Love the plugs! Honda motorcycles makes a tiny red folding earplugs case with the Honda logo. Comes with keychain so you can fasten it around the gearshift. Got mine at the MotoGP but probably available at Honda bike shops.

Yep I drive around with earplugs on long freeway drives. You only have one set of ears, once the sound goes you don't get it back.

Yes. Has very little effect. Like mentioned above, the earplugs are to block out wind noise. They do not render your ears useless.

Please check your local and state laws before putting earplugs in while you're driving a car.

I would be willing to bet that 99.999% of the states/cities say hell no.

Earplugs + motorcycle = a win in my books. Never considered them in a car though.

i usually drive with ear plugs cuz the car/wind is so loud. it's totally illegal in CA.

i feel like i can hear horns and other cars better with ear plugs because the road noise and wind is reduced.
