I was skeptical about the product but what would it hurt to try something for $18?!? I got the motorcycle "Red" - 20db. They are soft and they have the push tool to insert them. YOU DON'T NEED TO PUSH THEM ALL THE WAY TO YOUR EAR DRUM! Insert and twist a little until the sound is dulled. I jumped on the highway with my Harley and was impressed. No wind was beating on my eardrums, but the tube and filters in the plugs allowed me to hear the tires of vehicles around me. It does mess with the music you listen to. It cuts out some sounds, but I was able to hear other sounds in songs that I never knew existed. I picked us distant sirens easily. If you have a windscreen on your bike, then I would actually recommend the "Black" tubed 18db ear plugs. If you have no windscreen, the "red" 20db. They removed easily and caused me no pain at all. I HIGHLY recommend!!
