its funny you said that i actually text on my cell phone while riding so it can b done

 

I also have tried numerous different earbuds with my mp3 player. Right now I am using a set of Sony that are cheep, about $20, but I have had to trim down the foam so they fit in my ear better and don't move around. I have tried more expensive ones with no luck. found many get blown out from being over powered, guess its better that they fail rather than my ear drums. It is frustrating

 

I can't see this being safe at all....I like to listen to the bike to know whats going on.....also to know whats going on with other road user's....ambulance,police,f***ing mad car drivers!
