Default What earbuds are you guys using to play music while riding?

I'm looking for some noise cancelling (passive or active) earbuds to wear while riding. I usually wear foam earplugs while I ride to cut the noise of the wind and my loud *** pipe. The design of these looks like it would do the same thing an earplug would do which seems to be perfect. Anybody have any experience with these? They have good ratings on Cnet and they're only $15!

Which ones do you have? Are they all the silicone rubber type of buds? Like these?



This style doesn't stay in my ear for ****. I have a set of earbuds with that silicone dome thingy and I hate them.

Apple In-ear's headphones

Not joking, the best sounding earbuds i've ever had (bose, sony, stock apple ipod ones). They work like earplugs and block wind noise very well, plus they are dual driver.

I just got back from a 1700 mile 5 day trip, and used them every day with no problems.

Plus the fact that I can control my ipod with the "remote" clicker is amazing.

Best $80 I've ever spent.

Too rich for my blood sadly. That sounds like an awesome trip you too though! Where did you go?

I use a product called Earmolds, they make a mold of your ear & make them up for you on the spot, so they fit perfect. Coiled wiring straight to your player, even when your not playing music, they stop wind noise.
They cost $180 (Aus), but worth it.
