Earphones

Post by gebrauchtwagen83 »

i want a pair of earphones for riding distance that are noise cancelling or where I can hear the music. wondering what recommendations people had. my original budget was about 50 quid but if i discover there is nothing that gets the job done for that price then i would be open to going higher (for quality). any help would be much appreciated.

I got my wife some Sony in ear noise cancelling earphones last Xmas off amazon for about £50 and they are brilliant, only thing us they stick out a little bit so if you've got a tight fitting lid you won't keep them in.

I wanna get some too but need to find some helmet friendly.

I have a pair of these and I find them to be really good.

Originally brought when I was doing a lot of freestyle kayaking hense being waterproof. Tried them on the bike one day and haven't looked back really.

I had my ears moulded at the Motorcycle live show by ultimate Ear as I was looking at there custom molded ear phones but to be honest, I find the overboard ones to be quite adequate at the moment and not being flush with cash I'd rather re distribute that money elsewhere.

Yeah, I'd get them if I had the spare cash as I've heard they are brilliant.

I'll keep looking :)

I also use Ultimate Ear monitors, they are good, I had to go for custom made to measure because I have small ear canals and can't use any of the in ear earphones.

these look good mate. do they stay moulded or are they soft and you have to squeeze them in each time?
