Delivery & Lead Time

Our standard lead time is approximately 3 weeks from receipt of your ear impressions, but this can be up to 4 weeks during very busy periods.

We also offer a 4 working day express turnaround for an additional £50, if you need your order urgently. This is 4 working days from receipt of your ear impressions to despatch of your order.

We use a next day tracked Royal Mail service for all U.K orders except for some accessories which are sent using Royal Mail 48.

International orders are posted via courier. If you have any specific requests regarding the courier company you’d like us to use, please contact us.
Adjustments & Returns

If you receive your earplugs and are unhappy with the fit or comfort, simply let us know within 30 days of receiving your order and we can make the necessary adjustments free of charge.

If we are unable to rectify the issue after 2 adjustments, we can manufacture a new set of earplugs free of charge, if you supply a new set of ear impressions.

We unfortunately do not offer refunds as all our products are completely bespoke.
Ear Impressions & Ordering Process

If you require ear impressions, simply select ‘arrange an appointment for me’ when ordering above.

Once you have placed an order with us our team will be in touch to organise your ear impression appointment at one of our impression taking partners.

We have over 300 UK ear impression taking locations across the UK (£30 to £50) or you can visit us at our offices in Petts Wood, Kent (£30) or at one of our events.

We can now also offer a home visit service (£50) upon special request. This may be helpful if you are looking for swimming earplugs for your children, as lots of audiology clinics do not offer impressions for those aged 18 or under.

The Motorcyclist Bluetooth SoundEar is designed for riders who want effective motorcycle hearing protection whilst streaming audio from their smartphone or SatNav.

Unlike intercom padded speakers these Bluetooth motorcycle earplugs provide essential hearing protection by reducing wind noise and engine noise, helping to prevent fatigue and long-term hearing damage. Furthermore, they deliver audio directly into the ear, offering clearer sound at lower volumes compared to traditional helmet audio setups.

This product will pair directly to your smartphone (or SatNav depending on the model), allowing you to listen to music, podcasts or hear directions clearly whilst riding.

Each pair is custom-made from soft, medical-grade silicone, ensuring a secure, low-profile fit that sits comfortably under any helmet. Ideal for commuting or solo riding, they provide a streamlined, all-in-one solution for motorbike audio and hearing protection.

If you're searching for motorcycle earplugs with Bluetooth audio for phone connectivity, this is the perfect solution for simple, effective riding audio.

Please note, this product does contain a microphone, but it isn't designed for answering phone calls on the bike. The core purpose of this product is to protect your hearing whilst allowing you to listen to music, podcasts or directions whilst riding, all in a Bluetooth setup.

Material

Unique to Ultimate and our SoundEar range, these earplugs are constructed of two different compounds of silicone. We utilise a 40-shore silicone for the main body of the earplugs, combining comfort with adequate strength in order to protect and secure the main components within the earplugs. The ear canal section is manufactured using a clear ultra-soft 25-shore silicone earplug to provide unmatched comfort and flexibility for genuine sustained use.

How does the process work with ordering and obtaining ear impressions?

You can place an order online, over the phone (by calling us on 01689 876885) or by visiting us at one of the events which we attend.

If you are placing an order online and you do not have ear impressions already, simply select ‘arrange an appointment for me’ under the ear impressions option.

Our team will then be in touch to organise an ear impression appointment for you at one of our 300+ partner ear impression taking locations (additional cost of approximately £40 payable directly to the audiologist).

If you already ordered from us previously (since the start of January 2022) we will have your ear impressions on file (digital copy) and there is no need to post your physical impressions back into us. Simply select ‘I already have ear impressions’ when ordering online and we will match your order details to your existing ear impressions (via your name and email/phone number) which we have on file.

What is the lifespan of your earplugs?

We recommend replacing all of our earplugs with new impressions every 5 years due to the human ear growing and changing shape within this timeframe.

Our SoundEar range is fully serviceable and repairable so if any components fail within this timeframe we can offer a repair service.

Can I still hear traffic and important sounds whilst wearing your earplugs?

Yes, our custom motorcycling earplugs are designed to reduce excessive wind noise rather completely isolate you from your surroundings.

Most riders can still hear:

Traffic
Sirens
Engine feedback

What is the difference between the SoundEar and the SoundEar Pro?

The Pro version benefits from dual balanced armature drivers rather than a single balanced armature speaker (as per the standard SoundEar), resulting in a far punchier bass and a more detailed listening experience overall.

The attenuation, materials and cable design is the same for both models.

Is your SoundEar range serviceable and repairable?

Yes, we offer a 1-year warranty (against any manufacturing faults) but we also offer a repair service outside of this period.

In many cases we can replace individual components such as a speaker or the cable.

If a repair is not economical, we will always offer a discount on a completely new set.

Great product and customer service

The whole experience from placing my order, to arranging the appointment for ear impressions to the delivery of the product was second to none. I have been using the earplugs this last week and the performance is superb and having chosen the Bluetooth option, I am also enjoying listening to the radio on longer journeys. Very happy thank you

I was so happy with my original pair that I became a return customer after 15 years

I was so happy with my original pair that I became a return customer after 15 years (I only needed a new set because I lost the first ones!). The Bluetooth option I purchased this time is brilliant for listening to music and satnav guidance while on the move. Crucially, they cut the wind and engine noise while still allowing you to hear sirens, horns, and conversations. I highly recommend these - they are the best hearing investment a rider can make
