A mate showed me some he had custom made at an audiologist...said they were good but cost him $150.
Are there cheaper but still effective options.
After today’s ride of about 70mins I am contemplating using some.
Any comments or opinions welcome.

$150 is dirt cheap compared to the cost of repairing damaged hearing - cochlear implants are currently $50,000 per side. If you are lucky (like I was) one will be paid for by Govt funding but if you want to hear in stereo the second will be on you.
it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.
those cheap ass bitches can do anything with ductape.

I use the foam ones you can buy from any hardware shop, keeps the wind noise to an absolute minimum. As I only use them on the open road I'm not too worried about how they mask most noise (car horns, traffic etc) but for that reason I can see (hear?) the benefit of a decent set.
Yes
The wind noise at 100kph is sufficient to give you permanent sustained hearing loss. You also won't really notice until its way too late, and you can't get it back.

Was a few years back now and I'm on my second set, so I guess $150 could be called inflation. At least they do last a while.

Custom plugs @ $85 per pair from Plugz 4 Ĺugz in Rotorua if you're ever up that way. Takes about 40 minutes from woah to go.
Hell yeah, been using plugs for probably 35 of my 56 years riding!
Worksafety shops ,about $4 !! The latest triple pack from them are the best yet.
You'd never go hungry with Nigella Gaz.
If it weren't for flashbacks...I'd have no memory at all..
I had custom made ones. Reverted back to foam ones when I lost one, when I finally found it I didn't bother going back. Foam ones are cheap and easier to deal with and seem as effective. Even use on my dirtbike.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.

Fairly good and reasonable price.

I got some ISOTunes noise cancelling headphones. But strangely enough I get nausea if I stick anything into my ear on the bike. So I hardly ever use them except for mowing the lawns.
