Omg este es un pelodudoooooo reverendo gil

For riding and wind noise cancelation, and still to hear at communication or listening music, the Alpine is the No.1. And all this new earplugs are just not that much good or better....

Super stupid video

Thanks for this video. It convinced me to try the Alpines which I didn’t think would be anything special. Turns out they’re great and are my new favorites.

I am puzzled this is loud considering this (almost the same helmet): czcams.com/video/R6qP0bzi1rI/video.html Perhaps the noise level depends a LOT on the kind of bike?

How can i buy through your url? Where can i find the link?

I am surprised that Earpeace did not come out on top. I bought the Alpine’s based on this review, but immediately went back to the Earpeace. To me there was no comparison. Mind you I have not been using the oval shaped ones. The round ones work great.

Bought the Alpine Race. Agree with the results here. Abit of fuss getting use to them, related to fitting and proper depth but once that was sorted they are really good. Better than anything else I have used by a long shot. Thanks for the accurate review and info. 🇨🇦

This is the worst advice I ever heard. I have an Airtag on my Dad's car and I've never seen it not get pinged. iPhones are literally everywhere unless you live in the boonies. And even if a theif gets notified, so what? That'll probably scare them more. Plus they're so inexpensive that you can put 4 tags on the bike if you wanted. Good luck finding all 4 before I'm able to track you down. Other GPS trackers usually have poor battery life and you'll constantly be worried about having to charge it. Plus they usually cost $30/month.

I have to confirm it is quite loud, riding a naked motorbike anything above 60Kph the wind noise is very clear. 1 hour of riding at 100Kph and my ears were ringing. I have been gifted this helmet but I am going to use earplugs to reduce wind noise

I'm a teen looking at getting a helmet to get into motorbikes. When you say wears earplugs, would wireless earbuds works? That way I can listen to music while riding.

For foamies, I think you missed a good option by not including Hearos Xtreme Protection (the soft blue ones). They reduce by 33 dB, and they're soft and comfy. For my son, I cut one plug in half with a razor, & it fits his little ears perfectly.

You wanted to find the "absolute best, full stop, regardless of price" and yet you didn't try the best. I have been using Challenger (Gen I) earmold speakers (from Precision Labs, now Audina) for over 20 years. They are The Bomb for listening to music, hearing my Cardo, etc.. Every time I have gotten a new set of those made, I have also had them make me a set of custom molded ear plugs from the same silicone they use for the earmold speakers. When I just want quiet, with no music or intercom, they are what I use. Custom molded silicone ear plugs are actually the best hearing protection for motorcycle use. In my opinion, of course. Bonus, they last forever. The time limit on them is that human ears gradually change shape a little bit over the years. That is the only real reason to have to get new custom ear molds made. My original Challengers from over 20 years ago still work and I can use them. They just don't fit me and seal quite as well as the new ones I got earlier this year. And, for motorcyclists who want to listen to music or talk on an intercom or phone, custom earmold speakers are by FAR the best way to do that and still protect your hearing. WAY better than even the fancy JBL in-helmet speakers I got with my Cardo.

If you're having problems with excessive exhaust noise, the solution is to fix your exhaust system, not earplugs.

what's your opinion on noise cancelling earbuds?

Have you tested all of the alpine motosafe plugs?

Why did you not try the wax/silicone? My top choice.

I use the Alpine ear plugs too. They also make some "deep sleep" earplugs (for sleeping). Don't buy those, they're absolutely worthless, even though they're supposed to cancel noise by 26 dba. In my experience, it's closer to 0 db

A year ago, you wrote why airtag isn't good for tracking a motorcycle. You have some interesting arguments but I want to comment (that video is child-proof, so commenting is not possible). 1. The ONLY way Find My app can locate your device is through GPS. There is no other way. Bluetooth is only used to signal between the GPS (phone) and the device. Find My will show the exact place where it was last seen, just as any other map location - IN THE WORLD. 2. How long will a thief look for this device knowing it is "hot"? Police could be chasing you already. Sometimes it takes hours for the notification to actually work. 3. The Airtag can be stripped down even further, and make it very hard to find. It might even look like a part of the circuit board of something already installed. Then, how can a $30 device be a "bad" thing, when it is the ONLY thing that might retrieve your bike back? Curious on your thinking. All the best, regards from / Sweden

After trying quite a few I agree the Alpine are best. I also use Mack’s Ultra Soft for long distance highway rides. They cut out 33 decibels and are comfy for a long quiet ride.

Plugfones.😊

Nice review. Just ordered the Alpine Tour and the silicone gel plugs to help me sleep in hotels while traveling. Much appreciated.

what about hearos high fidelity? The alpine once are too expensive here in my country

FIM bro.

I try everything strongly recommended because tinnitus is permanent, so I’ll try the Alpines. But reducing all noise categories makes most sense to me, and I’ve yet to wish to hear more than I can with Hearos, for my average/large ear canals the best db reduction and most comfortable.

For iPhone users, save your money and buy Gen2 AirPod pros. 100% noise cancelling while listening to your music and any level you desire. Plus, conversation mode and adaptive modes to add option on what you want to accomplish and if you do want to hear some exhaust notes😂. I’ve bought all these eat plugs over time and also had the Sena 50S system,which I completely ripped out once I got the new AirPods Pro. (I also have the 1st Gen AirPods Pro, but it’s night&day difference between the 2)

65 years old. just spent money on ear plugs you put in hot water to form to your ear. hate them, don't fit right, fall out. Guy is right below this. Foam BY FAR the foam ones best, Hands down. Don't waste your money like I did

Although I do use the alpine ones and they are amazing, I can't help but see this video as just another paid advertising due to the affiliate link...nobody takes you seriously when you are basically sponsored by the "winner" of your comparison test... Dislike

I have used my ear pieces that I bought 6 years ago and they have been exceptional and still work like they did when new. I can really knock down the wind/road noise but still hear my helmet audio perfectly fine. Mine came with 3, I will definitely give the Alpine's a try if you think they are that much better than the awesome EarPeace!

I've been sleeping with earplugs for 30 years, best decision I've ever made, all thanks to the noisy neighbor that I had when I was in college.

The best hearing protection for motorcycling, by far, are professional earmolds made by an acoustician. Nothing else comes close.

Am I missing something? The Alpine's have a stated NRR of 17-20. That's nothing compared to foamies that are 31-33 NRR

Walgreens or CVS foamies , 32 or 33 decibel, pink or blue, all day comfort, can still make out songs on Spotify and I can hear others via mesh clearly up to 75mph.

Oh my God this Honda CBR600RR is fast. I had to sell it for fear of my life. Far far too tempting to talk with Jesus. My 79 CB 750K is more my style and survivorship. 23 fewer horsepower and 100 pounds heavier. Goes good enough for me.

You should disclose the PAID PROMOTION

Love this bike a friend had one. amazing.

I bought alpines a few years ago, recommended on CZcams, but mostly because they publish all the data and they are very comfortable and they work without the feeling of my ear being stuffed full of expanding foam. And you can still hear voices and some traffic noise, which suits me best.

He threw out the wax earplugs right away because they are wax? I use them exclusively. Cheap, one time use, super soft, blocks plenty of sound. And you can find them at any pharmacy.

thanx

I have been miserable trying earplugs lately. This is my second season riding, and my first year I never wore plugs at all. I never noticed it being much of an issue at the slower speeds I was going on my CB350 (never more than about 55). This year I stepped up to a CB650 nighthawk and after one ride home from work on the interstate noticed my ears in excruciating pain. I have since developed tinnitus in both ears (I am 30 and have not paid enough attention to this in the past. I certainly don't think it was only because of this one ride, but it has definitely gotten much worse) which is very concerning, so I have been searching like mad for a good set of earplugs so I can enjoy riding again. Most recently I tried the Decibullz - I may need to give them one more try and mold them while wearing my helmet, but so far I have been disappointed. They become dislodged when trying to put the helmet on, and after about 45 minutes of riding my outer ears were in a great deal of pain from the harder plastic. I appreciate the comprehensive video, and I will probably be giving the Alpines a shot.

in my experience nothing comes anywhere close to simple foam earplugs and I have tried them all pretty much!

I’ve been a machinist and riding for over 40 years. I’ve worn every type of earplug. Can’t beat the foam plugs. They just work the best.

HEAROS foamies are the best with highest db rating at 33db. They are also inexpensive. I’ll look at the alpine though.

I wear Decibullz and they are fantastic. Extremely comfortable, no wind noise.

The auto on/off is meant for a day of riding not overnight or long term. Turn your unit off overnight or longer. And yes, I think the 45mm headphones are louder and clearer.

I have the Alpines. Sadly, I get a feeling that my head is immersed in a bucket of water! Hated it!

For a more quiet, street oriented helmet, the Exo 1400 is probably the better choice

I constantly loose my ear plugs, or have to dispose of them after a few uses, so the disposable foam plugs works for me. I prefer the "Moldex" brand. I was recently in Europe and needed some and found a brand, "Quies" which also worked well.

I like my $40 Amazon Bluetooth plugs with a cord. They fit perfect and block lots of noise and are cheap and light a comfortable

Have you thought of fitting a silencer to your bike? They usually come with them to reduced the unearthly howling scream down to a pleasant burble. I have them on my bikes and have no need of irritating earplugs. They're amazing, you can ride for hours without getting tinnitus.
