Title: Flare Audio Ear Plugs
Post by: MOzZereLLa on April 04, 2019, 09:26:02 PM
Anyone use them for riding? Any good? Effective?

Look pretty interesting (for earplugs).

I've got some.  They are very good, but not as effective as my custom moulded ones.
Can't verify the pseudo-science stuff about frequencies but as something between custom-moulded and disposable you could do a lot worse.

I quite like the idea of them. I find expandable plugs uncomfortable after a while and the custom ones so had made donkeys ago were never as good expandables.

They are still sort of expandable, just better quality foam a bit like good in-ear headphones.  You get the aluminium body and three sizes of foam.  To put them in you still roll the foam then it expands in your ear canal.  Worth giving a go.
