Flare Audio Isolate Earplugs

[andy tims]

Being a tinnitus sufferer, I'm thinking of trying some of these.

The reviews look good.

I bought a set over the winter but only used them the once so cant really comment as yet, weather permitting i will get more use out of them when i get back from work at the end of next week.

I also suffer from tinnitus , I use the throw away ones with no issues. I do have musicians ones when I go to gigs and they are really good , so much better than throw always .

Me too! All those years of riding bikes without helmets and later on wearing noisy ones without ear plugs I suppose. Always use ear plugs now though, even if the horse has bolted

My dad has them but hasn't used yet I was interested by at the NEC in 2014 I had custom plugs made and they're so quick and convinient compared to foam single use ones

Apologies for the thread resurrection. I bought the Isolate Pros on the recommendation of several of the guys I go touring with. ?50 quid for a pair of earplugs (or ?56 if you buy them direct from Flare, rather than from Amazon) ain't cheap, but when I managed to mislay them, I bought another pair.

When listening to music, I can generally hear the 'trebley' parts of a song clearly at over 110mph, whereas with disposable foam earplugs (which cost pennies a pair) it would often be difficult to identify the song playing if I was doing more than 90.

After a few months of use, I noticed that they were beginning to feel uncomfortable - and noticed that the rubber squishy bit (sorry if I am blinding you with science) had worn through from too much squishing, so I had to buy some more rubber squishy bits (?10 for 3 pairs)

I haven't tried the 'non-pro' Isolates - which are half the price, but I suspect that the difference between pro and non-pro is largely snake oil.

I got the flares back in Kickstarter days but found on longer journeys that they would start to hurt from being pressed by the helmet, switched to custom molded and bonus of Bluetooth and much happier.
