Great custom made earplugs

ultimate were recommended by several of my bike friends and I finally bit the bullet at the Motorcycle Live show and had my ear impressions taken then.
Funnily enough,one of my ears didn’t want to cooperate, so the foam needed to be injected 3 or 4 times before the guys were happy with it.
I’m so glad that the whole process was supervised by professional crew. The earplugs turned up a couple of weeks after the show.
They are softer than another brand I used previously, which makes them better for my ears and I can put the helmet on without the fear of hurting my ears or my head.
Riding for extended periods of time isn’t an issue either.

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.

From placing my initial order

From placing my initial order, all the way through to receiving my ear plugs the sales assistant has been, accurate, and very helpful. They were delivered much earlier than planned, and back since receiving them has been great with all of my questions answered .

Great plugs for swimming

Great plugs for swimming and showering with vulnerable ears. I've got both ears having had major surgery in the past, (namely a mastoidectomy and a TORP). My consultant advised silicone earplugs as a matter of urgency as I've started using the swimming pool again.
I've already reported how easy it was to get the plugs but after a couple of months I am delighted to say wearing them has become a habit I don't really think about when swimming or showering. I just feel well protected.

This is my 2nd set of plugs from UE

This is my 2nd set of plugs from UE. Went with the soundear pro Bluetooth ones and very pleased once again.

Top quality and these have bit more meat on them and feel very sturdy.

Ordered on 28/02/26 and had them delivered on 12/03/26, less than 2 weeks is brilliant turnaround and service. Very pleased with these guys and will continue to use when needed and recommend to any other biker.

Good for sleeping

Got the sleeping ones.

Quick turnaround, good fit, very comfortable, easy to clean, somewhat breathable. Would recommend!

My favourite from happy ears, loop sleep, 3M, foldable silicone and foldable wax.

Would note you need to pay for an ear impression. £40 for me.

Ultimate Service is good

Moulds were made by Ultimate, it was quick and easy and they now have the digital data. They kept me updated on progress with production. They produced the items in time for thrm to be used at the weekend. Ideal

Excellent service

Excellent service. Ultimate Ear Protection quickly arranged for ear impressions to be made local to me. When I posted off the impressions to Ultimate Ear they emailed to confirm receipt and then around 10 days later the plugs arrived.
Quality looks good and sound quality is excellent. Warning: Turn your headset right down before plugging in as they are very loud (painfully!).
My only negative is that after a couple of hours with my helmet on I can feel pressure on my ears which becomes painful as time progresses. Removing my helmet and plugs after more than two hours is quite painful. I need to experiment with changing the padding within my helmet.

Comfy…

Fast turnaround and easy to follow instructions for manufacturer. Really comfortable fit, not tried them on the bike yet but I did put my headphones on over the top and turned it up to 11 so seems effective.
