They've arrived! - Custom Moulded Earplugs unbox & test

[@frogclip1]

Have been using the same set of Ultimate Hearing custom plugs for 7 years and counting. Superb. The pouch you get now looks much posher than what I got though - and didn’t get a cleaning tool either.

[@dalehawkes1698]

I’ve used these for about 10 years absolutely love them don’t ride without them I lost one and couldn’t find it long grass in Austria called U ear sent them my blanks they made just one for me service is impeccable can’t say any fairer than that they the best imo well worth every penny 👍👍

[@mancavemoto]

Same hear, a real game changer product for me, and the service and support from the guys is really good

Great Video - Custom Earguards in Leamington Spa (Warwickshire) do exactly the same - I've had a pair for a year now and they have made riding my T120 a real pleasure again (especially as I use it to commute on every day). Like you I found the foam plugs gave me earache after a couple of hours. Similar prices & products.

[@mancavemoto]

Bond, James Bond Cool, they really do make a bigger difference than i expected

[@stags-gr8to]

Paul H. Which product did you Paul?

[@gordonscott2838]

I got a pair of 'Sound Ears' from these guys, they are just amazing, both with bike to bike/pillion comms and music. What he says about having to turn the volume down is absolutely correct.

[@mancavemoto]

Excellent, I might have to try a pair of those in the future

[@GettinAuld]

Super cool. Great vid! The logo is a nice touch!

I know you made this video a few years back now but I'm looking at this now in 2023. As a sufferer of tinnitus (randomly and inexplicably in just one ear), the various options are huge and the price points just as varied when it comes to custom options. I'm not sure where the justification is in price but certainly the applicatiion will be the same, give or take, and can only assume the materials used have some quality differences to account for what I've found varying from £70 right through to £300 for attenuation filtered options.

[@mancavemoto]

Some offerings out there do seem to charge a very high premium for not much. The standard 'squidies' I have are around 5 years old and are still as good as the day I got them. Great value for money I think

[@MrCrofty51]

Bought a set of squidgies 12 months ago - not looked back. Found the service from Ultimate to be excellent too.

[@fistouille23]

can you use the squidgy for sleeping ? are they confortable enough?

[@jamesweber4938]

I am looking at getting some custom ear plugs for the same reason as you.I have the Earpeace ones and they work well but I have a problem with them. The right one always comes loose.

[@mancavemoto]

I had exactly the same problem, the custom moulded ones have been a revelation

[@lyndon2634]

Hi Tony. Are the more expensive plugs worth the extra money? Not sure weather to just order some squdgies or go for the variable ones.

[@mancavemoto]

The ported ones are handy if you use comms a lot, but you can still hear it with the standard squidgies. I use the standard ones more often tbh

[@lyndon2634]

[@percy9228]

@@lyndon2634 thanks Lyndon, my use case is different, I will be using as a student and mainly so I can block as much noise as possible while studying, I'm going to bite the bullet and buy some but deciding on which company

[@Midlife5]

Hi Tony, thanks for the video. I know the video was a long time ago but I’m looking at buying a pair of the filtered earplugs from Ultimate.. you bought the 23db version and I know they also do a 29db version. How did you find the 23db’s, I don’t do constant high speeds and listen to my Cardo so want to still be able to hear that and traffic noise. Torn between the 2 options and wondered what your experience was? Thanks again 👍🏻

[@mancavemoto]

Thanks, to be honest there’s not a massive difference, but if I’m using comms I’ll wear the 23db. The port just makes the earphones a touch clearer which means you don’t have to turn it up as loud

[@Midlife5]

@@mancavemoto perfect, thanks Tony! I have the same issues where normal earplugs won’t stay in!! Thanks again, really appreciate your help

[@mancavemoto]

No problem

[@percy9228]

Hi Tony, thanks for the reviews. I'm interested in purchasing these but they would be for studying, I like it perfectly quiet when studying and wondering if you think these will be better thank throwaway ones, I'm guessing they are more comfortable but will they block all sound? I heard throwaway ones have higher noise blocking but will these be good enough? thanks for any help

[@mancavemoto]

They would be more comfortable than disposable ones. You can also have them made to block more sound as far as I know. Obviously for bike use you still want some ambient noise. I have worn these at night and it’s meant I can’t hear people snoring!

[@clintrose8858]

Just ordered squidgy from ultimate ear thanks TONY

[@mancavemoto]

No problem, enjoy! I never ride without them

[@R8TD-M]

Where are the links? I need to know too if I can get these in the States. Never wore earplugs while on the bike before, but I always have on the shooting ranges (military, law enforcement and personal). But this new VooDoo exhaust on my bike is making me rethink this. So I want them to be a "perfect fit for me!" Help!

[@mancavemoto]

I’m sure you can find similar in the US. this company is based in the UK, so obviously taking moulds is pretty tricky 😂

[@jakekibble484]

Great video mate, just started watching your stuff and love it. I’ve got small ear canals and haven’t found any yet so going to get custom ones. I have an interphone just wondering if I do get comms ear plugs are they filtered so you can hear sirens and horns and all the rest of it? Cheers, Jake

[@george1906]

Jake Kibble You’ll be able to hear a siren with any sort of hearing protection

[@pnpark]

Are they comfortable to sleep with and on the side?

[@mancavemoto]

yes they are pretty good, but the guys do make a set specfically for sleeping in

[@nikoscosmos]

How long did you have to wait for delivery? I've been waiting 6 weeks so far!

[@mancavemoto]

A few weeks, six weeks seems a long time, give em a call

[@mikestewart7322]

They look great Tony, how much were they or did you mention in a previous vid? I’m guessing £80 + Give a ball park price if you would rather. Cheers👍🏻🏍

[@mancavemoto]

Hi Mike, they make a world of difference. once you try them I don't think you'd ever go back. The Squidys are £65 the filtered (ported) plugs are £85.

[@mikestewart7322]

Views from the Man Cave thanks mate, just have to get down to Orpington now.👍🏻😆👂🙉

[@timjamesvella]

Do you have trouble with the ear plugs becoming dislodged when putting the helmet on? Mine always come out.

[@mancavemoto]

Not putting the helmet on, sometimes when I take it off, but usually only if i've used too much 'lube'

[@logannydegger2401]

How is the filtered plug? I have tinnitus and of course ringing is louder when all sound is blocked out. Does the filter plug still allow ambient sound in while reducing loud noises (wind noise) thanks.

[@mancavemoto]

Very good, both the standard 'Squidgy' and filtered plugs allow ambient noise. The filtered allows a little bit more in

[@anonymoususer1231]

Tip:: If your going to lick it to put it in your ear lick it before not after.

[@mancavemoto]

😂 yes indeed

[@Deadonkey85]

Someone needs to buy both these and a set from custom fit guards and compare. Not a free set or sponsored video but an independent comparison

[@mancavemoto]

Why does buying them make any difference to the review? People can review products without bias regardless of how they were acquired. I did actually pay for the Squigies and this wasn't a sponsored video, so its an independent review. In terms of the comparison with Custom fit guards, theres probably virtually no difference in the performance of the earplugs between the two companies. Its going to come down to price and service. Ultimate hearing provide service to industrial and motorsport organisations, which was good enough for me

[@Deadonkey85]

The difference is custom fit guards are hard plastic where these look soft. It would be interesting to see which are more comfortable. It also seem pretty obvious that cfg are way more aggressive in their distribution to influencers. It is hard to stay impartial if your getting free things, you maybe can do it. But I’m not convinced others can.

[@mattie_sizer7187]

Do they do swimming ear plugs too?

Yes they do them for all kinds of sports/industries

Please 🙏 what you suggest me to be the best ears plugs for not hearing a sound at all ? 🙏 My husband snore so so bad, and ears foam does not work, and I have like ears too. I want to not hear ANY SOUND going crazy ! Does that exist please ? I want to sleep back with him but that is impossible.... I havectinnitus too and hypersensitive to sound ! Thanks so much, I dream to not hear anything at all 🌌🌌🌌

[@mancavemoto]

You can get them made with different attenuation levels. On a motorcycle you still need to hear some ambient sounds, but for industrial use it’s not always so important. Ultimate hearing protection make plugs for all kinds of industries, it would be worth having a chat with them
