, and do about the same job. I buy mine at my local guitar shop for about 20USD.
There is one more option which you missed: Custom made earplugs. They are about $50 in Eastern Europe, they are custom made for your ear canal and they can be designed for motorcycling use, meaning, they can insert an air canal that eliminate that "too quiet" problem. They are the best choice in my opinion.
I use "eargasm" for earplugs when doing live audio mixing for bands. They're the same type as the MotorSport you showed. Definitely great design for reducing sounds and staying fairly balanced, not getting rid of it. Still fairly loud. For building or riding, I use foam. Sometimes I use my Eargasms tho since they're always on my Keychain (I forget them to gigs if not)
I ride with custom molded earplugs made at a hearing device shop (same type as musicians use). It fits perfectly NRR 32 db and there is a small filter build in which allows human speak trough but wind noise is dampened. Works great for hours and hours.

One huge benefit to the custom ear plugs though, is that I can wear them for hours comfortably in different scenarios, and they can actually adjust how much noise they block depending on how you have them made. For example I got the max ear defender versions, but my wife had some middle of the road versions made that help deaden the noise of noisy eaters at the movie theater, but you can still hear the rest.
