Are there any headphones designed to fit under a helmet? Bog standard ones just don't seem to do the job for me.

I bought some of these

to use with my Tomtom. They are really good - fit in the ear well so act as ear plugs cutting down on wind noise as well. There's no problem with the helmet dislodging them either.

Apologies, due to sheer laziness I didn't search first. Had I done so I would have found this topic discussed before. That said if anyone still wants to post here please do!.

Sony do ones like those Sennheisers. Great sound, fit really well and cuts out a lot of background noise.

You can get them in Argos

I've been using the Koss 'Plugs'. Cost me about 6 quid (from amazon IIRC), and they scrunch up like earplugs then expand to fit. For cheap phones, the sound is excellent, and they're brilliant on the bike, comfy and they cut out pretty much all wind noise so you don't need to max your volume out just to hear. I've been usinng them for a while too, and despite having a hard life there are no crackles or pops yet.

In THIS i wrote about my ER6 that i own. They cost me about £70 but are great. Im still yet to test them on a bike as not riding at the moment but Hotdog recently brought a pair and said they are excellent on a bike, mine are still in great condition about about 8months and i take them everywhere with me, not in their case either.

I use those one's, but I tend not to use them on the bike. With wind noise and the sound of the engine, you end up putting you mp3 player or what ever you have on full blast. Probably end up doing a lot of damage to your ears.

I use these, they have amazing sound quality, and fit in the ear very well.

The best bit is they hook over your ear, I find with standard earphones if you turn a bit quickly you can pull the earphone out of your ear, but with these they are attached to your head so you don't run the risk.

Only paid like £35 for them too Cool

I tried some sony bluetooth ones that you can buy for phones like the W850i. Come with a bluetooth receiver on a cord you can listen to music and answer the phone if necessary (dunno about the tomtom but I guess that would work too). Feature small silicone-type ear buds that completely plug into the ear canal and thus filter out all wind noise and are supremely comfortable.
