Active listening earbuds

This looks interesting. Sounds like they can be tuned to filter out specific noise. I'd be interested if they work...

A bit of research shows they won't be available until December.
But I did find these very interesting and am waiting for a response from the mfg as to their effectiveness for motorcycling before I order.

The Dubs only have a Noise Reduction Rating of 12 dB. Standard foam earplugs like the ones from Cooper have a NRR of 33dB. That's a HUGE difference. We deal with dB ratings between 80 and 103 depending on the bike and the wind noise from our speed. I'm not comfortable with the minimal reduction from the Dubs to wear them riding.

Good point. I agree.
