Re:Ear Buds 11 Months, 1 Week ago  
It makes no sense for earbuds to be illegal if ridiculously loud stereos in cars are not. Think about this: in most states where helmet use is mandatory on a bike, it's illegal to wear one in your car! You are as aware and safe as you are willing to put the effort into. I run my buds at a level where I can still hear ambient noise, like my bikes engine and the tires of passing vehicles. Have never had a close call or idiot moment from not being able to hear something. Have had them for other reasons though.

JVC sport (with the over the ear clip) and I only use one so I can hear the cages around me.

I may give this technique a run. Looks like it would work well!

I run with KOSS ear buds. I take laser lite ear plugs an hollow out the center with a hot nail an stick the ear buds in. Listen to tunes or nice silence on the roads. Life time warrany on them too. been using them for 15 yrs. Just my 2 cents.

I have also a great pair of bluetooth Motorrola that I received as a Christmas gift last year. Love them. I use them more for running than riding, but it might be an option for you.



Oh, so many choices

My 0.2 cents


This what I use, my pipes are pretty loud but they work great over the sound of the pipes.
