Default headphones

I listen to my iPod when i ride but the headphones fall out of my ear from the wind. I use the ones that came with it. I was wondering if anyone who does this too what headphones you use and how well they stay in your ears. Let me know which ones work best for staying in your ears

Not that I'd recommend doing what you do, but if you should look into IN-EAR buds.

Shure makes nice ones. You basically want buds that go inside your ears...

Funny, I just noticed the advertisement on this page for Z-buds. http://www.zagg.com/audio/zbuds-ipho...FRBbagod_GFYbg

If you get anything other than Skullcandy you are wasting your money in my opinion.

Yep, I also got the skullcandy ones and they are great. They sound better, they come with an assortment of rubber inserts so you can fit them to your ears and they block out backround noise excellent. I can where them all day without my ears starting to hurt unlike the ones that come with the ipod, best $16 I've spent.

I have a set of Skullcandy ones, and their great. There's some other ones out there that look the same and advertise more noise canceling, but I cant justify $100 for headphones...

I just posted on the linked thread.....must not have drank enough coffee this morning. Anyway, I tried listening to my Sony didgital walkman the other day while riding on the freeway and it was useless. Couldn't hear a thing and it was cranked up all the way. I'd all but given up on tunes, but now I'm thinking I just need new ear buds.

Can you guys vouch for being able to hear it well, at highway speeds?

Thanks,
Ty

Yep I can hear my Skullcandy Ink'd ear buds fine at 70 mph on the highway with no windshield and my Creative mp3 player at about 3/4 volume. I also have short shot pipes on the bike which ain't exactly quiet.
The cool thing is I got them for $9.99 on sale a while back.

Good deal...thanks for all the info, all of ya! I had recently ordered a Sirius Stilletto 2 player, but had so much trouble trying to record, since it was always dropping the signal, that I sent it back. That's another thread, believe me!! Maybe I'll just get an ipod or something else. I have to admit, I was stoked about listening to the Boneyard or Octane 20, even if it would have been recorded, since you never know what great old tune was gonna be next. But at least I can have renewed hope in being able to hear whatever I end up with.
