Just curious if anyone uses earplugs when ryding.

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

yes I use mine all the time. I got a custom set made from custom protect ear and plug my I-pod and its quiet. They are not cheap but best ear plugs I have used by far.

How much is 'Not Cheap' if you don't mind me asking.

without the ipod connection you are looking at $100 but they will last you. They came to my office to get the impressions and I had my own set within a week, custom made to your shape and size.

Always! Ok, except for short runs in town. Other than that, ALWAYS!! 40 years of not doing so (plus various power tool sounds) have a certain ring (in my ears). We use the custom ones from NowHearThis at www.plugup.com.

We have the BRP communication headsets. I have not tried using earplugs with the headsets. Does anyone use earplugs with a headset and still be able to hear eachother and music?

I found when we had headsets instead of earbuds that surprisingly, I could hear the music or voice through the headset even better when I had earplugs in. Now I use noise canceling earbuds and I love them.

I guess I'm on the opposite end of the stick again. I personally don't want anything in my ears when riding/biking/jogging, or anything else that requires "awareness of surroundings". It's a personal preference of mine and not meant to cast any aspersions on others' preferences.

I agree with mouthpiece but I don't do any long trips.

I always wear foam earplugs and can hear my wife talking via my Sena SMH-10 helmet communicator just fine through the foam plugs.

We use the BigEar custom earplugs. www.bigearinc.com No speakers in ours...just plain earplugs. I have very tiny earholes, and I never had good success with standard earplugs.

I use these custom molded ear plugs that cost next to nothing. They mold to your ear everytime I put them in.:2thumbs: http://earplugsonline.com/

Well, it's not a question of 'if' you'll have hearing loss, it's a question of 'when'...
Again, personal preference though...
