Ear buds
I know we've been through this before, but I didn't know if anyone has seen any new products, but what do y'all recommend for headphones under a helmet. I tried the Koss ones and the didn't fit me, they kept falling out of my ear. I have an MP3 player now and would like to be able to listen to it.

Any ones people have had success with (particularly new products)?

No way I listen to any of that on, or off a sportbike. I guess Norah's okay once in a while, if you want to get sleepy...

Re: Ear buds
Sony Fontopia MDR-EX51. VERY good for price. Just bought a pair for my own xmas present. Love them.

The only dif between 71 and 51 is the extra connector so that you can keep using a remote from original Player if it is supplied.

Re: Ear buds
Actually to be honest.... I do use them and like them..... for the cost


they have a little mute button on them so that if you pull up to an intersection and a buddy you are riding with wants to talk to you.... you can mute it...

It is good for the cost..... It is not high end... but good for the cost

Not sure, I assume so. Had no ear ache after wearing them for an hour and a half during flight. They do give you 3 different sizes for the earbud, so you can at least have a decent chance at having something that'll fit in your ear. Should be okay for helmet use. If anything they should fit better b/c the earpiece goes pretty far into the lobe.

Chatterbox, plus you can talk to your friends when riding. Great for Popo warnings or if some in the back of the pack needs help.
