I have used many types of plugs over the years and these work best for me hands down. If you prefer ear muffs the STIHL ones work really well.https://www.earplugstore.com/eclsu3bof200.html
I know, let me have it. I like the headband to fit behind my head so I can wear that ugly hat Tom showed us last year. The combination works fantastically.
I've got 5 brands, all of which now sit in their original product delivery boxes all cleaned up awaiting someone to come by needing a set of hearing cups.
If money is no object and you also shoot guns or something "active" hearing protectors are great. I had a set of Peltor's years ago that had AM/FM radio, auxiliary input and active hearing protection. They have stereo microphones and actually amplify quiet noises and electronically cancel loud ones. So you can operate power equipment and still hear background noise. Great for working out by the road or communicating with others while still wearing them. Some can be equipped with microphones for 2 way radio use and/or phone calls. I usually use the WorkTunes but upgraded to the bluetooth unit this season. The active units are just too expensive to justify starting at around $200.

My riders are twin cylinders and I like to hear the engines run. I use the yellow cheap foam plug inserts but I tear one in half, insert them in the outer part of my ear canals, not rolling it up and sticking it way down in. Muffles the sound just right and is comfortable to me. Those big muffs seem to raise my body temp about 25 degrees on a muggy hot summer day, just don't like them.
