I bought a set of Shure E3 In-Ear Monitors for the roadtrip I just took, and I can say that after 3000 miles of testing, they ROCK!!! They come with all sorts of different earpieces, but I bought the triple flange earpieces (10 bucks) and they actually seal my ears better than the plain earplugs I was using before. As a result, the music doesn't have to be very loud, and you don't get any ringing. Above 65 mph with a headwind, you can hear a bit of wind roar in the background, but it doesn't affect the listening experience.

They are small, and very comfortable. The wire goes behind your ears and down your back, so it's out of the way.

These are not cheap (they're made for professional musicians to be used as on stage monitors) - I paid $200.00 Canadian, but it was worth it to be able to listen to music while riding without having it cranked up to overcome the wind noise.

I HIGHLY recommend this unit.

Cheers!
