Hi all,
I just picked up an Ipod and I am looking for recommendations on earbuds/earphones to wear while riding. The stock ones are a little hard, and they have to be in your ear absolutely perfect or they fall out when you put on your helmet or move your head a few times. I am not looking for the in helmet speakers, but instead a better more comfortable set of earphones that I can wear under my helmet, that won't fall out and will sound pretty good.

Thanks for any input.

I use Sony ones like these.
SONY MDREX71SLA Earbud Headphones- Choose Color: Compare Prices, View Price History and Read Reviews at NexTag

They fit in your ear well, and don't fall out. They have good sound, but don't block out all the outsied noise.

I've bought a couple set of Etymotic Research ER6i Isolator In-Ear Earphones from amazon.com that fit good. I use the foam ear tips.

just bought a new set a week ago.............and highly recomend them. They are ear buds made by phillips, they sell at walmart for $14.72,yep,thats right.

I had to turn much of the base down on my mp3,these things have a very full sound, and on the bike with a half helmet on, they are seriously enjoyable.

I had the same problem. I went through a couple of different earphones but found that they would slip off after a while. I then bought some Philips non-slip earphones that have a soft rubber hoop that hooks around your ear and keeps them in place. These are the best earphones I have owned. Not only is the sound quality amazing but they are light weight and forget I have them on. Here's a picture, they come in white or black.. I paid $10 at Wal-mart.

Not cheap, but the best you can get:
Mark Johnson's FJR Site
Now Hear This !
In Ear Monitors CUSTOM MOLDED To Your Ears - Acrylic - (eBay item 190165585517 end time Nov-20-07 17:52:49 PST)

These are custom fit to YOUR ear. You either use a DIY kit to make an impression of your ear canal and send it in, or you have an impression made by an ear doc.

The set on the eBay link is about $250.... you can spend anywhere from $150 to $700+ for the pro musician versions.

I Still have the same problem as well. I have used many different headphones and now currently use BOSE Freestyle Headphones and I am still not satisfied. I literally can't hear anything at high speeds due to the wind & engine noise combined.

Meanwhile, I ran across these guys:
The Very First Motorcycle Earphones
Earphones Designed Specifically For Motorcycle Riders

I'm very curious to see what they plan to release.
