Default Noise cancelling earphones

I didn't know where to put this so, Anyway I'm looking for a nice inexpensive set of noise cancelling ear phones. I Bought the Harley ones but after you reach 45 mph the wind is just too much and you can't hear your IPOD at all. any help please.


Thanks and God Bless

I don't know about the earphones but I do know that I tried several solutions to your exact problem. I ended up buying a small 9v amp that that i plugged the iPod into and then the earphones out of it. It had it's own volume control and I could get it loud enough to hear above the wind noise.

Here is what I bought:http://www.ebay.com/itm/Micro-Cmoy-h...ht_2078wt_1364

i use a pair of sony earbuds. I picked up a pair from target for under $20, they work ok. the pair I used before form the sony outlet store were the best. small size (so they don't stick out and get a popping noise from the wind) great bass response, I have no problem hearing them at any speed. they cancel out wind and noise just as good if not better as regular ear plugs when I'm not playing any music.

here are the ones I use

I'm not sure what you consider inexpensive? But on this you may get what you pay for. I have a set of Etymotic ER-6 thier not exactly inexpensive but they do work well. The only issue I have with any headphones on a bike are the cords tend to flap in the wind and want to pull out. The ER-6 I believe have been discontinued as they are an older model, but you still may find them on some internet sites or look for the newer models.

Lazyharley: Drop the headphone cord down the inside of your shirt. No more cord flying up on ya.

I use Shure earbuds and they work great, think they were around $100.

Can anyone recommend a set of ACTIVE noise-cancelling earbuds that work great on a harley at speeds of 55mph or less, and cost less than... $50? I'm in the market!
