I have the mold material to make the impressions for these but never got around to actually doing it. I was ordering these and custom tips for my earphones. Do these do a good job with the wind noise? I know they are supposed to block wind noise well and yet allow other ambient noises to pass. Do you feel they do a good job of protecting your ears?
Definitely! I highly recommend them for anyone who rides long distances or regularly as it really cuts down on the ear fatigue and long term hearing loss. Yesterday I did a ride with my wife and friends and decided not to use the earplugs since my wife doesn't have any and I felt it at the end of the day. Combine having the music all day long and also having the wind noise (it was really windy out so we had more wind noise than normal) after getting home, I was happy to not have all the noise going on anymore. I went to a local hearing aid company and he did the mold for me and ordered the plugs through him. I opted to get the higher end silicone instead of the vinyl as don't think I am going to stop riding anytime soon and the way the hearing guy explained it, the silicone will last longer than the vinyl.
