Np. I'd go for the Nocs but they're £44. Only because I've heard good things about them. When you're looking at the £10-£20 mark they're all going to be very similar and it's about ergonomics. My ears are a nightmare for buds, but I have the Shure ones and once moulded, they fit really well. Due to the shape (getting a tight lid over them would be fiddly) and price though I haven't recommended them to you.

im mainly looking for a good fit earphone, something that will block out wind noise im not too bothered about the music quality as alot of it is punk and to be honest some of the recordings are st.

We have a winner. I have these and they are fantastic little buds.

hmmm, ok maybe I’m needing to stop being tight. looking at these and then looking at the £20 ones there is clear quality different aesthetically anyway. Are these really that good?

Does it get rid of wind noise completely?

Is the remote easy to use?

Is the sound quality much better?

i think skullcandy are a misse pile of st. went through 3 pairs in about 6 months. It appeared to be the wire inside the rubber sheath (t1tter) splitting at the headphone jack.... Bought a pair of senhesiers with an l-shaped jack and no such problem!

what I have been told when looking at ear plugs, even the sales person said stay clear of them

Personal choice I know but I couldn't contemplate wearing haedphones on the bike, I want to hear everything that is going on around me...

Same here, to be honest. I listen to the radio in the car but I think I'd find it hugely offputting on a bike.

No, but enough so that its not even an issue.

Yes

Is the sound quality much better?
I think so. So do many others I have these for the gym and work. Bose over ear cans at home, and there isn't a great deal in it.

do they fit under your helmet easy?

how long have you had them, mines die after a year normally.

I used these every day for 6 months commuting with no worries. Stopped commuting now, but they're still going strong in daily use. Sound quality is ridiculous for the money. You also get a pack of a million different buds, so you can find just the right ones to fit your ears. Can't recommend them enough! Tom

PS:

You can get them £5 cheaper if you don't mind them in a ghey colour:

Not a clue, I'm not a biker.

Had mine two years now, still look like new and going strong. You get replacement rubber buds as part of the deal which is nice.

Im confused, you said it keeps wind noise out but your not a biker.

Think these are the ones im going for anyway the reviews seem ace. Just hope they get rid of the wind noise on the motorway.

TDK EB900s, they are foam tip'd (like ear defenders) so expand to hold in your ear properly and keep out noise.

I use mine without music on sometimes just for the reduction in noise.

I paid £10 for mine on eBay, but they seem to have gone up in price a touch:

I cannot rate these highly enough, they are the first in ear buds I have ever had that don't fall out and sound awesome.

I need something with a remote its a nightmare without one and it would be nice to turn it down sometimes on a nice road just to hear the daytona.
