I will post next week, sound quality on the earbuds was better than expected last night when I tried them, The buds are flat on the backside so they will not poke through the molds.
The wire on the looks pretty heavy duty too, kind of a braided cloth type covering, sort of like the electrical cord on an iron.

Use mine all the time on long rides, I have a set of Sony earbuds http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Sony+-+E...buds&cp=1&lp=1
they stay put with or without a helmet and sound quality is very good.

pretty good price for custom earbuds with the earbuds and ear molding. I just got mine yesterday and will mold them up this weekend.

I use a 4GB Sansa Clip (1000 songs, 15 hours battery life) for long distance riding. The Sansa Clip includes an FM radio for checking the weather that lies ahead for the journey but I would really prefer an mp3 player that included weather band.
The mp3 player has a clip that allows me to clip it to my t-shirt over my left collarbone and run the wires down my back under my shirt. I can then use my left hand to pause/forward/volume. My jacket protects the mp3 player from rain.
I use Shure earphones with olives - they never fall out while riding.

I had the expensive ones before and they were fine until I lost them, have you tried the earfuze, do you know what you are talking about?
The sound quality on the earbuds themselves is just as good if not better as the expensive ones I had, just a matter if the mold works, which I see no reason it would not.

I started riding with the Ipod and Shure earbuds instead of ear plugs to cancel the wind noise. I put the Ipod in my back pocket and run the wire behind my back. Now it's not the same riding without it. I start off with a little AC/DC Thunderstruck and then shuffle the songs from there.....gets the blood flowing.

... All the time
Which ear-buds I use depends on which helmet I'm wearing. If I'm wearing my 3/4, I go ahead and use the ones that came with. If I'm wearing my half or going without, then I have a set of Sony earplug style buds that fit into my ears a bit. It muffles the outside noise some, but no more than a bad fitting set of hearing protection. The sound quality is acceptable, as is the volume.
