I have tried many different ear plugs over the years, never found one that was comfortable for long days touring. I have small ears and so most don't fit well, until I tried these

The most comfy ear plugs I ve tried, they're a bit fiddly to get in and had to wet them to get them into my ears. Very pleased with the level of comfort

 Good for small ears!

I struggle to hold in normal headphones for example. So that’s how I thought I would try the small ear bud. They hold in my ear well. And block out noise.

Absolutely amazed at how comfortable these feel in my small ear canals. Very effective noise reduction. Comfortable and don't drop out of my ears like disposable ones do.

 Effective and unobtrusive 
 14 Jul 2025 by Anonymous 
Bought these as an to protect my hearing but without muffling as much as the cheapy foam plugs. So far very pleased, good fit and very comfortable - the neck leash has a bit of stretch and squish and works well under a helmet, which was a nice surprise.
Also good that the plugs can be taken apart for cleaning, so (hopefully) they won't get minging with long-term use

After trying various types these work really well. Easy to push into ear and great wind noise reduction but allows the intercom sound in. Don t need to push in far and can be a little fiddly to get out.

Doesn't stop much background noise but good for wind noise in your helmet, still comfortable after a couple hours.

 Size Matters! 
 15 May 2025 by Chris 
The Oxford buds for me are a poor fit. They don't want to stay in my ears after a few minutes into any ride, thus provide no protection. I've tried different ways to fit them in to no avail.
I see they make a smaller version however, you're not going to know if they fit until you've purchased a set.

 Maybe my ears are a tad too big for these

When I wear my Bell Scout Air , wind noise is truly deafening once above about 30 mph...but plonk these in and although reduction in racket is very noticeable ,so works there ...they ALWAYS pop out when taking lid off...good job they tethered together

 Not for me 
 25 Apr 2025 by Ian 
I already have another brand of ear plugs that work reasonably well.
I got the Oxford ear plugs to try as a spare pair. The price is around what I would expect to pay and they seem decent quality.
I tried them out and found they wouldn’t stay in my ears and eventually worked themselves out.
For me I think the shape clearly doesn’t suit my ears.
I did buy the standard fit but maybe the smaller ones might work better for me.
In the time I had them in my ears they did seem to block out a reasonable amount of noise.
Maybe I will at some point buy the smaller size to try but this is the problem when buying such an item we are all different.

 Oxford ear plugs 
 21 Feb 2025 by Paul G 
These regular fit ear plugs feel a little small and so blocked out some of the wind noise but are no where near as effective as foam plugs. They do feel comfortable though. Because they are a clear plastic they were hard to find when I dropped them. The case is sturdy.

 Not too bad 
 12 Feb 2025 by Steven F 
I bought a couple of brands to try out. These Oxford Filterbuds & the Alpine Motosafe (Race) ones. I have reviewed these too.
The Oxford buds fit well and are fairly comfortable but I could feel them pushing, slightly more. The filter is larger than the Alpine ones. Not sure how much this would irritate or hurt the inner ear on a long ride.
As for wind reduction, they cut it out totally, up to 40 - 50mph then you start to hear the wind noise. ( I haven't gone any faster with them yet, but I presume the noise would be more prevalent).
they stay in perfectly well when you remove your helmet.
I can hear my engine & comms very well. I can also hear people talking to me, once off the bike.
They come in a solid little metal container, which is nice.
