what ear plugs you folks using? 2 Years, 8 Months ago  
I am setting here watching video's of different types of earplugs with audio capabilty and I run across the radian custome moldable earplugs. I kinda like these and have seen several youtube videos and it seems easy enough. So what is everyone else using or recomend


heres a link to the radian on amozon.

I've done what was shown in the video with the Radians. I used the LG Bluetooth Headset to eliminate cords between my iPhone and my ears. Works great with any clothing / helmet combo.

+1

But I'm using These

Cheaper on eBay and I like that the cords retract into the headset.

Capt D - Do you wear a half helmet by chance? Looking for headphones for that block out wind well so I can hear my tunes. My current mp3 player sounds good till I get on the highway. Then I can't hear a thing and the wind seems worse than without earphones.

I have not tried them, however a member here PhatStrat recommends these Ear Fuze According to him they work great at blocking the wind noise so much so that he wears them even when not listening to music.

I like to hear the motor as much as possible, but with my solo bike and no shield, all I ever hear is wind noise(a half helmet). I just bought some of the ear plugs Lowes has in their safety equipment section, by the glasses etc.. They come with a little round plastic case. Pretty low on the cool factor scale. It works for me, and if I lose one, no biggie.

I just purchased ERASERS, they are a musicians ear plug and allow me to hear cars around me and my stereo clearly, and attenuate the loud wind noise so I don't have ringing ears.

I did a lot of reading about the earfuze and they do work as advertised, but most say the sound quality is decent at best and a lot say the sound is tinny and boarders on painful if turn up past 5 or so as all you get are the higher tones after that. Not my experience just what I read and I already have the lg tone so I ordered the radian and will make a set as soon as I can. When I get results I will post here and lets folks know my results. I am aiming for being able to use these with my shorty helmet mostly as the standard lg sets are all to big and make my ear hurt after a bit/ I will let them set up with my full helmet on though to make sure it doesn't press when its on.
