Does anyone here use in ear headphones with the mouldable foam inserts? Just wondering how good they are at blocking noise as normal ones I find uncomfortable and dont work quite as well as i'd like in blocking out wind and exhaust noise. If they're no good im looking at the custom fit earphone/plugs route.

I got the Squidgy one and it's fantastic! Would HIGHLY recommend. As for a handfree - they do a variety of ones with the connectors for headsets built in - would be worth having a look.

Reeder.
I don't use them on the bike but do use them in work. They are very good at blocking out noise, just as good as the custom moulds.

But I can't justify £175 for the custom moulded ones, which I have for the bike, but without the speakers. Even then they get uncomfortable after a while

It's of no use to this thread, but I've just been fitted for the Sonic (I think) moulded plugs with comms built in.
Love my job some days! I tried music whilst I rode once, didn't like it. Not interested in taking calls either. I like the fact that I can't be contacted whilst out on the Tiger. Orange foam plugs for me! Pete ![]() |

Personally I am either using Shure E5's or Futuresonics EM3's. But I am using them for In ear monitoring purposes so you dont have to spend that much.
As long as the earphone facilitates the foam tips then the noise reduction offered by the foam itself is very good.

I've got a pair of Sennhieser headphones and bought some comply foam tips for them, they don't quite block out as much wind noise as normal earplugs but are pretty close plus there great for listening to music with just got to be carefull when putting your helmet on as its easy to knock them out but once on there fine

Well I have just taken the plunge and placed an order with Ultimate ears for a set of custom made jobbies. I am geting the moulds made locally which is 2 miles from my house in York. I will let you know what they are like when they arrive.
I have to wear ear defenders at work so I will give them a good coat of looking at while I am there! |
