Rsoft FX) are the ones, they're basically identical, seem to fit and block out a bunch of noise. The closed cell foam is way more effective than the cylindrical E.A.R. ones I had been using. Sorted. Thanks for the input gents.
Hope it works out well.

It is a relief to hear (pun intended) that I am not alone with this problem. I will not shove anything into my ears as I fear the consequences - I have suffered pain and almost total deafness in the past.
I do buy a decent helmet though. Currently own a Shoei Neotec flip lid, it is a little noisier than my previous Shoei full face lid but the wind noise is at an acceptable level. I once bought a Caberg flip lid and used it for a 400 mile trip, what a horrible experience. If I could have bought another helmet that weekend I would have thrown the Caberg away there and then.
