Bluetooth headsets?

Do Plugz for Lugz still exist or any recommendations for custom plug makers in the Auckland or Hamilton areas? That's the downside of living in Coromandel

Sue from Plugz or Lugz used to visit this site regular but not sure if they are still around. I'm due for a replacement set so hopefully they will be at the Boxing Day races this year if I don't get to replace them before then.

Thanks guys! I made some a few years ago from 2 pot silicone and they worked fairly well but some professional ones would be good. I've seen the service advertised on audiologist websites and they charge like wounded bulls!

I found that my new set (a few years old now) from http://kiwiplugs.co.nz/ a lot better than my old set from Plugs for Lugz. Softer, better sealing materail - although Plugs for Lugs may have changed their material by now.

You should probably check the site. Says

Welcome to Kiwiplugs New Zealand

Sorry for any inconvenience ,we are closed for business for the foreseeable future.

I know Plugz 4 Lugz did change their compound a while back, not sure if it's a constantly evolving thing or what.

Hmmm, he's coming to work soon to make up some for our operators...

These might be worth a mention.....:

Thanks Tazz . It looks pretty similar to the kit I bought a few years ago which worked tolerably well. They looked a bit lumpy on the outside because I couldn't see too well when doing it but simply thinned them down with a kraft knife later on. I paid around $50, so the price is good.

In your experience, do you think it would be possible to mould some ear buds (just the wee drivers) into them while you're at it?

Not with my level of incompetence . Should be possible if someone helps.

These might be worth a mention.....:

Bought some of these Friday night.
Arrived Tuesday morning.
Made them up last night.
Tried them on way to work today.

Impressions after one ride.
* I was not ruthless enough removing the excess on the first one. Application of a razor may be required to lower the profile.
* significantly more noise reduction when stationary than any ear plug I have ever used before.
* this left me concerned I may not be able to hear my BT unit.
* Broadly across the spectrum, so not the underwater sound you normally get with the EVA type.
* a little awkward under the helmet. Refer point 1.
* moving the difference is massive. No cavitation in my ears. Which was the main reason for buying them, figuring the buy price is lower than constant rear infections from the air flow or hearing aids from the wind tunnel effect.
* my BT is now clear right up to 100 km.

Where I used to only be able to hear well enough to know I had to slow to 80 or 90 to hear the inbound caller clearly. Previously I had to leave it too quiet to hear at speed if I didn't want to hurt my ears when going slow. Now it sounds like the same volume and clarity all the way up the speed range. Albeit at a higher volume to start with.

Does anyone know of any events at Manfeild, or similar event, where Plugz4Lugz could setup.
