Hi, I use to ride with My MP3 player using a set of skull candy ear buds, worked fine but I wanted to add speakers and found a set with a amp for under $75 and no Mo Buds . Took a little getting use to the music with other sounds of the ride included. With the buds You hear the buds and nothing else...WVleo

Get some good earbuds (I use shure) with the foam or rubber attachments on the end. They work pretty well, until you get on the freeway at 80. then it has to be turned nearly all the way up.

Don't flame me for this, but on my sportbikes (i know, I know), I took some old headphones apart and velcroed the speakers into my fullface, it worked like a charm. I ride with my Motorola bluetooth headphones now when I want to listen to the IPhone, no wire, and the phone and tunes work flawlessly. The bluetooth headphones go in the ear but have a plastic headpeice that wraps around the back of the head to hold it on, so I can't wear a fullface with them in, but the half helmets work fine!

I have used these earbuds on the last couple of rides they work really good because they have a foam insert. Turn it up to about 3/4 volume and set the IPod to shuffle and your set. The Foam blocks most of the wind noise, and keeps the earbud in place. I use a 1/2 helmet and tuck the wires behind my ears and Im good.
Good Luck.

Don't go cheap, like those crappy "Skull-candy ***" earbuds.

No offense guys but you get what you pay for.

Drop the $99.00 for Bose ear buds and you won't be disappointed.

I USE THESE... EarFuze.com and no I do not sell them or work for them. Blocks outside noise because molded in your ear. Still have to crank up volume.
