Scala rider fm also comes with lead for MP3 player etc so you can use phone with bluetooth, inbuilt fm radio or external source and has very slim speakers.
Could be worth a look, i use them Thumbs Up

suprisingly cheap considering the quality of sound and build, it splits into two where it meets the mic bit so you can plug them into normal 3.5mm jack sockets too.

I've got a pair of these;

https://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-CX300-B-In-Ear-Stereo-Headphone/dp/B000E6G9RI

They've held up really well, been using them for a bit, ok sound quality and never seem to fall out.

I've got quite a few pairs of headphones so do end up switching when i misplace a pair (tend to leave a pair with bike stuff or gym gear, or with computer).

I'd say any with soft rubber (not the slipply plasticy rubber) and with the type of design in the link will work well, you'll get a snugg fit so will get a degree of wind noise reduction, and if the rubber is softer they'll stay in place much better than any others.

I have a pair of these which sound great but have no way of getting them under a helmet Sad

That is a good idea... When cycling I found headphones blocked out to much noise and were to distracting for city use. I imagine they are far less sound blocking the headphones.

I have to say thoes samsung ones,
i was using the exact same ones, annoying as hell, could only get my helmate on without knocking them maybe 1/4 of the time and then after the first few life savers they would be half out and i could barely head anything Neutral

Maybe its the interiour of the helmate though Neutral

Nothing seems to work very well with my helmate so i'm on aviation earplugs...
Makes everything freakily quiet though lol.

i have THESE VEHO ones - i've had sennheiser (sp?), sony and even bose earphones in the past and these are by far some of the best (and easily the cheapest) i've used, they've got 2x in-ear bud "style" things on, so they stay in a lot better and sound spot on, to the point where even doing 100+ on the SV with a straight through exhaust i cant hear the bike at all.. just the music.
