Earphones
« on: 04 September 2015, 05:07:46 pm »
What earphones do you all squeeze under your helmet?
I'm having trouble finding a pair that are comfortable and stay in me lug.
I had a pair ages ago but my missis lent them to her cousin who decided to lose them. Iv bought I few since but there just not the same :(
Iv been looking at the little headphones what you can stick inside your lid but I'm yet to find some what seem upto the job and aren't affected by wind noise..  But I guess wind noise is always gonna be a problem no matter how much you spend  ..

Last pair I was wearing I just bought a cheap set and used some of that custom fit ear plug putty round it to make a perfect fit.

Total cost was only about £20, there's a few guides online if you google it :)

As above!

Practice with a cheap pair of headphones first,
Then tkmax do skull candy headphones for about a tenner which are very good quality!
Some say...

I used one of these in my lid every day for about 2 years through seriously bad British weather. It's still going strong now my son is using it. Only reason I moved on was because I needed rider/pillion comms.
My brother in law uses one too and loves it.
I've answered clear phone calls at track day speeds, and always listen to music when I ride.
Wind noise ain't a problem either. Best VFM in my opinion.
Stop polishing it and ride the bloody thing!!

I use Bose earphones, I wanted good quality but I got these for $80 in a Danish PX in 2013!

all depends on what you are linking them too and how much you want to spend!
It ain't what you ride, it's who you ride with!!!
