I voted yes/yes, but I'd love to be able to properly hear the loud pipes. I only wear them because of the wind noise.
I'll do short rides without plugs in, so I can listen properly to the bike and make sure there's no new rattles/noises I can't hear when the plugs are in.
I'm currently wearing a Shark Skwal, which is supposedly designed to be quieter. I didn't think it was that good, over the previous HJC IS-11, but maybe that one was quiet too? I would advise against the Skwal though, the visor has a tendency to snap when you remove it for cleaning ;(
