Earplugs For Motorcyclists
Protecting your ears is important because regardless of your choice of helmet the reverberations and sounds from riding a motorcycle can be damaging.

You have riding protection for your hands, feet, legs, torso, and head, so why not your ears? You may be a safe rider, but some motorcyclists don’t realize that they are still affecting that valuable organ when they are traveling at roadway speeds. Take care of yourself by putting a barrier between your eardrums and the damaging decibels by wearing earplugs. These ones can help.
Quality Over Quantity
Discrete, comfortable, and sound filtering, the Vibes earplugs provide great protection while riding.

These earplugs from Vibes are editor tested and the noise reduction quality is great. These earplugs help filter specific frequencies while still allowing sounds from communication systems, for example, to come through rather than blocking all sound out completely. They not only protect your ears, but they are nearly invisible with the low-profile design. Different tip sizes are included to allow the best fit possible. Enclose it in its own carrying case and you can fit these safely in your pocket when you are off the bike.
Power In Numbers
Although these are brightly colored you are still bound to have these bound away from you. Luckily this pack is massive.

Earplugs, being the small and bouncy little things that they are, tend to get lost if dropped. They can be misplaced anywhere, so your best bet to make sure you have them available is to stockpile them, with a 200-pack like this one—do I sound like a hoarder? Maybe. I digress, these are prepackaged and claimed to be soil resistant due to their closed foam structure that prevents dirt buildup. Squeeze them down and insert them. They too fit in most ear sizes. These have a noise reduction rating (NRR) of 32.
Not So Flashy
These earplugs can be utilized not only for motorcycling, but for concerts, travel, and other loud events.

The beige coloring allows for this earplug to also be more discreet. Like the previous earplug, these are made of foam to provide comfort and to expand within a variety of ear canal shapes and sizes while also providing noise protection. They are claimed to have a noise reduction rating (NRR) of 32 decibels making them optimum for a variety of noise-canceling uses besides motorcycling. They come in a case with a flip-open lid so you can keep them in the garage or on the table with your keys as a helpful reminder to wear ear protection when you take your motorcycle out for a ride.
Caddy Included
This earplug is claimed to have an NRR of 33, which gives it a greater potential for noise reduction—and in turn protection from more damaging sounds. This product comes with 10 pairs, plus a case for convenient carrying. The light, smooth tapered foam allows you to easily insert them so you can stay protected from loud sounds like wind and traffic noise, machinery, music, or other loud noises.
