Excellent review, Thank You! I`ve been searching for a quality ear plug for riding my touring bike while communicating with my wife on intercom and also listening to the stereo at times. I`m gonna give these a try, I ordered a pair of the race plugs. Thanks again 😎
I did purchase a pair of the race plugs, they do work well but having to use a tool for insertion is a big negative for me. Makes it difficult to judge the proper depth of insertion plus just another thing to fumble with. Also not very good for listening to bike stereo. But they do work well at blocking out wind noise and still being able to hear other sounds such as bike exhaust
Thank you for your video. I was worried that they would not be comfortable pushing into your ears. But you seem to have no problems. I was going to get only the touring ones but due to the video decided to get the pro as my bike is a naked bike with no windscreen. Ordered a set today. Plan to use the red ones on highways and the black ones in town when going to the shops.
@@escapeartist7900 I got mine a few days ago and have done several trips that are 100 miles one way, so 200 miles total per trip with most of it on the highway. Only used the red ones and have to say they make a massive difference on the highway. Such a pleasure now to ride. However. In town I find them a bit too quite. Will use the black ones in town. They are far more comfortable than the silicone wax plugs or the sponge t plugs I used to use. Highly recommended.
Have a set of these, find them ok, comfortable over long periods. Just make sure you insert them the right way. Push em too far in and you might have a job getting them out. I found that out the hard way. Also a little fiddly having to put them into the little plastic stick to insert them. I have a set of custom earmolds as well and while they're better at blocking wind noise, you can't keep em in as long as the Alpines as they start to irritate your ear.
Great review, I have been using both the red and black types for the last couple of years. The red are the best choice for 'naked' bike riding, whilst the black are okay on fared bikes. A lot depends on the nature and design of the faring, plus the type of crash helmet worn....I tend towards the red type to suppress wind noise on my flip-up type helmet, whilst riding a (Triumph Street Triple)...turning the volume up on my intercom system slightly. Great product, highly recommended
Hey what a great review. I've been watching a couple of reviews and everyone talks about the decibel rating but nobody did what you just did. Really appreciate it. I'll be getting the Alpine sport. On another note though what is that thing around your neck? Imagine an airbag of some sort but I just don't know Don't recognize the gear.
Thanks Tarso. The item around my neck is an O'neal neck collar (I think that's what it's called). I use it for neck support in a fall, however I have been informed that apparently it is of little to no use. I personally find this hard to believe but if you're looking for neck / spinal support while riding, do some research of your own for sure. Thanks again for the comment and thanks for watching.
Thanks for the heads up Daniel. I just tried and got the same thing. Googled xenonoz and it brought up their page at xenonoz.com - really not sure what's up with that.
@@paulg101 i used Touring plugs, felt like i did not have them in at all....no difference... not even lovering the wind noise, nothing And very hard to pull them out of the ear

Did you end up getting some? What's your impression?

I have been using these now for over 12 months and find them comfortable to the point where I forget they're in my ears.

Great result! I'm glad they've worked well for you.
I have the Alpine Motosafes, and they are great. I don't leave home without them!!!!

Just got my set and I will never ride without ear protection again
Great review!! Thanks
Use these plugs in the uk, have been for years they work well for me
sorry this took too long to get to the point ,,not sure if it did ,,,do they reduce wind noise at hi way speeds but allow listing helmet speakers
Tried the address and got page error, searched the web and got another Aus site and cheaper.
