I was on the wrong site but to Sbms link I have found the right place, well a bonus, you can get just one ear done, result! I'm already deaf in the other so don't need a pair. :)

Music on the open road, having forked out for Schuberth C3 c/w sound collar, seems rude not to!!!

No gizmos for me. If I want music I sing at the top of my voice :laugh: And sweeet Jesus, don't I sound great. Better than in the bath :laugh:

Better still, there's no one to complain

listen to sat nav, and or music on longer journeys.. it breaks up the motorway tedium...IMHO :silly:
+1 music on longer rod trips to help keep sane, but for shorter and offroad rides I use Boots BioEars, which block out almost all of the noise to be nearly as good as the ultimate ears at a fraction of the price

Ear plugs for long rides, but I love the sound of movement. Wind, engine, and as for voices in my head I hear them all the time :unsure:

I play music through my Zumo and Scala headset but depends on the day and the road ... Always on motorway runs or if there's much wind noise. If it gets slow and twisty or for tracks the music is definitely off as it becomes an intrusion.

Usually on though ...

It's not as if I get to hear the birds singing with the music off ... All I'd hear is wind noise and the Aarrrrrrrrrppp from my shouty V-twin :)
