Ear buds for MP3 players

Btw I take delivery of my 1984 CB250RS tomorrow morning... how loud is a 250 thumper? Inside of a helmet? Should I get some earplugs, or are those more targetted towards owners of frighteningly loud Harleys? I like my ears and would them to retain their abilities.

Its the wind noise that you have to worry about. Never found any bike with a too loud exhaust apart from flatmates old zzr250 with a straight through ( selling on behalf of soon). I always ride with ear plugs on the open road, just more comfortable for me. I gave my brother some Koss sparkplugs for christmas and he really liked them although said they had too much bass for him ( koss trait ) and the squishy foam bit would sometimes stay in his ear when he took them out but has since superglued it on.

I would definitly take the sennheiser if possible as had some HD200 for 7 years and still love them.

Can anyone recommend a particular make/model of earplug/bud that is not a problem under a helmet, particularly when removing said skidlid?

I use a pair of Senheisser CX300's. I find them excellent!! They are soft & comfortable inside my helmet & don't dig into my ears! They generally stay in place when putting my helmet on, & taking it off. Got mine brand new off TM about a year ago now, for $43! here's a NZ price search for them using pricespy.
