Alpine Motosafe ear plugs - franov_imp - 06-08-2021
so, I was extremely fed up with the wind noise of my helmet, an AGV X3000 (great looking helmet, but not that silent; more of a style stunt than a performance oriented product) so i went on Amazon and found those Alpine Motosafe ear plugs: reusable for a virtually infinite amount of times, washable and comfortable, and only 14 euros! I instantly pulled the trigger.
oh my, why didn't i buy those before.. the way they dampen the wind noise is mind blowing, they also damp some of the engine noise level but without the wind you can even clearly hear the air intake and a liiiittle bit of clutch and valves noise.
The traffic, horns and voices are still clearly audible too, even if obviously slightly less.
I bought the "Race" model which provides more dampening, but there's also a "touring" model with slightly less dampening capability, for those who already have for example a more isolating helmet or maybe a windshield.
can't imagine how those feels on a touring machine with a good helmet.. I'm quite sure it would be even more silent than driving in a car.
I can say i 100% recommend to buy you a pair !

They sure dont look comfortable! Are they?

trust me, you don't even feel them on! don't know if anyone here has Apple's AirPods Pro, they have quite the same feeling, but lighter.

Modern silicone ear plugs like these are pretty good in terms of comfort. They are common now and not like those [harder] silicone versions of about 10 years ago.

One should also be able to find equivalent models (not referring to foam, nor solid silicone) at some local pharmacies for under $10.
