Maybe not. Just re-read it and it's 20 pairs (or 40 plugs). Cheeky bastards.

I used to use foam ear plugs but got professionally moulded ear plugs made up 6 years ago by Ultimate Ear. The difference was incredible!!

I ride nearly every day - I commute to work on the bike using "blank" plugs and I ride as part of my job with plugs that accomodate my comms/music. With this amount of riding, I want decent protection.

3 years after my first pair were made up I went in for another fitting. My ears had changed but the new plugs weren't made correctly. This was rectified free of charge and another pair were made up and received within a week.

Just had my latest "work" moulds done and they've changed again. The difference was noticable immediately - the new ones feel tighter and the noise, especially wind at higher speeds, has significantly reduced. So I'm getting a new set of blanks made up too.

Whilst some of you say that "these are only £XXX per pair/hundred of pairs" etc and are more worried about price than your hearing, that's fine if you only ride a few weekends a year. But for someone riding a lot, spend a few extra quid and keep your hearing

Have you tried all foam plugs? There is a big difference from brand to brand in how they feel and how much sound they block out.

What sort of SNR numbers to the custom jobs claim? Just checked - nowhere near the better foam plugs that are available however I'd be interested to know if you'd tried the EAR Soft FX foam plugs? If the custom one's you use are that much better than the FX's then I'd seriously look at a set ...........

Not sure how you came to that conclusion from what's been posted?

I got some done last year by these muppets, they used the wrong material for the plugs so they were worse than useless. Took 3 months for them to arrive because 'they had a lot of orders at the show', then when I complained that they didn't work they wouldn't return my calls or emails and when I did speak to someone (usually the receptionist) they told me that the managers were 'too busy' to speak to people.

Worse customer service than Ryanair - fucktards.

Wasn't impressed with the pin lock ones I posted up. Absolutely useless on track, just have well not put them in. Don't know if road use would be ok.
I reverted back to the Orange type I got from work.
