I wear earplugs and it's been 7 months now since I started riding to work everyday, so I think i've got good enough now to listen to tunes.

Any advice when buying some decent earpods?

Ideally they'd be earplugs with speakers in (if such things exhist).

Are these good enough?

Is there anything I need to look for, db levels etc?

They'll be good enough. Thumbs Up
I have a pair of Sennheiser CX200, best I've used.
89db seems to be an MP3 default level but I think go with whatever is comfortable without making your ears bleed. Wink

I ride with them, they are brilliant, very good level of bass which most modern headphones lack. Very good quality, and fit in your ears just like ear plugs.

I paid £50 for mine back in the day, but I'd happily pay the same again Thumbs Up

I've got the CX300II and to be honest, they're awesome. Cannot fault them. That being said they're beginning to fail on me, but I got a no-quibble replacement in place with HMV, so shall be changing them for a new pair soon.

I've tried various different headphones, - i've currently got some CX300's, a pair of Bose earphones, and these below - Veho Qubve VEP-002's. The Veho's cost about £10 and out perform the Bose hands down for using under my lid on the bike, much comfier, louder and the base is brilliant - cant recommend enough, and for the price they're a bargain.

Very impressed with them so far.

Also the flat cable is a brilliant idea, its almost impossible to get them tangled up.

+1 on sennheisers, only problem is they can be fragile if you're not careful, but they beat the quality of the £90 ones I had before, and at £20 you cant go wrong
