hey, just fort id tell you abou these new phones that i brought. they are sony and they cost around £30, i have been trying to get a pair that i can listen 2 music wif for ages and try about 5 different sets. they either fall out as i put my helmet in or can t hear them over my exhaust and other traffic (exhaust is quite load) these were comfortable and even on quiet part of the songs sound good. i brought a iPod shuffle hense why i brought them in white, they come in black aswel i think. the reson that they are so comfprtable is because they come with 3 differnt sized ear phone bits and go rite in the eye cannel (these sound uncomfortable but these is fine, i forget there in my ear...wel except for the music)

This is the address to hav a look:

Has anyone ever tryed these and if so what did they think. i only have a 'ped at the moment but i think that these would suit most riders. tell me what you think!!!

Good headphones but be careful not to lose the rubber buds they come off easy. Also, mine no longer work in one ear, gutted. Sad

Those are the exact headphones I bought, and although they are good, they dont even come near the Sennheiser ones i got for half the price Thumbs Up

Philips ones are just as good but cheaper, but the buds also come off

I've got them, they're excellent for the bike, although yea the buds fall off and only one of mine works aswell, but the extension thing's really good Smile

Sony MDR-ED31LP for me, they are cheaper and they fit.

do you guys put them in both ears or just one so you can hear more traffic?

I tend to just put mine in one ear so i can listen totraffic and tht.

The only traffic I hear with earplugs in is sirens and horns. Nothing else is particularly important imo. Smile

I read a thread on here a while ago which mentioned the Sony headphones and then ended up getting some of these which are an update version of the ones mentioned above and which also look like they are less likely to come out while riding.

Also bought a set of these throat mics and these radios, so once I finally get my arse in gear I should have a half decent two way bike communication solution.

what were they like? the ones that i started this thread takin about are really good dont fall out, althought i only tryed them yeastaday as it was a nice day and tryed to see hwo they were over 12KM and with load of stopin, moving my head etc they didnt come out or even move and dont feel like there forcein into ur ear as i had some sony ones before these that went round ur ear (not a good as one tou mentiond) and were horrible.

The Sennheisers I have, I bought for £15, £40 (I think) and I also got a pair of "huge" headphones for £180.

The in-ear style doesn't suit/fit everyone, but if they do they are definately worth buying.

I use the £15 pair for when I'm on the 'ped (soon to be bike) only wear one earphone, and there is a definate knack to getting the helmet on without dislodging the earphone, but once you've got it, they are comfy as hell to wear whilst riding Thumbs Up

I've seen similar things before, though not brand names ones, and been tempted. Ones I saw before we designed more like earplugs and you couldn't remove the rubber bit.

I wonder if you can earphones like the ones we used at training school, they just slot over your ears and the helmet slides over them. Thinking
