Default Earphones

I put my mp3 player on when i went for a ride today, made for a great ride! id reconmend it to anyone if they are out for a blast. Prodigy was my choice today.

Anyway, when i got back after a couple of hours my ears were bloody killing. Anyone got any adivce on good earphones for helmet use? i was using the normal in ear types u get with most things these days.

Get y'self some moulded earplugs made... You can get them fitted with earphones/hands-free kits if required

They physically pump latex (or something) into your eardrum to produce the plugs... You'd have to source them locally... I saw them being made at the Bike show (NEC)

Wearing music on a bike other than using autocom or similar, scares the hell out of me, and i like my music.

I'm with you V. Too much of a distraction and would / could make me ride like a tw@ if I was listening to something like Prodigy.

Sound of the Scorpion on full chat is fine for me. Especially with 30 other SV's going through that tunnel on the way to Brighton on the end of season ride out last year.

Theres a place in Poole (Dorset). I can't remember the name though at the moment. i will have a think and if I remember I will let you know.

Look on t'internet for custom ear plugs or custom moulded ear plugs.
