Hello there, was wondering, does anyone ride with isolating earbuds to cancel motorcycle sound (or quiet it down) and listen to music (mostly quietly) at the same time? Can I get in any trouble if I get pulled over with earbuds in my ears?

I prefer Radio 2, but I always have it loud.

Why would it be an issue with the filth? Deaf people manage to drive successfully without beinga danger to themselves and everyone else on the road.

Last copper who stopped me asked what I was listening to. Told him 'Easy listening, motorhead...'

I've tried earbuds, but could never get them to stay put when putting my helmet on. They always seemed to shift a bit, not much, but just enough to then be annoying. Are there slim or small earbuds that people are using that don't get nudged by the crash helmet?

Never had this problem, but then again my headphones fit really nicely, and I have a flip helmet, so it doesn't really move the headphones if you put it on just right

I bought a pair of the Bose noise isolating ones and paid extra for the performance tips. They're good, but not as good as ear plugs for blocking noise.
