Permanent or hard custom ear plugs?

[The End]

The best foam disposables I have had I got from the Redbull driftshifters event last year.

I have no idea what brand or model they are, but they are yellow with a triangle on the bottom.

Compared to other foam disposables I have used from Mitre 10, the local pharmacy etc. these yellow 'Redbull' ones are MUCH better.

I probably should get some new ones soon...they're starting to look a bit..well you know...

Nah, definitely on Kapiti Coast (Waikanae), although I got my fitting done in central Wellington and the plugs were posted to me about 6 days later.

Agree that fitted earplugs are worth every cent. My bike has a set of Akrapovics which rattle my helmet and leave my ears buzzing after a long ride ... unless I have my moulded plugs in. They are much more comfortable in too, and don't pop out half the time when you put your helmet on like the foam ones.

Oh, maybe that was who I got mine from then.

Add a +1 to them too just in case...

I used plugz4lugz for quite a while - until one of them broke. As a temporary measure I bought some E.A.R.soft FX compressible foam plugs. Never been back to the moulded ones.

Even though the P4L jobs had greater over all attenuation, I found the soft ones better at removing wind noise and better at letting me hear things like traffic noise, the RD speaker or the phone speaker. I don't feel as though I am compromised by the loss of the frequencies I don't need to hear.

I hate to ride without some kind of hearing protection.

I used KiwiPlugs, they work really well for me. Cant comment on other custom manufacturers but the Kiwiplugs are exponentially better than the disposables for me. Everyone is different I guess.

dont forget that moulded plugs can include for earphones

Does anyone know where I can get custom-made in-ear monitors moulded to fit my ears? I want to be able to use my intercom and ear plugs don't quite work so well in this situation.

I've been using audio plugs from Kiwiplugs in Waikanae for about 5 1/2 years. I've never tried Plugz for Lugz so can't comment or compare, but I'm on my 2nd set and they've been great. I recently bought a Sena S20 and have the speakers in the helmet to listen to the FM radio around town but plug the audio plugs in on rides and find that much better. There's way less distortion as the speed gets up to highway speeds.

I carry vaseline in the 1st aid kit and use that to smear on the plugs before starting out and that makes it easy for them to seat properly and probably helps give a better seal.
