Alpine MotoSafe Race | Motorcycle Ear Plugs for Wind Noise Reduction

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.

i have a canam x3 with open exhaust and iv tried every kind of muffler to quiet it down and the drone was unreal .its especially loud in my helmet with ear cuffs..i put these in my ears and i was amazed. it toned my exhauset down so its comfortable and i can hear my in helmet stx steryo and comms perfectly..i cant even hear the helmet blower..its awesone.best 20 i ever spent..

So far these are the best performing earplugs I've used in all my years of daily riding, with a couple caveats. Sound performance is stellar, comfort is great, and they don't get hung up on your helmet going in or out. But, there's a few glaring issues/tradeoffs for that. Firstly, size. I never thought id say this about anything but I wish the carrying pouch was larger. It's genuinely just slightly larger than a dollar's worth of quarters stacked up. It's a matter of when, not if, these get lost. On that same note, it comes with a little tube tool to assist with inserting them. This is very much necessary, and also small enough to fit inside the ultra tiny pouch - and there are no spares. If you lose this, good luck. And finally the biggest issue - if you insert these with the tiny little removal tab at the wrong spot, they can get stuck in your ears. I already had to have a coworker pull one out with pliers once, and nearly had to do it a second time. I'm not inserting them super deep, but if that tab ends up lying flush against your ear, good luck. In summary, the performance and comfort is outstanding. Just make sure you have a way to keep track of them, and take extra care to insert them so the removal tab extends into free space, not right against your ear.

Good earplugs. Unlike some others which have a hard plastic sound baffle inside, these plugs are totally soft; even the little "mini-grip" handle on the end is soft and pliable. Because they're soft, a small hard plastic insertion tool (included) is needed to push them into your ear canal. Moistening the white shell makes insertion a little smoother. Putting them in takes a little practice; the first time, I pushed one in way too far and had a moment of panic compounded by my positioning the little mini-grip handle downward (it is offset from center) so it was flush against my ear canal and hard to grasp (or even find). A moment of digging with my pinkie got the plug out and I won't repeat the mistake. Positioning the "mini-grip" handle toward the upper side of your tool before insertion will help center it in your ear canal and make removal easy. Sound-wise, they provide good noise attenuation; not quite as quiet as my previous earplugs (Etymotic ER20) but good. The major thing going for these is softness which makes them super comfortable for long rides. I did need to reseat them occasionally during a ride: taking off my helmet and putting it back on sometimes slightly dislodged a plug, breaking the sound seal. Might be because I'm not inserting them deeply enough. But good plugs, they do the job, recommended.

These make a huge difference. I always wear them if I go over 40mph because the wind noise is just stupid and painful otherwise. You don't realize how bad it is until you try these. Don't worry, you can still hear your exhaust and music very well, but the wind noise is nonexistent. They fit well for me, very light and noninvasive. I keep them in their case in my tail bag.

I think there is good as you could probably get, they come with a tool to help you put them in your ears, but the tool doesn't work very well for me. They always end up coming out after I'm on the bike for 5 minutes. So I have to shove them in with my fingers as far as possible before I get on the bike instead of using the tool. I think they block out too much music. I like that they block out a lot of wind noise but they also block out almost all of my cardo music.

Took my first ride with these today after being skeptical of using ear plugs on the bike. A personal game changer for me as it cut down on excess ambient noise with the wind and bike. Could hear my music/intercom on cardo much clearer throughout my entire ride and they didn't slip out. Very good product for riding in the Twisties.

These are great and pretty much exactly what I was looking for. My Buell Ulysses motorcycle has a tendency to push air right up into my helmet creating LOUD wind noise - so much so that after one week I was sure I would have permanent hearing damage by summer’s end. These do not so much “block” the noise as mute it to a very acceptable and safe level. (I am on a motorcycle so if I didn’t hear ANY wind noise that would concern me!) Also, as advertised I can still hear cars around me, my bike’s engine noises and I can even hear my music over my Bluetooth communication system better than without them. Huge plus! I deducted one star because the stem is quite short and they can sometimes be hard to fish out. A couple times I’ve had to use the tool for inserting them to pry one around so that I can get at the little pull-string-thingy better. I am still getting use to them, especially inserting them. The tool helps a lot and this is the method I’ve found works best for me: take your opposite hand and reach over the top of your head and pull your earlobe up slightly while inserting the plug (using the tool) and rotating in a circle as you apply slight pressure. I keep rotating and pressing slightly until I can “hear” that it is seated correctly. If this sounds complicated or confusing it is not - once you try it it will all make sense, trust me!

Llevo un 🪖 shoei nxr2 (que se supone que es bastante silencioso, cosa que bueno...) y el ruido del 💨 en autovía seguía siendo molesto. Y ya como lleves un escape o algún amigo que no lleve dbkiller, llegaba a casa después de una mañana de ruta con dolor de cabeza. Miré reseñas sobre este producto y decidí comprarlo para conseguir mitigar esos molestos ruidos. El producto funciona ✅. No esperéis que os produzca un silencio placentero sino más bien es una atenuación del ruido que convierte una conducción que hasta antes era molesta, en una cómoda. Es como cuando tienes los oídos entaponados y te das cuenta de lo bien que ibas hasta que tragas saliva y desparece esa sensación. Su colocación en la 👂 es bastante fácil, más que los típicos de goma espuma que has de apretar para que se hagan un churro. Estos es introducirlos y listo. Una vez puestos, con el ⛑️ apenas te acuerdas de que los llevas, no rozando con las esponjas del casco ni produciendo malestar alguno. Para extraerlos es bastante fácil y cómodo, tirar y listo. Comodidad. Me parecen cómodos ✅. Soy usuario asiduo de los de goma espuma (por los estudios) y estos son mucho mejor. Al tener las membranas de material siliconoso o similar, la expansión del material en el canal auditivo no es molesta, pues aprieta y sella sin causar dolor o molestia. El 💶, 👎. Creo que tienen un precio muy elevado. No sé cuánto durarán pero por lo que valen estos compras como 10 pares de los de goma espuma.

Raz na sezon trzeba kupić nowe (guma zużywa się). Są tego warte bez dwóch zdań!

Plugs come with an insertion tool BUT no instructions for use. In fact the instructions made no mention of what the little piece of plastic was. ...not that YouTube couldn't help but weird. Did about 20km highway ride and so far very impressed. Music and comms (compliments of Cardo freecom 4x) very clear. Still hear the wind but no rumble whatsoever. ...of course a high cross or headwind will be the ultimate test but so far great. And very comfortable. ...not like the decibulls I tried last week. And now I've had issues removing them a couple times and have had to ask for help. Contacted Alpine but no solutions were offered. ...might have to return them

Does what it’s supposed to, doesn’t block out general noise so you can still hear your bike and your surroundings. Only comes in one size and it comes with a small pouch which you can attach to your key rings and store the earplugs safely. Very easy to clean as well and it’s not very noticeable because it sits snug in the ears.

Bonjour, Je trouve les protections d'oreilles Alpine MotoSafe Race plutôt efficaces. Ils sont confortables à porter (ne procure pas de gène dans le casque.) et filtre bien le bruit de vent. Le son des écouteurs reste parfaitement audible tout comme les sons extérieur tels que la sonorité moteur, les bruits de circulation. J'apprécie ces bouchons d'oreilles, car depuis que je les porte, mes maux de tête provoqués par le bruit du vent dans mon casque ont disparu.
