Motorcycling is one of those activities where ear plugs are essential. Even with a helmet on, the wind-noise created at high speeds can be deafening—not to mention a huge distraction while trying to ride safely.
Finding the right hearing protection for motorcycling can be tricky. You need something comfortable under a helmet, with strong noise reduction (because wind-noise can be LOUD), and ideally, something reusable so you're not constantly buying foam plugs.
Luckily, we’ve compiled this list of the best ear plugs for motorcycling. Each has been designed with motorsports in mind, so you know you’re getting the real deal.
Everything here reduces noise—but if you want to block noise and listen to music while riding, check out the ISOtunes Pro 2.0.
1. Alpine Motosafe PRO
Alpine has years of experience designing motorcycle-specific ear plugs. The Motosafe PRO includes two sets: one for high-speed tracks, the other for touring. Comfortable, long-lasting, and with the flexibility of interchangeable protection levels, this is our top pick.
2. ER20XS Ear Plugs
Based on their bestselling music plugs, the ER20XS offer a low-profile fit perfect for under-helmet use. Three tip options ensure a secure seal, and the filters reduce wind-noise without silencing important sounds like traffic or horns.
3. Earasers Motorcycling Ear Plugs
Renowned for their comfort and clarity, Earasers offer a snug fit and excellent sound quality. A small pull tab makes them easy to remove, and they're ideal for riders who need clear audio while reducing wind interference.
4. Earjobs DIY Custom Moulded Ear Plugs
Great for budget-conscious riders or anyone who struggles with generic fits. These mould to your ear's shape, ensuring a perfect fit under your helmet. Just be careful not to overfill during the moulding process.
5. Alpine Motosafe Race
Single-pair version of the Motosafe range. It offers the same Alpine comfort and performance at a more affordable price. If you're after lighter attenuation, the Motosafe Tour is also worth checking out.
