Re: whats your favorite ear phone?

Re: whats your favorite ear phone?

I've just switched to a pair of Shure EC2s, they're simply the best. I use them when I'm studying and biking, so I'm sure they would fine while riding. Check them out.

Pretty much the best ear buds you can by. I use mine for running, skiing, just about anything. In your ear, even without any music playing, the function just like ear plugs. Pick yourself up a pair. You'll be glad you did!

I thought the same when I bought my pair. But trust me, it is DEFINITELY worth it. They also come with about 15 different pairs of ear inserts so you can accurately fit them to your ear canal, which was a huge plus for me. Trust us, it's worth the $100.

Re: whats your favorite ear phone?

I personally rock the JVC Marshmello ear buds. Half the price and they sound great. I use them at the rugby field during warm up to sretch and tune people in the crowd out, while riding and while working out and I love them

Re: whats your favorite ear phone?

Don't feel like breaking the bank for ear buds that stay in your ears inside a full-faced helmet? I bought a set of Skull Candy Ear Buds and they rock. They're also very comfortable and compare in sound to a set of Etymotic ER6 that I used to have.

The best thing, they're only $29.95 USD

What he said. Also, the er-6's are very low profile, so they won't interfere with the helmet liner or get pushed out of place. I've used mine for 3 years, love them.

I love my E2c's. Do a Google "product" search and you can find them for $53 and up.

Re: whats your favorite ear phone?

My vote is for the KOSS in the ear phones. Block alot of the wind, great bass and treble performance and are very comfortable(I know comfort is subjective but....). All this with a great price. I actually found mine at a local retailer. But here's the URL for you of the same ones I purchased.

Aerostitch KOSS earphones

Re: whats your favorite ear phone?

I have been using the Shure E5c
for a few years now
I wear them for several hours 3-4 times a week
when I 1st got them I was traveling & would wear them for 6-8hrs everyday
some days for 12-16hrs straight
never hurt the ears
I had planned on getting the ear mold thing
but never did

you get what you pay for

Ditto. I picked up a pair recently and love 'em. They have foam, just like shooters' or musicians' plugs, are fairly streamlined, and so far haven't come loose...even when running. My wife has had a pair for a year or so and uses hers for ultra-endurance mountainbike races. No complaints from her either. I got mine at CompUSA for around $20.

Re: whats your favorite ear phone?

I've been using Sony's in-ear plugs. They were expensive as ear plugs go, but I absolutely love them. They're comfortable, block out wind noise, give great quality play back and never cause trouble with the helmet.
