Products and configurations to compare
EarPeace Moto
Three filter sets included.
Best when: you want several filter strengths
Watch for: two-cone fit may not suit every ear
EarPeace Moto PRO 20dB
Premium contour fit.
Best when: you use communications extensively
Watch for: less attenuation than 24 dB version
EarPeace Moto PRO 24dB
Stronger PRO filter option.
Best when: highway wind dominates long rides
Watch for: may reduce more environmental sound
Moto lets you discover preference
Try several filter levels before committing.
Moto PRO changes both filter and earplug shape
It is not merely a higher-number version of Moto.
Long rides expose fit problems
Pressure discomfort matters as much as attenuation.
Speaker placement stays important
Earplugs should not force intercom volume to maximum.
Replace damaged plugs
Reusable does not mean permanent.
Wind noise is the main hearing problem
A quiet helmet helps, but highway airflow can still be loud enough to cause fatigue and hearing risk over time. Filtered motorcycle earplugs reduce wind noise while preserving more speech, intercom and traffic awareness than simple solid plugs. Fit matters more than brand: a partially sealed earplug can provide far less attenuation than the rating suggests.
EarPeace's current Moto line uses interchangeable 17, 20 and 26 dB SNR filters, while Moto PRO offers 20 or 24 dB SNR versions. Those are useful current examples of choosing attenuation around ride length and communication needs rather than simply buying the highest number.
Intercom volume is not hearing protection
Turning speakers louder to overpower wind can increase listening fatigue. Properly fitted earplugs often make intercom audio clearer because they reduce broadband wind noise first. Set communication volume only high enough to remain intelligible.
Before checkout
- Accessory is explicitly compatible with the exact helmet model
- Nothing compromises shell, EPS, retention strap or emergency-release hardware
- Visor or Pinlock part number matches the exact shield
- Speaker/mic placement creates no pressure points
- Camera mount does not block vents or visor travel
- Tint remains legal and usable for expected light conditions
- Cleaning product is safe for visor coatings and shell material
- Storage allows helmet to dry before sealing it in a bag
- Replacement pads/liners are OEM or verified compatible
- Accessory improves a repeated riding problem rather than adding clutter
The accessory must not weaken the helmet
A motorcycle helmet is protective equipment first. Every speaker, mount, adhesive, camera, replacement pad and visor should work around the certified structure rather than forcing the structure to adapt to the accessory. Avoid drilling the shell, cutting EPS, blocking emergency tabs or routing hard objects where they can create pressure points against the head.
Compatibility names can also be misleading. “58 mm” style near-standards from other industries do not really exist here: visor geometry, cheek-pad snaps, speaker pockets and shell generations are usually model-specific. Exact part number beats visual similarity.
First-ride test
Test new helmet gear on a short familiar ride. Confirm the visor seals and locks, speakers do not press the ears, the communicator can be operated without looking down, the camera creates no distracting drag, and earplugs remain comfortable after thirty minutes. Stop and fix pressure or visibility issues rather than assuming you will “get used to it.”
After the ride, inspect mounts and cables, dry anything damp, and check that nothing shifted inside the liner. Good helmet accessories should become almost invisible once the ride starts.
Frequently asked questions

Moto includes up to 26 dB SNR; Moto PRO offers 20 or 24 dB SNR in the standard current product.
Which is better for comms?
Moto PRO 20 dB is explicitly positioned for communication-heavy use.
Which has more sizes?
Current packages differ; check the product contents for your market.
Can I wash them?
EarPeace provides cleaning guidance; remove filters before submerging the silicone earplug.
