Hey how did y'll know I've been looking for some of these? I bought a pair but they stick out just far enough to get uncomfortable after a half mile down the road under my helmet. There are some good suggestions here.

I know! Sometimes what may seem like a dumb question to some benefits others. All this input is great.

Also it really depends on your helmet, I wear a 3/4 open face so I can get something pushed into my ear opening on the helmet. The smaller earbuds aren't loud enough since I have pipes, but the smaller over the head ones some are thin enough and much louder.

I thought I would throw a link in for the Hear One https://hereplus.me/pages/product-details#listen even though they are out of the price range discussed here. Interesting product I can't wait to see where the technology goes, tuneable noise cancelling.

I have the Harley ones also. So far they work great. I like that they go over the ear and not just in so it's harder for them to fall out. I am considering going with a SENA though for the radio stations.

Another question? What kind of pipes are you running?
The reason I ask is I run drag pipes and unless I am wearing the push in ear buds you can barely hear anything.
Something I've been looking for are the old style headphones to place into the ear holes on the helmet.

Install baffles in your pipes if they are that loud. Give the folks at Big City Thunder a call.
