Default Incredible earbuds

If you're a solo rider, wear a full face helmet and like listening to music or need to take phone calls while riding, you have to check out Slimbuds. I bought them after months of searching. They are fabulous!

Interesting.....BUT.....how would I answer a phone call ? My phone is in my inside jacket pocket (not accessible) and I wear a FF helmet.
I see there is a remote listed for it (not yet available)

Personally, I don't listen to music when on the bike, and normally would never take a phone call, but there are weeks I am on-call 24/7 for work and on those weeks I just can't ride.

I'd pay $140 for 'buds if I could somehow answer the call (and then pull over when safe) with something remote...ie: outside of the phone or outside of the helmet. (like a 1 or 2 button remote on the bars.

How are they for a long day in the saddle comfort wise? Just regular soft ear plugs start to bug me after about 4-6 hours.

If you think those are pricey, check out Bose---but be sure you have somebody to catch you when you pass out.

I've got a set of the Bose QC20 noise canceling earbuds I bought originally for traveling, they work well for riding and mowing the lawn as well. Expensive as hell, but I do get a lot of mileage out of them.

I go threw ear buds entirely too fast. No clue why. Been like that my entire life. I go every year to the dollar store and buy three or four packs. They last me about that year...

For that kind of money you can get the remaining members of Foghat to play in your garage.
