Great for riding
October 8, 2022
Great ear plug for riding. Reduce the wind noise, but you can still hear what's going on around you.
Pros
- Easy in and out, and to adjust.
- Reduce the wind noise.
- can still hear what's going on around you, or adjust them in and block it out.
- Easy to clean.
- Maintain their shape, last forever.
Cons
- So small and light, it's easy to lose one. Buy an extra set.

Here how this goes. I am thrilled with them. They hold back just the right amount of noise. I know this because I rode 1,200 miles and when I took them off my ear I could still hear very well as in normal, Other ones (rubber similar to these did not work). AMUST for easy insertion, I used a shoelace and inserted it the ends of the plugs & it stiffened them just enough. Cannot loose tham that way. Great product.

This is my second purchase of these ear plugs. I have very small ear canals and these are the most comfortable I have been able to find. No longer ride but they are great for working around power tools etc. and I can still hear the stereo when the tools are off. Comfortable enough that I don't have to constantly remove them.
These did not seem to work for me, not a good seal or noise reduction.

I tried 2 different types of ear plugs for long motorcycle rides and these were my favorite of the 2. They cut down on the noise and allowed me to talk to others when at a stop.

This is my second order of 3 pair. I ride without a helmet on a loud Harley and they meet my needs perfectly. If you're looking to completely block out all frequencies use the foam style, these have a specific design to allow certain frequencies to pass and they work as advertised.

I was hoping for a lower cost version of the nonoise motosport plugs. Even half as good would have been OK. It does OK for high pitch wind noise but greatly increase the low frequency booming noise of the wind around the helmet. I had to stop after 5-10 miles to switch out to a pair of cheap disposables.

I bought a pair several years ago and found that they very slowly harden so that they become more and more difficult to insert. What I think is happening is that residual ear wax is interacting with the rubber while they're sitting in the case. What I do now is keep the case filled with water while the plugs are being stored. It gets rid of the wax and hopefully will prevent or delay the hardening. I'd forgotten how nice they originally fit.

I like these earplugs. They work well, are comfortable, and most important, they have long stems that enable me to pull the plugs out of my ears. They are very reasonably priced. I'm going to buy more.

Had a concussion several month ago and tested many plugs. These just didn't offer the quietness of the foamies. and after a while, they hurt from the pressure. Admittedly, the foam plugs are a royal pain, but I was able to ride. BTW the concussion was not from a motorcycle.

These are the best earplugs I have found hands down. I re-ordered a spare set immediately and a set for a friend. Perfect!!!

I feel I have an average ear/size but these were way too small. I purchased other cheaper sets and they worked better. I have a ringing in my ear and it gets louder when I drive.

When in the Air Force I wore Extra Small ear plugs but can no longer find that size anywhere. Child-size plugs are even too large. The Wind Tamer will fit in my ear more comfortably than the Howard Leight Clarity small size ear plug (which fits better than the North Com-Fit triple flange green small plug), But even the Wind Tamer is still a bit too large. Wind Tamer has good performance in stopping noise.

These do a good job of staying in my ear while riding, but with my Shoei helmet they don't do a good enough job keeping the wind noise at bay. They are very good design, but just don't have enough noise reduction to be very useful.

These are very comfortable, can't tell they're in. They are a tad too small for my ear canals though as they don't fit tight as I'd like. They don't move around, but a bit larger would help block out more sound. They stay in great and are nearly invisible when in your ear. Other ear plugs make my ears ache like they are too big or something, but these don't, it's more because the way they are made versus not being tight in ears. Definitely worth the money if you ask me. Helps reduce wind noise all around, but will notice more at town speeds versus interstate speed. They still help at all speeds though.

Love the plugs! First earplug that I have used that cut the wind noise and still let me hear traffic, etc. The plugs I have used previously bothered my ears, and my hearing "after" wearing them. Not so with the Windtamers. Excellent product.

May 4, 2013
Wore these for the first time on a quick trip down Big Sur Coast. Did great blocking wind and noise. Other earplugs ached after only a few hours, I could wear these all day with no complaints. The only gripe would be the plastic container they came in. It would be convenient to attach it to the key ring for quick, easy and secure access. Would definetely recommend to all riders who want to preserve their hearing ...

The WindTamer is a great solution for motorcycling. I can still hear important traffic sounds; but a pleasant surprise is how well I can hear my own bike. I ride often on city and suburban streets and hearing the engine, transmission, and traction sounds is a cue I rely on to stay safe and within my comfort limits. I've been riding for a year and wish I had purchased these last spring when I got my license. I wear a helmet that muffles most of the wind noise, but the benefits to hearing the traffic and my bike made these worthwhile - even under that helmet.

I love them! I have a ruptured eardrum and have had to wear a full helmet. Now I wear a half helmet and enjoy the wind!

Great to keep the wind noise down to a minimum. I am sold. Bought 2 sets in case I lost one. No need to spend lots of money on fancy plugs when these work well and are comfortable. Well worth the purchase.

great ear plugs to usr around town. Takes enough wind and noise away to feel comfotable. Longer highway trips I use the nrr-26. I wear the windtamer on short slower rides. Great product good fit and comfortable. Fell like the are not in your ear. I wear a half helmet they do there job.

November 12, 2011
I have very tiny ear canals, and I have an inner conch piercing (inside the curve of the ear), so buying ear plugs can be very difficult. Even with the helmet on, these plugs are comfortable. I can comfortably hear people talking to me with the plugs in and the a full face helmet on, but once I get on the road, they block wind fairly well. The noise reduction is not perfect, but it's the best I've found :-) I've been using them since 2008. I lost them somehow, though :( I purchased a pack of 3, and if I don't find the other two pairs soon, I'm going to place another order. These are, without a doubt, the best ear plugs I've ever used!

Good, but as previously mentioned in other reviews, highway noise is still an issue, however around town they are excellent. I can hear my music which was not possible with those little foam plugs, but wind noise is still loud (although not as loud as without them) Comfortable even after several hours of wearing. My wife has small ears and they fit fine for her

This are pretty good, but not great. I don't think they would offer enough protection for longer highway rides, but for a half an hour or so, they are fine. Great for around town and highway commuting. They allow more ambient sound to be heard, but seem to reduce the harsh wind noise. They also seem to let your ears breathe more than disposables.

March 7, 2011
The product is good quality, but the reduction was not enough for me. The fit is nice, but may be too small for larger canals. I'll probably take out the Hock's and place them into a different pair of reusable plugs.

Great fit and variable noise reduction. Best use is around town in traffic. Very comfortable and stay seated nicely. I also bought a pair of Silent Ear plugs that offer more noise reduction at highway speeds. I recommend both!
