But now there are much better ear plugs with tapers and the now re-usable pure push in plugs.

I never used to wear earplugs until a buddy of mine starting riding his ZX9 with a D&D exhaust on it next to me on regular trips. Suddenly, it became a smart idea.

I have never once used earplugs when riding and have never thought about it until now. Damn. Now I think I should.

I have never been able to wear earbud headphones while riding since they fall out while I am putting my helmet on., so it's not worth it.

Foam earplugs are totally different. Compress those bitches down, stick them in your ear, and hold them while the foam expands. They're staying tight. It's a little weird at first because everything is super muted, but you can hear the things that matter without the drone of wind noise.

Yeah, I'll have to give that a try. It's never really bothered me. Maybe I am mostly deaf already. :lol:

Being the safety guy at work, I purchased these the last time. They are great!

I had picked up 50pk of 32 db 2 years ago for $10 on sale.
Can't remember where I got them from and I'm reusing some nasty plugs at this point.

Walgreens. That's where I got mine for the same price.

I just use the old school E-A-R foam plugs. I have gigantic ear canals and they're the only ones that will seal them up tight. I have some reusable rubber plugs, but they start to hurt after prolonged use.

er....
