Oh if you are going to ride with an Ipod, invest in some Shure brand earphones. They keep the wind and road noise out and the sound quality is amazing but they are $100 but well worth the money.

Not sure which set I got but the earplugs I got for the iPod came in the same colors as ipod. I think the were JVC and had extra earbuds too. Work great, but I only use it on longer rides, not so much around town.

ive purchased many earbuds . I use them when i workout at the gym and most havent lasted more than a month or two. Ive had klipsch S2 headphones for months and these are by far the best sounding headphones ive ever owned. Ive had bose, monster beats, and sonys ..Definantly recommend these klipsch S2 earbuds and they fit real tight in the ear for riding. They run about 60.00 at bestbuy.

Fireman- Can you post a link to the headset that you have. I've been trying to find something where I can listen to music and accept calls....

Its the only way to ride. Not only to rock out to some Zeppelin but helps with wind noise as well

I use my iPhone. Perfectly legal here and have the volume set so that i can still relate to my surroundings. I'm into my tunes so much that i wonder what people around me think when my feet are grooving to my tunes. Screw it...I love to ride!
