In earphones

Post by mavar1ck »

Hi, looking for some help. We have an intercom on our bike but the problem we have is after a few hours riding the speakers in the helmet start to get uncomfortable. The other problem is that we cannot wear ear plugs so at speed gets a bit noisy. The intercom is an old autocom and still works well. We have tried moving the speakers but seems comfortable for a start then like i say gets a bit uncomfortable after time. I am looking to get some in earphones but need some advice on type and where to go.

Thanks

Are they comfortable over long distances?

they come with 3 different size ear buds, so you can adjust to fit

i could have them in for hours and be perfectly fine :)

Ultimate ear. The plugs are moulded to your ears. You can oay a bit more and have small speakers inserted in the plug, the lead has a standard jack on the end to plug into your iPod, etc. the plugs also keep wind etc out but let the sound in.

See web. Ultimate Ear.
