Noise cancelling helmet friendly headphones with remote?

[Sparks!]

OK I don't want much do I

Are there any ear plug like headphones on the market that block wind noise, stay in your ear when you try to put helmet on and preferably with a remote to control an ipod/phone ?

Don't really want to spend a fortune either!

The Sennheiser CX range worked for me, but I just couldn't get on with music whilst riding, on offer @£18 from Amazon at the moment, usually £60: here, alternatively get custom plugs made with speakers in for around £200 from Ultimate Ear

Balls to £200 for ear phones!!

The amazon ones you linked to look quite good though, no ipod controller but just seen you can buy them seperately for a few quid so that gets round that problem.. even better if i can fit a controller to the bars or something hmmm..

today was first time ive listened to music whilst riding and really enjoyed it.. felt no real different to when you listen to music in the car in terms of concentration, only downside is i probably looked like a twat singing and noddin me head to eminem whilst stuck at some traffic lights

I listen to music all the time on the bike. Got normal earphones as I'm on a YBR125 and not much noise as I'm in london and don't go above 50. But the trick is to make loads of different play lists. Then there's no need for skipping.

Also if you have audio books etc then make sure you change the settings so they don't play if you want to use the shuffle function.

When I finally pass my test I think I'll need to invest in some noise cancelling ones.

Have they not invented noise cancelling in normal earphones not the in-ear thingys, they dont get on well with my ears...

I think the whole idea of noise cancelling is pretty much being in ear

As it blocks out anything else reaching your ears


Those Sennheiser look the nuts though. Will need to give them a try.

the best i have EVER used came with my sony erricson w850 they completely block out noise when there in and are comfortable to wear with my lid on and are great when plugged into my iphone although i had to buy a extension cable to make the jack reach my pocket.

These ones

The Sennheiser's work about as well as the Ultimate Ear ones, however the Ultimate Ear ones are more comfortable and stay in your ears better.
Some helmets have a removable bit by the ear you need to take out (even using with the moulded ones), some you may need to shave some foam in that area while others just work.

Remember you need a fairly chunky remote to use with gloves on.

Watch out for fake Sennheisers which are qyute common - I was actually considering putting a post up asking if anyone knew how to tell as I was looking to get another set for use at the gym etc.

for cheap ones these are awesome
https://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/9004375/Trail/searchtext%3EJVC.htm

they have memory foam like ear plugs so if you ipod dies on you they still act like ear plugs to keep noise out

best ive had while riding, they dont move or make a wierd noise in your ear if they move etc

[colin1]

the headphones leeR recommended, are a little cheaper here

£13+£2.99 postage

I've got some of these £10 free postage

they are more like squidgy ear plugs that slowly expand to fit your ear

I like 'em, and they are better than old style in ear headphones, but I dont know how they compare to other earplug headphones

I have been thinking of getting some of these Shure SE110 £41.99

but I doubt I'd use them enough to justify getting them

I doubt I'd ever wear them while riding. You are too vulnerable on for me to want to block out one of my senses, and assume all will be well.

Also, I think the volume levels you'd need to hear the music over wind noise, would not be too good for your ears, even with noise cancelling headphones.

I go these about 4 years ago when someone posted on here that they where £80 down to £18.


They are brilliant, I had to buy another set as one of the ear plugs where starting to go not bad considering 4 years use everyday. Unfortunatly I had to pay £50 for that set but they are worth it. Can answer calls and raise and lower the volume on the brick part, the best thing is no wire linking it to the phone which is easy.
