earphones

Ok, so I lied, this one isn't called Hooray for Boobies.
Anyway, I was wondering if anyone else listens to iPod or Mp3 players on long rides or while riding alone and what type of earphone do you have??
I am currently using the kind that wraps around the ear for working out and I don't find them comfortable for hours of riding.
I had looked at the custom ear plug type but $100-$250 seems a little steep to me.

RE: earphones

Yup, I listen to music on long rides. I have a set of Shure E3C noise-isolating in-ear monitors. They are awesome. They block out a lot of wind noise so I don't have to crank to music up to hear it. I use the triple-flange ear pieces (look like the tree-shaped earplugs), and they are comfortable. They also come with 6 different sets of ear buds. I've worn them for 16 hour ride days without getting any ear fatigue or pain.

Cheers!

I just roll with the earbuds that came with my Ipod. However, I only wear one. The damn military programming again

i second these. rode from new york to sturgis last year with them. kept out wind noise and the tunes in. you dont have to blast the volume either. i used the soft foamy plugs.
