[SpeedyGirl]

Hey all

I know that i should not do this :dodge: but i listen to music when riding (usually because i have lost everyone...lol) and have issues with my headphones that i use, anyone have or have heard of anything that you can use that fits in your ear(like ear plugs) rather in the usual ones??? (am i making any sense???):blink: and also need something not too expensive as I am shocking at losing or breaking stuff like that :doh:

I like listening to music while I ride, I find it helps me be more relaxed and get into a rythm.
I have used these Philips Ear hook jobbies like you see a number of runners using: http://www.noelleeming.co.nz/audio/accessories/headphones/philips-shs3200-earhook-in-ear-headphone-black/prod93135.html

But prefer these http://www.noelleeming.co.nz/audio/accessories/headphones/panasonic-rp-hje200e-w-bud-style-headphones-with-3-changeable-ear-pads-white/prod96943.html as they cut out most of the wind noise and I can have the volume quite a bit lower because of it.

Sorry couldn't put the pictures in, follow the links.

I have headphones similar to these: Linky (http://www.dse.co.nz/cgi-bin/dse.storefront/47405147000b41c8273fc0a87f330642/Product/View/C9507) which I use along with my iPod shuffle
The reason I love them, is because they have nice silicone in-ear fitty things, sound quality is a lot better, bass is better, and sound reduction is enough to almost enough to call them earplugs

Another vote for the CX300's.

I use the same headphones and they are awesome. I find at low speeds they block out quite a bit of noise to. Anything above 80 and for a long trip you start needing ear plugs but YMMV.

Or check these out www.earmold.com.au We make the custom made earplugs, wired for your sounds.

cx300's are good, about 80-90$ tho. Thats full retail price tho.... After I bought them I saw the panasonic ones for 1/2 price, i bet they do the same job.

Plugs 4 Lugs make ear pieces which are custom made to your ears, they can be wired for sound and are a really good price.
Take about 30 minutes to make and will last for years.

I think Melon started a thread about it as well, but can't find it. I seem to recall it mentioning a link with tinnitus. I have two friends who suffer from that- one is almost completely deaf. No thanks. :(

[Jorja]

I believe any form of head phone can cause damage to your hearing because people tend to have them turned up too loud.

I paid $47.00 new off TM a while ago.. they are dearer now, but still reasonable & they are top quality!
