$12 for a bucket of 100 foam earplugs, I don't go 1 mile without them. For full day and spirited rides, I have custom, formed ones I had made at the NY bike show a few years ago. Superb. You don't need an $800 helmet, but my sense is that (admittedly stereotyping) many who balk at that are the ones who wouldn't blink at an $800 groovy cafe jacket.
The Schuberth is an eerily quiet helmet, but there are a number of lids that are less expensive and perform well.
