Agreed 100%...I believe earplugs are not necessary with good wind protection and an excellent helmet. I was at or below 70 MPH today, sans earplugs, and had a great time listening to music while riding. The best Quality helmet you can buy and a windscreen adequate for the speed you plan on riding makes all the difference.
Some helmets are very quiet, especially the upper end full face units. Only slightly louder are the better built modulars.
I've never used earplugs with my Arai Defiant helmet.
