Default Headphones and a half helmet.

Currently am using a pair of sony earbuds on long rides for both wind protection and a little entertainment... However, they suck.

So I'm looking to upgrade, suggestions please?

Shure ear buds are great and comfortable.

I've tried them all. None seem to stay in right. On long trips I wear those screw-in type ear plugs which work great. I wonder if they have em' as headphone plugs ... that would work for me.
Seems as though, standard ear buds just can't get beyond the wind noise unless you crank your box up to full volume which is worse than the wind noise.

You may want to look at the Etymotic 6i Isolator Earphones.

They are great. I have been using them for a few years now.

Just curious--are your ears standard or metric?
