I've been using these (see link) for a couple of years under the helmet with no complaints at all. Very comfortable; the ergos on them are so comfy you don't noticed they are there until you pull the helmet off and they have decent sound and inexpensive to say the least. Not Bose quality but does the job.

Man I have tried so many different types of ear phones to ride with over the years. Those Skull candy ones aren't bad. You can get them at Cycle Gear if you have one close. My mom got me some IBeats for my birthday last year and they are freakin awesome! They come with a bunch of different sets of rubber pieces that go in your ear so you can pick the ones that fit best.

 

I don't know how you guys use any kind of ear buds especially with a helmet. I tried some just for working outside and threw them away.
There are quite a few Bluetooth style communicators or just stereo units with speakers that fit inside your helmet.
I then add some speaker foam and they rest comfortable at my ear and cuts down on noise and I can hear the music better

 

I just listen to the reality TV in my head and that's good enough for me

 

must be a short series.....

 

I made out well with the cheap Skull Candy ones, back when I used any. Took awhile to get them in and get the helmet on without upsetting them, but once in they were great.

 

The music (or phone calls) you listen to are just a bonus because if you're not wearing earplugs, chances are, you won't be able to enjoy hearing music or hearing much of anything else for long.

I have ridden thousands of miles listening to my Ipod with some like these:

They can be a little uncomfortable at times, but even foam earplugs can make your ears ache. I spent the last two days listening to screaming racebikes while wearing transponder earmuffs and my tinnitus is about at the same level as if I had been riding. Got a two-day ride home starting tomorrow morning and I'll be jamming the whole way. I wear a Slik helmet liner and that keeps them in my ears when taking off and putting on the lid. Unless you ride very slow or have a very quiet helmet, internal speakers don't seem to do the trick unless you crank it up to 11 and then there's a whole 'nother hearing-loss issue. Still, I may experiment with some in this Schuberth C3 I bought last fall. It's the quietest helmet I've ever worn.

Sidenote: these are almost half the cost at Amazon, if anyone wants them.

P.S.S. If you don't need express shipping, they're $45 at Overstock. Holycrap! I'm getting some.

 

A tip for using them if you decide to purchase a pair, drape the wires over your ears and use the left 'bud in the right ear and vice versa.

 

Oh those are nice; thanks for the heads up HH. I think I might even try em out.

 

Ewe! Used earbuds!

 

I found these at WALLYMART, good sound and dont hurt ears with helmet

 

Got notice that they shipped this morning. I can't wait to see how they do on the plane to Mexico in two weeks!

 

they really cut the jet engine noise to a minimum.

 

Did you get the ones from amazon?
That's a good deal

 

Yeah, but not those ones. I paid another... $2 I think, for the ones marked as "new".

 

:laugh:

Iv torn apart so many ear buds by forgetting they were still connected into my Tank Bag, that I finally bought a SENA wireless SMH10 Bluetooth Helmet system. $160 a day long & well worth it

Its awesome. Ive received phone calls thru the system and its work brilliantly, shuts off the music and then resumes when call is over. Music controls are easy with the large dial knob & buttons, and battery life can be a solid 8 hours, and this has got me plotting once again https://www.amazon.com/HitCar-Inverter-Converter-Recorder-Straight/dp/B00U2DGKOK.
Woo Hoo!!

Just wondering about the batteries, some of the reviews about not being able to replace them have kept me from buying?

 

And that's why I put my corded devices in a pocket inside my jacket, not in a tank bag.

 

I have enough shit in my Jacket...... and the Blue tooth doesnt hurt my ears like the buds do after 150 miles.... Plus I can answer the phone under my brain bucket, so its a win-win for me. Would never go back to ear buds.

 

Need one of these on the Ninja

 

I use Soundpeats Qy7. They are wireless bluetooth headphones that charge via USB. They sound great and last forever on a charge. Of course the best part is no wire to your device and there very cheap. I think I paid $20 for them.

Just had a few good friends talk about this. I put in the cheap box you can get at Home Depot.
Not buds just plugs so I don't mess up my hearing. Those cheap orange ones

 

I have the Sena 20S and would never go back. I was reading an update on another forum that people have upgraded the speakers on the Sena to some from J&M. It took a good thing on the Sena to great. The speakers on the Sena are kinda tinny. These J&M speakers are fantastic and easy to wire in. I bought the speakers from Sierra-MC. Not cheap at almost $40 per speaker (two per helmet). I did this on mine and after installing them I immediately bought another set for my girlfriends helmet. As expensive as the Sena is, they should have come with these speakers.

There are three wires inside the Sena speaker cable. Red | White | Blue. Leave the Blue alone as it is the FM radio wire. Just solder the red to red and black to white and you are good to go.

Just picked up these. Like my previous Panasonic but these come with a mini control. Super comfy with helmet on and have great sound quality for the $$$.
