Best headphone for motorcycling? - SV650.org

Hi all,

Need some good in-ear headphones for the satnav, was thinking of some Koss or philips marshmellows, but wanted to check if anyone has any other suggestions under £20.

Never had an issue with Sennheisers Link

Obviously CX200 < CX300 < CX400, but, they get more expensive as you go up

I am having good results with HMV Dots - about £10-£15 depending on whether in the sale or not - VERY tiny so dont interfere with getting lid on or off/being knocked out while doing that.

This is a review of the same thing - just not HMV branded

Heres a link to the HMV product

I got them as a trial, at a tenner (and I had a £10 gift voucher) they were worth a punt, and worked out just fine.

What do they sound like on the bike? do they cut out any wind/road/engine noise?

you actually want to listen to its annoying voice instructions????

my dad fixs sat nav to his bike using a DIY mount and a piece of string attached just incase it falls off lol.

They block out as much as then Seinheissers (sp) I had once - so the same as any in-ear canal silicone rubber headphones.

skullcandy from hmv, brilliant headphones

I got some sony ones from Asda for £10 which fit way better on me than the more expensive skull candy & others I tried

Any headphone that is small enough not to be effected too much by your helmet going on and off and that you can buy comply foam ear pieces for will be good. The foam really helps seal the buds and blocks out a majority of the wind noise, much like ear plugs.

I use earplugs when on the bike and have helmet speakers.
