Hey guys,
Just wanted to put out a shameless plug for the Etymotic research ER6i Earphones. I finally decided to pay the money and try these things and I am not disappointed, took 'em for their first test ride today.
I've tried a number of different ear-buds that you can typically find in a Target or Best Buy. The noise-cancelling type, the ear-plug type, the regular ones, but nothing touches these.
With these in my ear and a FF helmet, no music, wind noise is pretty quiet and the bike is barely heard - well.. pretty quiet.
With music going at a volume a little less than what I had the volume set at for my other earphones - I can't hear my bike at all - pretty much just hear music. My other set of earphones, I had to have the volume up just to hear the music - not so with these.
Also - with the other earphones - putting on my helmet can dislodge them just a bit, which was annoying to say the least. These Etymotics actually sit all the way in your ear, so it is much harder to dislodge them when putting on your helmet.
That is my semi-trying to be- objective thoughts on them.
I purchased my pair through Amazon incase anyone is interested in them and they run about $76
Nevertheless they get a
