I have tried Pinlock earplugs and Alpine earplugs, I like yours the best. They earplugs themselves came with a bit of dust on them (noticeable on red and orange, the black ones did not have dust on them or it was just hardly visible) which did not look nice when unpacking, considering the cleaner is included I would say it's no big deal. They fit my ear canals really well. I have a modular flip-up Schuberth helmet and a Shoei integral full-face helmet on a slightly leaned forward sports tourer, the '02 VFR 800 with a "touring windscreen" (means: wind hits me directly in the face, it's atrocious) and they reduce wind noise by a fair amount. I can not speak to intercom use. I gave two away as a gift, to my dad and to my girlfriend, no complaints. All in all: thank you!
