Pinlock Earplugs with case

Simply not effective - don’t take the risk

These earplugs are so difficult to properly fit and remain fitted when putting your helmet on that I don’t believe they are fit for purpose and should be withdrawn. I’m back from a ride tonight and have clearly suffered damage to my hearing despite wearing the pinlock plugs. I’m hoping the hissing sound I’m currently suffering subsides by morning. In my opinion, it’s simply not worth risking your hearing with this product.

Waste of money.

Bought these to see if they work better than the throw away expandable foam ones which I’ve used previously to good effect. Unfortunately these are quite a let down, firstly it’s takes a bit of time to get them sealed into the ear canals, putting your helmet on then breaks that seal and you have to start all over again, I’ve tried both sizes and neither seem to give a snug cosy fit. Save your money & Stick to the disposable bullet style foam earplugs that seal the entire canal without compromising engine noise or voices.

Excellent

Once you get used to how they fit they are one of the best earplugs I've used. Block out the wind noise but lets me have a conversation on the intercom. Foam earplugs block out to much noise and make you feel isolated, these are just about right. They come with 2 set of plugs for a more custom fit. The carry case in principle is a good idea but its too big to carry in your pocket.

Very good product

To start, the customer service in the Glasgow is very friendly and welcoming, so if you're in Glasgow I'd recommend them. The ear plugs are very comfortable and effective for using whilst riding. Once they're in, you forget about them, meaning they won't distract you with any discomforts. I do sort of wish that they used the large amount of packaging to supply you with a storage keyring though, because let's be honest, you're only ever going to use 1 pair, the other pair becomes redundant, (maybe offer a large/small set separately?) and the storage box is quite big and bulky which is a slight inconvenience, but still tolerable. The important thing is that the earplugs are great. That's what really matters.

Nice fit, easy to use.

Very comfortable, easy to fit and remove. Not as effective as the similar product by Alpine at blocking noise which I find just right. Foam earplugs block too much sound. The storage box is rather bulky in the pocket but does the job. You are paying for two pairs; I doubt many people could use both, so one pair would be wasted.

Used lots of earplugs, these are the best.

These earplugs specifically seem to block the really loud frequencies, like tyre and wind noise, leaving most of the rest of the sound plenty audible. Great for my comms kit when I'm touring with my pillion. I don't need to crank the kit up to max to hear my partner at "motorway speeds". Foam ones block everything, so sound is mushy and rubbish, the moulded earplugs come out when you talk, because of moving in-ear bones, these are perfect. Only issue is they're easy to lose! Keep them in the case and you should be fine.

Fantastic

My main reason for choosing this product is so I could still listen to my Bluetooth system clearly without the harsh sounds from the bike and surroundings. Works great and very clear with phone calls, music, navigations. Fits comfortably every time, easy to clean and maintain.

Waste of money!

I have been using earplugs for nearly 20 years now & these are by far the worse! The first time I used them I thought I must not have fitted the correctly so tried a few different things. Still terrible! Apart from being uncomfortable they don't actually filter much noise at all. They actually seemed to amplify the wind noise! They came with a case which I thought would be handy as it is meant for your key too but my fireblade key didn't fit.
