Ok, so I lied, this one isn't called Hooray for Boobies.
Anyway, I was wondering if anyone else listens to iPod or Mp3 players on long rides or while riding alone and what type of earphone do you have??
I am currently using the kind that wraps around the ear for working out and I don't find them comfortable for hours of riding.
I had looked at the custom ear plug type but $100-$250 seems a little steep to me.

Yup, I listen to music on long rides. I have a set of Shure E3C noise-isolating in-ear monitors. They are awesome. They block out a lot of wind noise so I don't have to crank to music up to hear it. I use the triple-flange ear pieces (look like the tree-shaped earplugs), and they are comfortable. They also come with 6 different sets of ear buds. I've worn them for 16 hour ride days without getting any ear fatigue or pain.
Cheers!

Got the E3C's myself and use the triple flange ear pieces as well. I have them hooked up to my SanDisk MP3. Love it!
