    Chris Griffiths emerged from their own little world to say

    If you can't be botheres to faff about on Ebay then order some from
    http://earplugs.gb.com/motorcyclists.htm

    I used to use EAR Classics which are no longer made [1]. I ordered some EAR
    Neons from the above which are much better. 11p a pair if you order a box
    of 250. They are re-useable but at that price I treat them as disposable.


    [1] replaced by Classic Soft

    Chris Griffiths expressed the following:
    Why re-useable?

    I got 400 pairs of ear plugs for ukp 40.60 from this lot (including
    postage) = 10.15p ea [1]. That'd last you over a year at the rate of one
    pair a day and you'd have a lot less chance of getting a nasty ear
    infection.

  8. That link above sounds the best bet I like the look of the Max-Lite Ear
    Plug(200pr) - £14.80. the ones I have been taking from work are the classics
    and there not very hygenic

  10. It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
    Ditto. 200pairs of 3M 1100 range for about the same plus postage. I find
    them much better and more comfy than the EAR yellow ones. Re-usable too,
    after a trip to the washing machine.

  13. I bought some corded ones on eBay a while ago; not because they were
    corded but because the SNR was high. I do concur they are the quietest
    plugs I've ever worn even if they are uncomfortable for long periods.[1]

    [1] They're bloody monstrous and they're either in or out; falling out
    of your lug 'oles or pressing against your ear drum.
