Alpine MotoSafe Race MotoGP™ - Motorcycle Ear Plugs for Wind Noise Reduction - 20dB - Ultra Soft Comfortable Motorcycle Hearing Protection - 1 Pair

I like these earplugs a lot. I’ve always used the foam type but two issues made me try something different; 1 the foam plugs can be time consuming to insert correctly, and 2 they block everything so I can’t hear my helmet speakers. The Alpine earplugs do a pretty good job of cutting wind noise, but still allow me to hear music in the background and make a phone call if necessary. They don’t hurt my ears, are easy to insert and remove, and the center stems don’t stick out and rub against my helmet lining. I use the “tour” type and they work well for me. I did notice I can hear the helmet speakers better in my Shoei helmet than my older Bell Star. The Bell has ton of vents and is not known as a quiet helmet, so no surprise there. I was impressed with the Alpine MotoSafe plugs enough that I ordered a second pair for backup and/or passenger use. I accidentally ordered the “race” type but I haven’t tried them yet to see how different they are. My daughter wore them for several hours on a ride with me and had no complaints. She could still hear her music and talk to me via bluetooth intercom. When I originally bought these, I also ordered a pair of Earos to try at the same time. They seemed to be good quality, and I tried them for a few minutes, but the Alpines just fit and worked better for me, so I returned the Earos. Someone else might have a different experience, everyone’s ears are different. I just rode about 4 hours today with the Alpine tour earplugs, no issues. Bike= 2001 Yamaha FZ1 with stock windscreen, Helmet= Shoei RF-SR Keep in mind these do not block as much sound as properly inserted foam earplugs. For <$20 though, they are worth a try.

I bought these after losing my previous set of earplugs, Surefire EP4s. Wearing the Race model under a Bell Star DLX (not the race star) on a CBR600. Turns out this helmet is made for more of a touring than sport riding position according to Bell so the wind noise is a bit louder. First off these are the most comfortable earplugs I have ever worn and the first set that have stayed in place for more than an hour or hour and a half. Cheap foam plugs seem to work their way out of my ears after 30 minutes, and the EP4s would last maybe an hour and a half before they were starting to work their way out. Also the EP4s would press on my ears just enough that they were getting a bit sore by that time anyways. I wore these for a 3-1/2 hour round trip this weekend and they stayed snug in my ears the entire time, and are comfortable enough that I could pretty much forget they were there at all. So, I absolutely love the comfort on these and if I ever lose them I'll buy another pair on that fact alone. Also great is they filter just the right amount of noise for riding. Foams and even Surefires with the caps open filter a lot of noise out, great for protection but more than needed in my opinion. My helmet is quite loud at highway speeds, and these still cut out almost all of the wind noise but when I pull up to a light or just stop to talk I can still hear people well enough to talk. I couldn't really do that with the EP4s or especially foams. I haven't tried every earplug available, but these are definitely my new favorite and I don't believe I need to try anything else now. The little insertion tool is a nice addition too, makes getting them in super quick and easy.

The 20db plugs work! I have tried the generic foam ear plugs, nonoise, and eargasm, and these Alpine plugs definitely make a noticeable reduction in wind noise on my Ducati Diavel Strada. I haven't tried the 17db units yet but I like having more silence and I'm willing to bet these would be about the same as the other ear plugs I've tried. I definitely recommend them for good hearing protection and if they need replacing these 20db units are what I'll purchase. The carrying case is pretty but quite unrealistic for motorcyclists -- it's too large and basically requires to be stored in a pocket. I actually use my nonoise cylinder to carry my Alpines as that can be easily attached to my main zipper or a pocket zipper. The ear plugs fit in it perfectly. So for being marketed for motorcyclists in a case that was clearly not designed by a motorcycle rider. I don't ride with music playing and certainly don't wish to be distracted by talking on a smart phone so I cannot comment on how effective they are with external comms. I have slightly smaller ear canals and they fit fine. No discomfort at all, even under a snug Arai helmet. If they got rid of the ear plug cleaner (just use rubbing alcohol) that doesn't even fit in the carrying case, the packaging plastic tray, and used a smaller and more practical carrying case then the cost could be dropped. Right now I think it is a bit spendy for what one gets, even accounting for two different pairs of protection. I've read the reviews on durability so we'll see how that goes. So far so good! One star deducted due to higher cost and because the carrying case totally missed the motorcycle usage mark.

Ces bouchons d'oreille Alpine Fonctionnent parfaitement, c'est un un réel soulagement et un nouveau plaisir de conduite. Cette version Motosafe est largement suffisante pour réduire significativement les bruits de roulage. Installation facile comme leur retrait Bonne route !

Gehörschutz ist bei Motorradfahrern größtenteils kein Thema, aber wer nicht darauf achtet wird früher oder später die Konsequenzen spüren. Tinnitus oder Schwerhörigkeit will keiner haben. Ist ja cool in der Gruppe zu fahren und einige nehmen da gerne mal den DB-Killer raus. Macht alles mega Spaß, aber abends klingeln und schmerzen die Ohren. Genau das war der Grund für mich mal diese Ohrenstöpsel zu testen. Mein Fazit: NIE WIEDER OHNE. Wer gerne in der Gruppe fährt oder mal auf der Autobahn Vollgas gibt sollte unbedingt an den Gehörschutz denken. Ich habe die Racing-Variante gekauft und es war die richtige Wahl. Man hört alles, aber die Schärfe der Töne ist weg. Windgeräusche sind drastisch reduziert und der Sound vom Bike wird gedämpft. Trotzdem kann man noch den schönen Klang vom Bike genießen. Auch das Sena oder Cardo Intercom kann weiter benutzt werden. Man kann sich sogar besser unterhalten oder Musik hören. Dadurch, dass alles gedämpft ist kann man das Sena voll aufdrehen und der Ton kommt lauter durch als ohne Ohrenstöpsel bei nicht voller Lautstärke. Ohne Ohrenstöpsel kann man das Sena nicht voll aufdrehen, weils zu laut im Stand ist. Der kleine Zipfel zum rausziehen stört übrigens nicht. Da der sehr weich ist biegt der sich beim Helm oder Maske anziehen einfach weg. Ich fahre nie wieder ohne diese Ohrenstöpsel. 👍👍👍

They worked so much better than I imagined. It has made my riding experience so much more enjoyable. I would highly recommend these items.
