Verdict, great for the SVs...nay on the VRap! cancels wind noise on both, but not headache from twin zorsts!

Not to be confused with Ultimate Ears. They make high end in ear monitors for musicians and would set you back upwards of £600 for a set!
I have to say mrspeirs I've never tried my in ears on my bike. Looks like you've saved me the bother

Myself and the wife bought some custom moulded ones at Bike show (about 80-100 I think, missus paid).
Sadly they were not good. The headphone inserts kept falling out (you can glue them in, but it only last for a few weeks before falling out again).
They are fairly uncomfortable to get in, but relatively ok once in.
However my recommendation is buy a pair of very cheep JVC ones with the mouldable foam ends (available in Sainburys). Fit these on a pair of sony earphones (about 25 quid) and actually they are really comfortable and cut out a lot of external noise, and I recon the sony earphones are pretty much the best quality on the market (and I have tried the £70 Bose ones as well as loads of others).

I just nick them from work.

But this reminds me, I've got one of the manufacturers coming in and they do custom plugs too. May ask them for more info, maybe an org discount?

Maybe he just wants to listen to the music on his phone?

Then I would assume that the word "Handsfree" and the comment about a mic built into one of the earbuds would have been missing.

In-ear type headphones - eg SkullCandy Inkd or Sony E71s do a very good job of blocking out some noise while I am listening to music while riding
