I have tried out many different brands before I came across Alpine. I agree they are the best and I have given them as gifts to friends who didn't wear ear protection and they are now converts. I always carry a spare set as well and I like that they have a carry pouch which I attach to my keys. Great review.

Thank you. Just what I needed.

I just ordered a pair of the Alpines. Thanks for the video!

Great video, thank you for taking the time to research and test the different earplugs for us

Awesome review. ThNk you!!🎉🎉🎉

Great review thank you

Great video idea thank you!

Earplugs come down to personal preference. I wore EAR Classics for 30 years and still use them today (quit riding) when I REALLY need to sleep.

Totally agree I bought the last three but stick with alpine motosafe. Great video.

Have you also tested the Tour version of the alpine earplugs? How does it compare to the race version?

Most important with ear protection is to save your hearing over longer term. Not "comfort", as long time as ear protecten not giving "damage" on skin while driving. I always prefer ear protection wich gives me "most" noice redaction at all Hetz, not only higher og lower decibel (dB). Good video 🤝 Good luck ✨️ With best regards Leo

I’ve tried at least as many as you had on display plus two pair of custom made ones from two different brands. Of course as with windscreens and helmet fit this is going to be always subjective. I must have a weird left ear shape as a lot of earplugs have had the tendency to get « loose » in that ear which is very annoying when it’s in the midst of a highway stint and you cannot stop at the roadside to try to fit them in again. This is why I gave up on the custom made ones, they work fine at night (my wife snoors) but they tend to get « loose » in the helmet after a while. I’m very happy with the Alpines, the problem is that I loose the pin to fit them into the ear and without it, it’s much harder to get a seal. Recently I tried the Dezibulls (which you mold to the shape of your ears) it was a complete disaster, they didn’t work at all and hurt under the helmet. Recently I watched a rider talking about earplugs (Nowher Fast ADV) and, bingo! The ones he recommended, not even really ment for riding, have been the best so far for me. They are called Loops Quiet and they’re easy to fit, they are comfortable to wear, they seal so far, maybe there are others which are quieter but on the whole ,maybe I’ve finally found earplugs I will stick with. Cheers

Yep, my experience too. I was so excited about the Alpine, but had to return them. If I have to guard one more little thing in my pre-ride prep as flimsy and easy to lose as this little insert pin, I'll go bananas. I was a bit muffed that Alpine doesn't really allude to the fact that you absolutely need the insert tool to make them work. Thanks for your feedback.

@@oliverhanisch1966 Feedback after two months. The Loops didn’t really work except for very short trips. They don’t stay put either. Back to square one. I’ve settled now for disposable earplugs (the T-shaped ones) for longer highway work, they are not as comfortable but seal well if you insert them carefully and for other kind of riding Alpine pro plugs, hopefully not loosing the little tube for inserting them, they’re more comfortable but filter less noise but away from the highway and the wind noise they’re more than enough.

Me, I'd look at the SNR or NNR and use the one with the highest rating. The laser Lites are the one for me but no matter what, use any ear protection because once your hearing is damaged it it damaged for ever.

I agree they are a good ear plug, tried a different one recently after they wore out and I have to stop all the time and reinstall them a real pain in the neck. Like they use that plastic tool to install them in your ear it makes them easy to get in. Will definitely use your code to get another pair.👍

That plastic tool is really nice, isn’t it? The earplug is super soft and flexible, but that tool makes it real easy to get it in perfectly straight. And glad I can help get you another pair!

Not good in hot and humid weather as they keep slipping out.

Earpeace were a joke for me. I pulled off the road within 5 miles and threw them in the ditch. The didn't fit well & didn't really muffle anything. The Decibulz work the best for me so far. I need to try the Alpine I guess.

Alpine are terrible. The quality is pretty bad for the price and the comfort is sub par.

They have "race, tour, Moto gp, and pro" alpine motosafe models. Which ones are the best?

Tour: Mainly low speed driving Race: Mainly high speed driving Pro: This is just a set of both Tour+Race Plugs Moto GP: bet you won't fit them under your helmet, those are meant for crew or audience Have the Pro set and still unsure if I'm better off with the tour or race plug, country roads are more fun anyway, but the times I'm driving on the autobahn, I couldn't really pinpoint which one is better, strangely I'm leaning towards the tour plugs. Seems that I'm not driving fast enough to have real benefits of those race plugs, usually not really faster than 100mph/160kph , but steady is more like 70-85mph/110-130kph. Driving a naked bike without any windshield and at least at this moment a modular helmet (hjc rpha91) , but will use a much lighter full face soon. Edit: oh just forgot something, not sure, but at least on the "pro set" you'll get an insert-tool which is really helpful getting the plugs where they belong, just using the fingers wont get them deep enough.

I bought the Alpines and didn't like them at all. But for a different reason. You need an insertion tool to put them in properly (or they wouldn't attenuate enough) and twice in a row, I could not get one side back out, as the little dongle to pull them out, was simply not reachable. I had to use tweezers. I rode them, they weren't bad, but I didn't ride them long enough to really have an opinion about them. The fact to having to insert the plug into the insert tool, then screw them into the ear, and pay attention to not losing the little insertion tool as part of the pre-ride preparation, made these an absolute no-no. I wish you would have mentioned motorcycle earbuds, or in ear monitors, as they might actually be the golden middle to also deliver clear speech and music, I haven't tried any yet, so I don't know if they can replace good earplugs. Other than that, I have been riding for 40 years with foam earplugs and am finally ready to upgrade, as I am getting annoyed not being able to talk in stores for instance with the helmet on, as I now have a double D ring chin strap and don't want to fiddle with it just to buy groceries or whatever. Great review though, I enjoyed your input, your effort to test these, great work. I hope that people find it less annoying to insert the Alpines and to get them out again.

well I'd love to use your code but they're already sold out

I’ll check in with them! I’ll get back to you ASAP and hope they restock before the 9th. Hang tight.

You spend time to make this video which is a thing….but offering a discount code……looks like a “subscription” that everyone is doing these days.

Thought the same thing when I saw the description. Take away is that the runner up EarPeace is probably the best. I have the Loop plugs and they’re nice but work themselves out while riding.
