Best Earplugs?

[emptysea]

I hate to sound like a cracked record—I guess that should be a corrupt mp3 in today's parlance—but, if you don't wear hearing protection, you'll damage your hearing very, very quickly. See this piece, https://www.hear-it.org/motorcycles-haza...0116%20dB

Like offroad, I use Bose QC20i bluetooth headphones are my choice. They provide great hearing protection as well as allowing me to listen to a GPS when needed and even listen to a tune or two without having to turn it up so loud I risk further hearing damage.

Bose is a good brand. Could you please let me know ...
- how comfortable is wearing them after 2-3hours ?
- in any outside temps ?
- can they be used stand-alone, without music player or other connected ?
- and (yes, I am serious) do they work in a long tunnel with trucks (opposing traffic) ?
- would you know (that's hard) if they work well with small and large ears ?

Thanks !!!
For whatever it may be worth ...
A local newspaper has tested plugs for motorcycles, and came up with only 3 very good products among 10 to 12. The following has had the best performance/price ratio, and is available in the US too.

Don't get confused by the product name. It's not a mistake.

Rode from Chicago to Pittsburgh (600 miles/13 hours) and from Willamsport, PA to Chicago (700 miles/14 hours) with the wired (QC20) Bose earbuds. My Cardo PackTalk battery died before the earbuds and I had no discomfort at all. Cormanus’ post is more detailed, but I wanted to chime in with my opinion that they work great and stay charged on very long rides.
