Personally, I’ve used at least 30 different varieties of foam ear-plugs (whatever trackday organizer puts out at reg table). I think they all work well and similarly.
Big factor is installation expertise. I’ve gotten good at rolling them up and pulling my ear flap back with other hand from behind head. Then it goes all way in easily. I recognized that for many years, I was riding with one or both ear-plugs only inserted half-way.
Latest and greatest ear-plugs are gooey silicone ones my wife got me for shooting. They completely stop ALL noise from getting through. I can feel percussion of shots and what sound I hear is conducted through skull bones. On bike, they may be bit too quiet. I usually like to hear people coming up behind me at track so I can block them. Or car honks and stuff in traffic.
