Pinlock Earplugs

Ta - I will also stick to foam ones.

 

Same here, pinlock were useless, back to foam ones.....

 

Ah but you do get a unique case with a key and card holder!!

 

Most probably called NGK or Champion

 

Had a set of Pinlock as a free gift when I bought a new Shoei NXR.

Know wonder they were free, I thought they were crap.

Well at least they cost me nowt

 

I got some, they work great! Maybe I’ve got weird shaped ears!

 

have a look at reviews on web very near the top was oxfords foam plugs they come in multipacks,i bought no noise plugs but never again £20 and did work fine but no better or worse than foam ones.

 

I'm sticking with foam ones - cheap and cheerful and they work.
(Loomies even sell them at the counter in case you lose one - I'm good at that!)

 

Ditto
I currently have the Howard LaserLite type with the dispenser, but will go to the orange Max ones when these are used up.
My technique is:
- role them in your fingers so they are a compressed cylinder shape
- wet them on your lips
- slide them into your ear while holding the back of your ear back to open the canal

As they expand they fill the ear canal and block all the loud stuff while allowing sirens and horn noises through

The dispenser is pretty crap though, can take a long time to get an ear plug out - prefer the two in a pack type

 

I found that if you use a pinlock of the right size for the orifice, you could get a real nice squealing sound out of it rather than the usual bass noi......

Oops, sorry, wrong forum.......

 

You paid £20 for these ... are you really a Scotsman

 

shocking statement I'm also true Scotsman and i paid £20 for the no noise plugs(must have been pissed l.o.l.),lost one of them and fook payin another £20

 

I use the old style yellow EAR plugs, but I modify them.

I drill through the middle and insert a 3/32 rivet into the middle. The reduced cross sectional area makes it fit me better (I guess it's not trying to expand into my ear canal so hard) while the rivet seems to reduce the road noise more than without it. Maybe from filling the hole in the part that isn't in my ear, but maybe to do with resonant frequencies.... Whatever the reason, it seems to work so I'll keep doing it!

 

Laserlite reduce sound more than Max ones. We used them both at a previous workplace, and my last stash has nearly run our 6 years later.

Just bought a box of 400 for £20.

 

I have used foam ones, they work best but i find tend to fall out under my helmet.
Tried the ear-peace ones similar to the pin lock, in my experienced they reduced noise but specifically not wind noise so for riding they were useless.
I have the pin lock ones, agreed slightly less effective than foam ones but they stay in so after a period of time they work when the foam would be rattling about my ear and not working.

I guess you could say, foam for best bang for bucks, pin lock for more consistency. I did have to think long and hard about spending 20 quid on them especially as i had already wasted a similar sum on the ear-peace ones. If you want to try silicone plugs you might be better off with disposable ones to see how you get on with them without spending too much

In Saucy Marys bunkhouse last year I shared with a fat Italian, GS1200 owner, who could snore like a jack hammer, Thankful I had my cheap foam plugs, to get a good nights sleep, they work on the bike too.

 

When I mentioned the snoring to the young French couple in the room, they did say I didnt have much room to speak.
