Hey LEO..it's rare that you can find the right combination to combat wind/road/engine/exhaust noise, but congrats on finding it! I've never been able to, but now I know it can at least be done!
Worth a try, I think, as the fit depends on your ear canal or maybe your helmet. Skull Screws are my top favorite earplug. For me, they work better than Leights or Moldex or anything else I've tried. They change my ride to Serene and they don't hit the sides of my helmet.
Let us know dB. I bought a box of 100 after a couple of pair. Much cheaper that way.
Also, LEO, you may be able to cut wind noise with your setup, but you will still be subject to truck noise, air brakes, and a pretty loud highway scenario. Remember, unlike your first high school crush, tinnitus is forever. . .
I cured my tinnitus by never turning the music off or down
Yes , my set up does take care of noise that is created by wind on my helmet
When I hang over to one side letting the wind hit my helmet , I am amazed by the noise .
I know , I know , you guys like the naked thing going on .
I like the naked thing to a degree but I do not like wind , bugs , road debris hitting me
I've mentioned it elsewhere, but I bought some Nonoise Motorsport earplugs on a whim and they are now my preferred ear plugs on the bike. I can hear what is going on around me, but the wind and engine noise is dampened considerably. They fit well and are comfortable after many hours of riding. Two thumbs up!
