Are these good for preventing hearing loss while operating a motorcycle at 75 mph?

If they fit you well, they may help. They do not fit my ear canals well, so I notice minimal noise reduction. My husband uses them on the tractor and says they work well for him.

Yes, I use them while wearing a helmet on a motorcycle. Best sound and fit, ever.

These should work for you. I use them while I run and I'm able to hear, as long as I don't crank up the volume too loud.

I don't believe there is any claim made. These are not "foolproof", and their effectiveness would be governed by correct or incorrect usage. These are primarily for sleeping - snoring of a partner, traffic, and the like, and are excellent for that use. I would not use them for gunfire, jet engines, or loud machinery. I use electronic muffs for these sounds.

I don't ride so I wouldn't know. The only issue I can think of is that the piece that you use to handle the earplug may rub against the helmet and that would be annoying. I use these when playing drums.. I cannot use them with headphones. I believe this piece is essential to the sound dampening so they cannot be removed.

They work well for running but not at high speeds. I've used it on my bike and get a lot of wind noise that drowns out the music. They work at the gym but not as well as the type that are earbuds.

I used velcro to attach them inside a 3/4 face motorcycle helmet with no problem. I've also found using a small Fiio headphone amplifier makes quite a difference in the quality of the sound.

They won't prevent you from hearing loud noises like say a motorcycle or truck when your out jogging,walking, etc (which may be a good thing) but they do a decent job of letting you hear the music with minimum interference. I think they are worth the price. You can spend more for better earbuds but if your looking for decent sound without high price they are worth the money.

I would think so, they muffle conversations, music and other noise but you can still hear them. You will still be able to hear the dogs but it won't be as loud. I used these on my motorcycle and they weren't good for constant wind bombardment, but they were great for a show/concert I went to.

The sound is not affected by speed except for the fact that you will observe increased wind noise. Just crank it up a bit louder - the sound quality is ok, it beats dealing with headphone wires fighting with your helmet and safer than wearing headphones too.

Yes, very good. Great hearing protection and it works fine while wearing eye protection also.

Will block voices at that distance, but will not completely block deeper sounds like explosions, revving engines, etc. unless you crank the music to really loud levels that might damage your hearing. Try good ear buds instead - they're better at blocking loud low frequency ambient noise.

I believe so... My husband owns a motorcycle & I ride with him sometimes & have worn them before. They stay in comfortably & you can still hear well enough.

Not likely. The ear pieces are designed to be attached to the inside of a helmet with Velcro. Even if you could somehow attache it to something that could hold it in place you would have problems hearing anything above 30 - 35 MPH.

that is a big NO! these are highly rated for their isolation from outside surounding noise due to their triple in ear canal silicon seal buds.beware if you are wearing them during driving...you will not hear honks or sirens. I wear these at 100db surroundings and they do much better than my mickey ears.

I use the SMH10 which uses similar ear speakers and mic. My bike is a softail standard with windshield. A lot of wind noise is more the issue then the loud pipes. My best results are obtained with a helmet that has a face shield. With that setup all functions were significantly better then usable. With the face shield up on the helmet then wind noise became the issue at hwy speeds.

From my experience, these earphones are fairly open. The vent at the back stops the sound from coming from "between the ears", so to speak. So I'm not sure they would be effective in a car travelling at 75 mph, but again, this is judging it purely based on my experience with the M5.
