Review Credibility: Very Good Motorcycle enthusiast Ian Johnston rates 13 brands of earplugs according to four criteria: packaging, expansion speed, pressure and comfort. He does not rate them on noise reduction, saying that they are all well-rated plugs for noise reduction, and comfort is more important for users. His top-rated brand is Moldex Pura-Fit because it comes in individual packages and is comfortable. He also likes the length of these earplugs because it helps him to place them deeper for a better seal. Despite the Pura-Fit topping his ranking system, his personal choice is the Howard Leight Max.

Howard Leight Max is the number one pick, and Moldex Pura-Fit comes in eighth. He had a difficult time inserting the Pura-Fit earplugs because of a combination of their length and softness. He notes that he didn't thoroughly evaluate these earplugs, as it was raining at the time.

He evaluates the earplugs based on effectiveness, size, comfort and ease of insertion. His earplugs of choice are the Moldex Pura-Fit because they are comfortable, fairly easy to insert and "do an excellent job of controlling noise."
