helmet friendly earphones?

[Paniller]

I have tried JVC marshmallows, Skull Candy Ink'd, some iFrogs ones, some skullcandy around the ear ones, and maybe some others.

Everything comes out 75% of the time when I put the helmet on, or the cord snags and pulls them out if I do miraculously get it on clean. Only the first two have a prayer at staying in. The skull candy is the best sound quality, by far of those.

I'm gonna try Etymotics. One pair of $80 headphones is cheaper than my 4-5 failed $20 pairs.

I use Koss noise canceling earbud they come with 3 different ear pieces to fit perfectly in your ear. They seemed kind of pricey for $25 from wally world but they had great reviews. Also have an in line volume adjustment great for those sudden sound changes lol

First off, I'm a headphone slut!!! I'm very picky on headphones and I've always had incredible luck with Sony. These headphones are badass! They have sweetass bass and rich treble sound with a volume adjuster and not bad for the price! Of course, when riding you can still hear some outside sound, especially a Jardine (teehee), but I don't think any headphone would cut off any outside noise. I could be wrong though.

I have been happy with myklipsch S4 since I ruined my ultimate ears metro fi 220's

but this is my next set of headphones, I keep buying disposables and go through 2-3 sets a year, this just makes more sense. besides I am an audiophile

I've tried a couple different kinds, most pull off when you put your helmet on and are a pita. Then i got a pair of skullcandys for like $10 on sale and those are the best!
I still want to try one of the bluetooth setups that have "permanent" speakers in the helmet, but haven't had the money to do that yet.

TTT for new ones I just tried out. MEE M9's. Cheapo $15 ones for you to try out if you're interested. They sound really damn good for the price.

Beats By Dre Ear Buds = Awesome All Around Sound!!!

 

[Enforcer36]

the skull candy buds made to wear in your helmet suck, they fall out of your ear after 1 mile

I have the same iasus speakers in my helmet and have been running them for an entire season but after about 3 weeks the connector went bad and I had to rebuild it.

I purchased them with the throat mic setup, it too went out after about 3 weeks, I have yet to rebuild it. when it worked it was amazing, 70mph with my D&D and people could hardly tell I was even on my bike.

Buy a Cardo Scala rider Q2. You put the large speakers in your helmet, and you plug your MP3 player into it

Im rocking the same and i love it!! I hated ear buds. so painful with a tight helmet [sad]

 

[ankaka]

Bose is a little expensive mp3 headphone,but it is the best brand.

I use the Sena SMH-10 in my Shoei RF1100. The Bluetooth conectivity is awesome so I can just turn on Pandora and it's instantly playing in my helmet. Volume is great even with 33db reducing ear plugs and screaming D&D pipe. The sound quality is fantastic too. A few of the guys I frequently ride with have the same unit too so the intercom feature gets used a lot too. It's changed the riding experience for the better and is well worth the $160 price tag. Imagine, phone calls from the road with simple voice commands.

Check out Revzilla's review.

I just took some earbuds and fixed them inside my helmet. I then routed the wire to terminate into a female 3.5mm headphone jack near my left jaw. I simply plug a 3.5mm male cable into my helmet and the other into my ipod in my pocket.

I know FlaX has a bluetooth helmet and he likes his.

I want one but not in the market to be buying a new helmet currently....maybe when I need a new one.

Skullcandy FIX works great for me!

I just bought the Shure SE215, audiophile quality, top notch build quality, they wrap AROUND the ear and are FLUSH with your ear.

helmet wont push on them and a tug on the cords wont dislodge them forcing you to put your glove finger in trying to work it back into your ear.
