Rock Out when riding?
I've been known to listen to some tunes while riding and feeding music into my chatterbox wasnt cutting it for me at highway speeds, and with the D&D I used to have...
I invested some money in a set of Philips Earbuds that I liked, but they had a tendancy to get knocked out easily.
Been keeping my eye on the prices of the JVC Marshmallow earbuds, that get decent reviews, and looked perfect for riding with their "earplug" design..
Anyway they dropped to $10 at Circuit City.. Check em out...

Yes, good earplug style earbud speakers cut the noise tremendously and fit well. I noticed some of the fat foam earbuds are painful taking the helmet off but the Shures that I have work perfectly. They are a bit more than $10 though LOL.

Hoe do those things work blocking out the wind noise? I wouldn't mind some tunes especially on the superslabs to get to the twisties but I ride with plugs for a little bit of noise protection.

They are pretty good. The foam surrounds have less noise but are a bitch with the helmet. The ones that have several rubber flanges work better but have slightly more noise. Supposedly the custom ones they make at the show are the real deal. If you mess them up, they have your 'earmolds' on hand to make new ones too!

I use these because I always had problems with them falling out while putting on my helmet.

I used a few for the foam pad ones but they come loose and I tried mounting them in the helmet but never could get them loud enough to hear other then when stopped. I grabbed a set of the JVC gels that seem to stay in my ears and are loud enough to hear almost all the time. I only ride on the track but at full race pace the wind and engine noise drown them out, which is good because my attention is elsewhere at that pace.

My bf and I have speakers installed into our helmets so we just "plug and play" to our ipods. No worries with painful head phones/earbuds and it's loud enough at high speeds to still be able to hear the music.

For $10 I am not terribly worried about these things breaking or getting lost. You can actually jam them in pretty good and they do a pretty good job isolating external noise like ear plugs would do. They fit much like earplugs do.
I have no idea how you fit those headphones into your helmet Sax... Anything "bigger" than earbuds eventually create pressure points for me..
The sound is actually pretty good, but im also not the audiophile Cbrbob is.
Anybody else listen to 80s while riding?
Stuff like Disturbed tends to get me in trouble...

I am totally different from everyone here. The pipes on my v-twin barking out their music is enough for me. I think that I would find the music distracting.

A fellow instructor has the custom earplugs and he loves them plus the vendor repaired them at no cost last year at the show.
