Ear plugs, headphones (music) or naked ...

By that token, are you saying its bad to ride with music ??

some people think it is and some people thinks it isn't i couldnt be without music on long journeys.

Just down to personal preference really. I actually tried riding with music years ago but prefer to be more focused on the bike.

I use headphones most of the time, if i cant find my ipod before i go out then i go naked.

I tried it once, weren't comfortable. When ever I shift my mum's cage to get my bike out I like to listen to the engine so have to have music in the car right down

I notice my riding is worse with nowt in my ears, too loud.

With some decent earplugs, like the wharfedale ones I can't find any replacements for ... the wind noise is cut out nicely.

These days I mostly wear earplugs 'cos I haven't got any decent earphones. Keep meaning to sort some in-lid speakers out but haven't got round to it.

Have a look at the ones that come with the samsung tocco ultra phone (The phone is rubbish but earplugs are great).
They actually slip into the ear and block out sound like ear plugs do.

I'll post up some pics if anyones interested.
