So today, my daughter and I went on a 300 mile ride through some warm areas, which hit nearly 100 degrees. Although my whole body was hot, I didn't notice that my ears were any hotter than the rest of my body. My ears didn't sweat any more than the rest of my head, either. My daughter, who doesn't have the Quiet Ride Muffs installed in her Arai Corsair V, wore ear plugs. Actually, I should qualify that, she wore them for half of the ride. Because it was such a long ride, the ear plugs started hurting her ears so much that she had to remove them. Then, she asked if we could change helmets. She wants me to install them in her helmet now. The only thing I don't like about the Quiet Ride Muffs is the name!
It's been about 2 months since you installed the muffs. How do you like them now? Would you recommend them to others?
You know, for 80 bucks or so, this isn't a bad farkle to try. I usually don't listen to music unless it's a long ride...300+, but I do answer the cell, especially when I'm on a business trip. I also find that using ear plugs hurts after awhile. Wind noise actually wears me out mentally and physically and I find that if the ride is quiet, I'm in much better shape. I'm going to try these out.
Thanks, Scogan, for bringing this to our attention. And stop by more often!
I'm so sorry that I didn't reply to your question sooner. i haven't been on the forum for a long while. I love the muffs!!! I can't imagine being without them. It's so nice to listen to my music without wind noise. When it's time for a new helmet, the first thing I'll be doing is installing another pair.
.........., I took it one step further and moved the chin strap for even a better fit............
I have a very tight Shoei X-11 that I really like. I also have very large ears that I have to unfold every time I put on my helmet.
