I don't. I have tried before when I am not running the windshield, and I don't like not hearing around me. Just my preference

Only when I know that I will go over 50 MPH for an extended period. Always on long trips. Got a bag of 200 pair on Ebay for cheap.

Default Yes..

Yes when riding both Goldwing and RK, especially when wearing half helmet, (wear full face while on freeway). Makes the stereo easier to hear when on the Goldie, weird but true.

I do most of the time. I usually ride with a full face helmet and drive a Roadglide Ultra. If I wear a 3/4 helmet (fulmer) I don't need them as much. It is funny I hear the stereo better with the earplugs and my motor does not make all those strange noises LOL.

If I am doing 100 miles or better, you bet.
We do Sturgis straight through (700 miles) and it makes a huge difference from a fatigue stand point.

I wear em all the time riding. I have a half and (soft extension) 3/4 helmet and cannot deal with the wind noise. The pipes sound beautiful. The other day I took off and forgot the earplugs and thought hmmm pipes don't sound as nice... a little too loud. Cant win.

Full face helmet I usually do, Half face helmet I have to as my ears ring for hours after riding if I dont.

There have been wars that were quieter than these pipes....
