Hi all, I am now days in the pursue of protecting a little my ears. My current helmet is a HJC modular, which means that it is a bit more noisy than normal full-face helmets. Additionally, my windshield directs the airflow right above the helmet which acts like a resonant cavity. I seems to be worse on windy days, or maybe it just depends on my mood at the moment. In any case, I think it is a good idea to have some earplugs. While I am looking and deciding which one to buy, I decided give it a try to my ipod and listen some music while riding. I now some people do not recommend that kind of distraction, but I found it quite pleasant in reducing wind noise or when I am sitting on traffic. Some time ago I saw a video of some random guys who was talking about motorcycle gear, and he mentioned a couple of earplugs to listen music that at the same time have this foam like material which reduce ambient noise. He said he would use them even with no music as normal earplugs. I find that idea very attractive. Finally, the last two problems that I have are: (1) normal earplugs are very uncomfortable once I put my helmet on; and (2) I cannot control the ipod functions while driving, so for example, I either set the volume high to been able to ear something while driving in the highway, and then become annoyed when driving slow, or vice versa. To summarize, what I consider the perfect headphones (and what I am looking for), would be: - Protection against wind noise even with no music (like those earplugs you find at home depot) - Being able to listen music - Control ipod functions without having access to the ipod itself.
Does anyone have any ideas and/or experience on this matter? Thanks, Javier. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
