I was originally going to try the No Noise earplugs that have been mentioned previously in the thread in the ear plugs guide link Emptysea posted. The No Noise are $30, plus tax if applicable, and shipping. They come with 1 filter, one set of plugs, and an aluminum storage cylinder. Many of the reviews I read said that the center stub to grab to remove the plugs was too short to get hold of to pull them out. In those instances a significant other had to use tweezers to grab the stud to pull them out. Of lesser importance, many reviews said that the storage cylinder was not well made and fell apart.
Memphismike posted about Ear Peace plugs, and I had never heard of them before. They are a flat $20 shipped. What you get is 1 aluminum storage cylinder, 3 plugs, and 3 sets of filters, 3 filters to a set. The filters are color coded, and are different ranges of noise reduction. They are CE rated, and the manufacturer says if you dont like them, send them back for full refund no questions asked. I bought a set. The bodies of the plugs are hypo allergenic very soft flexible silicone. The removal tabs are similar to tabs used on hearing aids, easy to grab, and do not bind against the inside of my helmet. In comparing the specs between the No Noise ( comes with only one filter ) and the max noise reduction filter included with Ear Peace, the Ear Peace had slightly more noise reduction. The storage cylinder is well made. The top screws of to store two plugs inside. The bottom also screws off to store the spare plug. https://www.earpeace.com/
After using foam disposable, and solid plugs of various kinds over the years, I found the Ear Peace to be what was comfortable and right for me. No matter what the specs say, or the magazine writers say, it is always going to come down to what each person is comfortable wearing.
