Does anyone have any clever tips on how to keep the bd things in?!
Wear a thin beanie over the earphones under the helmet? Would only work if it's cold out… I have to adjust my ever-so-expensive Ultimate Ears earphones quite often when I'm walking along (if you lose the seal you get naff-all bass and that is rather annoying!) so couldn't imagine being anything other than distracted/annoyed by them on the bike. I'm too much of an audiophile to ride along not being able to hear each note. Triple whine will do for now!
the Squidgy ones ith monitors are even more ever-so-expensive, but in for a load of money....in for a pound.

that latest model has a direct connection for an MP3 player that negates the need for an fm transmitter for my ipod

Seinheiser- not sure of the model, but they were about £40. The company make hearing aids too, & so far they are the best headphones I've ever used.
They do block out alot of outside noise & wind noise- if you pick your ears lots & have reamed out holes the size of your manly digits, 3 sizes of rubber bungs are available to stop them falling out.
They give great bass without distorting.
I only have my MP3 player on very low, which lets me hear the bike over the music.
ETA, but have turned it up to 11 when RATM comes on. It's not good for your life expectancy, as said above, you'll die to death

Sorry if that pisses you off.

I've just fitted on of these to my C3. I've not had a chance to try the VOX dialing with my iPhone but the fit and general sound quality is superb.
That looks pretty fantastic, I imagine it costs a fair wedge though?Andy XRV said:

Have you done bike to bike yet ?

I've not had a chance to try bike to bike but I have used it with my iphone & Satnav and the sound quality is the best I've heard. Bear in mind that not only is the C3 very quiet anyway, there's a pre-formed indentation for the speakers so getting them in the perfect position for optimum performance is simple.
At first I did find it a bit tight around my neck but now it's bedded in it's fine. I still need a bit of practice using the controls but I'm getting there - winter gloves don't help
I'f you want to try mine before you commit drop me a mail - I'm sure we could sort something out.

yep - that's what I said.
Had phone conversations when travelling at decent speeds and the mic cuts down wind/engine noise so that anyone calling would not really know you're on a bike.
