Track, weekend ride, highway?

I have not used them, but I ride with the Etymotic ER20's which seem quite similar. I love them. They do not reduce as much as the traditional type - but they don't sound like you're underwater either. It's a much more natural feeling. I will not ride without them. It even feels wrong going 5 minutes down the street. The wind is just so loud.
Very easy to insert, though it can take a bit of getting used to putting the helmet on just right. Sometimes the hard end catches a bit and disturbs their placement so I slide my finger up the side of the helmet liner to re-position them. It's second nature now.

Nope but i like these -http://earplugsonline.com/
They stay in and are comfortable. Kinda like a play- doh putty material.
Wear them for sleeping while camping out often also.
FYI,
I was using custom made foam earplugs for years. Recently I switched over to off the shelf cheapie 32 DB NR disposables that came in a large 200 pair box.
They are far more comfortable and feel better on long rides. They keep the noise down just the same as the custom $$$$ ones.
I've tried the putty, the plug style reusables, etc. I keep coming back to the cheap disposable.

^^ same here, but using these
Amazon.com: Moldex 68 Pura-Fit Soft-Foam Earplugs, Uncorded Tapered Style, Green (Pack of 2 ): Industrial & Scientific
And don't believe everything you think.
I am using these ear plugs: SALE - E-A-R E-Z Fit Uncorded Earplugs Individual Polybags - 2 Pair/Box - $25.25 - PKSafety.com
Very soft and very comfortable. These are rated among the softest ear plugs by the earplugstore (don't remember exact link).
The only reason I am considering anything else is the disposable block all noise, I can't talk to people when they are in.

I bought the same one. They are really good they dont hurt your ears like the cheaper ones that you buy at drug stores.
You are not hearing me.I am happy with the softies, just trying to find the plugs that allow the good noise in and keep the bad noise out.
Sounds like the Etymotic ER20's might be a good option as well.
WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!You are not hearing me.

Ah, well with just the ER20's in, I can do decently well with moderate volume talking. But with the helmet on? They better be talking loud, and even then I still have to strain. I don't like to have anything more than a quick exchange with the helmet/ER20 combo on. Anything more than that and I tell them to wait a sec and remove everything.

I have the NoNoise and absolutely love them. I'd highly recommend them.
I have them and do not like them. I did not find they blocked enough noise. You could hear conversation better, along with engine, wind, road noise. Perhaps they just do not fit my ear type, but I did try multiple ways of inserting them and no difference in the sound attenuation, they just did not work for me. I still use the 200 pack cheapies from HD.
Yeah, I've been using a contractor pack from Home Depot I bought a long time ago.
Those Moldex ones look like the same style. I might go that way for the individual packaging.
In a couple years, I imagine they'll have bluetooth noise-canceling in-ear ones that'll work with comms.
Until then, the cheapy foam ones are my favorite.
I use the itchy E.A.R. earplugs
ahhh...itchy

I didn't like the No Noise either. One actually got stuck in my ear and I couldn't reach the damn bugger! Hah, had to find a store that sold tweezers and grabbed finally liberated it. I now have a giant box of the green foam ones. The block sound much better, in fact almost too much better, but I still prefer them.
I have the no noise and I love the sound blocking, but I too lose them in my ear, I carry tweezers in my tank bag!
