How well do these work to reduce wind noise on a motorcycle at freeway speeds?

I would imagine if they are well enough seated to not work themselves out that they would do fine. I work in healthcare and my patients depend on me and my stethoscope. I wore them to a rather loud rock concert with pyrotechnics and etc etc...had no post-concert ringing/issues yet was still able to hear the music and enjoy it.

That is what I use them for, they work quite well, and are easy to insert and remove.I have worn them all day without irritation.

Almost none!! Maybe a 15% reduction. So, don't buy them for any noise reduction. They are worthless!!

works great. but it cuts out the audio if you're in really windy conditions. i.e can't listen to audio files while riding a motorcycle

I have had these for a couple months now and I love them. As far as canceling out noise, they do a pretty good job at it. I take public transit like the bus/BART and for the most part it blocks most, if not all, when the volume is about half way. I am certain they would perform well on a plane.

Absolutely yes. I ride a road bike on Houston city streets in the early morning with these on listening to podcasts. I hear vehicles coming from behind without any difficulty. These do a good job for voice. For music the low and mid range is not good and you don't get the great sound fidelity of some other in ear plugs. But for my podcasts they are spot on. I do not feel unsafe with them while bike riding.

The noise reduction works fairly well, I'd say you hear 50% less noise if you put them on.

Hey Theresa. These won't do anything to reduce noise. I'd advise you look for something else.

I did it quite a bit. They work well but they are only ok at noise isolation so you will get some background noise.

I haven't tried them on a motorcycle, if you drive a Honda you can probably hear them, if you drive a Harley, you will not hear them

I find that they do reduce noise, and of course, the higher the volume you use, the less outside noise you hear

Since no one else mentioned it, the cord on these earplugs amplifies the wind noise. It sounds like the wind howling outside a window but inside your head. They work fine for me inside a shop but I think it would be annoying if you used them for outside activities, especially riding.

Sorry Tom, can't say we've used them on the motorcycles yet. We rode our bicycles threw a windstorm in the dessert (they were for burning man) and they worked great with no fogging or sand! Hope that helps.

It is considerably less loud than riding without a helmet, but it is far from perfect...air can whistle in through the cracks if you go freeway speeds

If the noise is in low to mid frequency range then these work well. You will still hear high frequencies but muted some.

I bought them for concerts and riding my motorcycle. They the sound in without sounding muffled. For me they do not reduce noise enough for sleeping. I use foam ear plugs for that.

No way. With the wind noise and weakness of a signal it does not work at all for motorcycle riding. Get a helmet headset!

They are not very quiet. It's a four stroke so not as annoying as a two stroke but the muffler is not much of a muffler. You need hearing protection if you are standing right next to it.
