They isolate ok, are slightly less comfortable than the Etymotic and have somewhat worse sound quality, but that's really not a big issue at 80mph.
How many decibels do they reduce? I usually use 33db plugs, so if they let in a lot more noise than that, I'll just skip the whole idea and get some in-helmet speakers instead.
