Alpine Motosafe - Motorcycle Earplugs 2021 Are they the best? They are the most comfortable for me.

[@alexguest9937]

I've been off bikes since I got tinnitus from motorcycle wind noise back in 2017. That "jet engine" sound right next to your ears just KILLS your hearing. With these I can potentially see a return to 2 wheels. Excellent words in the video there!

Ive been using mine for a few years now and I don't ride without them. makes a huge difference and you can easily still use a communications unit without having to turn the volume up

I began motorcycling in the UK way back in the early 1950s, my first bike was a 1951 250cc Excelsior Talisman Twin, a vertical tein cylinder twostroke, From that I progressed to Ariels, 350cc single then a 1955 650cc Huntmaster. I had plenty of others afterwards, BSA, Triumph, AJS, . There was no hearing protection at all in those days, little safety gear and the only helmet you coukd get was an ACU approved racing helmet, just a dome with a leather harness, look at the old Isle of Man TT races, you'll see what they were like, Not many of us wore helmets at all in those days, I rode a lot of sporting trials which get quite technical and wore a waxed weatherproof Barbour suit which was the top of the line, Also I was in the RAF and on a flying station with jet engines and once again, there was no hearing protection, As a result I have a major hearing problem!

Fascinating Keith. Thanks for sharing that. I hope over time that people might read these comments from people with real world experience like yourself. It's easy to feel bullet proof when you are young eh.

[@donaldmiller7822]

Hi Purchased a set of these a month or so ago and the difference is very noticeable! Very comfortable to wear and easy to insert. Highly recommended!

[@WeeJaunt]

Thanks for the feedback Donald.. Decent earplugs are hard to find I'm glad they work for you 👍

[@Boden2024]

What a brilliant straight talking video, I am looking to buy some earplugs and came upon this video... very informative, thank you. I have subscribed. Keep up the great work mate

[@skotty1962]

Good advice. I'm 58 and have a moderate high frequency hearing loss primarily age related and tinnitus triggered by sitting in the firing line of a speaker at a concert earlier this year. Constant high pitched hiss. Learning to live with it and manage it. Look after your ears chaps.

[@WeeJaunt]

Im glad experienced riders like yourself are sharing these stories it's easy to feel like you are bullet proof when you are young eh. Thanks Scott 👍

[@philiproyffe8022]

Hi, was actually just looking at purchasing these, thanks for the review, nice to hear from a user,😁😁😁😁

[@WeeJaunt]

That's good. They have been good for me so I hope they work out for you 👍

[@Pipimiepje]

Thanks buddy, I’m riding an electrical bike (25 km/hour) and even at that speed wind noise is considerable. So I’m going to buy the earplugs you demonstrated. Only €15 euro’s in the Netherlands

[@nathanyt]

I've only started wearing a pair (regular foam ones) recently, and one thing I noticed as its side effects is that I am significantly less tired after the ride. I think they call it noise fatigue or listener fatigue where hearing loud noises (e.g. wind noise) for long periods of time can add to fatigue. With ear plugs on, I am less tired and I find myself enjoying my rides more.

[@harleyd028]

Great advice

[@WeeJaunt]

Thanks. Usually overlooked by almost every new rider. Tbh I blame rider training it's virtually never mentioned.

[@davidroberts7490]

I have the red ones and I agree they are very good.

[@WeeJaunt]

There's not many I would recommend but these are about as good as you can get for all day use I think.

[@roblippiatt874]

I’m now having to wear hearing aids at the age of 50 , not all down to riding a motorbike but wearing ear plugs is essential which I now do.

[@WeeJaunt]

Absolutely Robert. Last year when I was living in Indonesia was the period I was most guilty. I was out almost everyday riding around in the sun. Jungles beaches etc. Only wore them maybe 50% of the time and tbh that's when I realised the tinnitus was getting worse. I never ride without then now.

[@johnimmins7302]

This a good informative video about hearing problems and bike riding. I am 73 and have tinnitus but I think it has been caused by heavy loud rock music. I will try the ear plugs and see we go. I am enjoying your videos but I cannot seem to find the one with you picking up your adventure bike. Keep up the good work.👍

[@WeeJaunt]

Hi John thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching. I attempted to film the video a couple of days after this one. Spent maybe an hour and a half on it only to find when I got home the memory card was corrupted. Nightmare lol. I just haven't got back to it but I will soon enough 👍

[@johnimmins7302]

@@WeeJaunt Thanks for your reply, I'll look forward to watching it.

[@xerox8080]

Hearing a guy talking about earplugs is so boring even his bike fell asleep 😂😂😂No seriously mate, good video. I bought exactly the same earplugs because I'm also suffering from tinnitus in my left ear and I don't want to make it worse. These plugs are extremely soft and comfortable to wear, one of the best on the market I guess....

[@WeeJaunt]

Cheers mate sorry I missed this comment earlier. Aye good earplugs lol 👍

[@Tim955w]

I have been considering some of these Alpine ear plugs, having always used the foam type (that look like a Rhubarb and Custard sweets), i would prefer a type that last longer before having to throw them away. My reason for not buying so far has been that the noise reduction dB rating looks to be better for the foam type with some people saying they block to much noise. Personally i just want to maximise protection to my already damaged hearing, i just don't like the fact that their performance drops of after a few uses. Whilst appreciating the Alpine's are engineered to block certain sounds - how would you compare the red type to the foam type plugs that i use. Best wishes.

[@Bu115y]

Hi Wee Jaunt. I'm considering the Decibullz too and wondered how you rate them? Cheers

[@henryfoulkes7793]

Great video, thanks for making it. Do you ride with a comms unit? If you do or anyone reading this does, can you still hear it with the red ones?

[@WeeJaunt]

Hi Henry yes mate Iv literally just done a video about it a couple of days ago 👇 kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJzTnqSvfdOWnbc I talk about my com system and these earplugs. I use both red and black. You can listen to music have conversations etc. It is more difficult at fairly high speeds with the red plugs though not impossible..kind of a balance between safety and convenience.

[@wainedodd8055]

I used to think it was the sound of silence. Now I hear it over everything else.

[@WeeJaunt]

The sounds of constant buzz lol

[@wainedodd8055]

Would give up my imaginary kingdom to have 30 minutes a day rest bite from it. Peace And quiet must be a beautiful thing.

[@MrWhothefoxthat]

suffered with it for years, driving trucks with the window down that's a lot of noise.

[@juangallardo5827]

[@cheezit58]

I totally 100% disagree. These are flat out worthless. I had to return mine for a refund. They simply don't do what EVERYBODY is telling you. I fell for all the hype and bought a set of these just to be EXTREMLEY DISSAPOINTED. Don't waste your money. There are several good cheap silicon earplugs you can buy for under 8 bucks that do a whole lot better job reducing noise than these and I mean a whole lot better. If you do end up buying these because you simply don't believe me, just make sure you buy them from a vendor that will give you a refund in case you find out I'm right so you won't be out of 25.00. Good luck
