Winning both the budget and the overall top spot in our recent ear plug shoot-out challenge, the Oxford Moldex are in my opinion the best you can buy, I know there are better but I wouldn’t want to spend £30 on some ear plugs and loose them the next time I go out on the bike, and what’s more, for the price you get two pairs.
I remember buying my first set, I was at a biker shop near Leeds, I think the colour drew me in, but the were if I am remembering correctly £4 back then. I have owned countless sets of these and even some cheaper alternatives, however it is the Moldex that I carry in my tank bag and take away where ever I go.
