Glad you posted that. Just ordered some etymotics for moto use.I really like them for the moto. With a good (quiet) helmet, they cut enough noise to hopefully protect my ears, but still allow me to hear traffic sounds.
It looks like Etymotics has expanded the line. It seems they now have several sizes and attenuation levels available. Just like condoms, be sure you get the right size for your relevant appendage. :-)
Well I found the etymotics you linked, ER20, unusable for moto because the long glass stalk would not work with full face helmet. Foolishly I got the helmet on and then found I couldn't get it off because the stalks were angled down so lifting the helmet jammed them in my ears. I had to reach in through faceshield and wiggle them out first.
I do see they make a version without the stalk designed to fit under helmets. I may have to give them a go. Started using foam plugs. Much better than nothing, cumbersome to insert. The etymotics sure go in nicely.
