ff helmet. no they don't cancel noises. they muffle the pipe and wind sounds but, i'm 100% aware of what is going on around me. they do the job of ear plugs.

I wear earplugs because of the wind. Music on a bike is distracting to me.

So I'm heading out today to buy a set of skull candy method wireless. Better reviews online and a better battety life than the smokin buds I was originally thinkin of buying. Plus the collar has less weight on the back so its more likely to stay put while riding. I'll let y'all k ow how they do. After the weather warms up a bit of course. Barely above freezing here today.

When Sena introduces their full face in March, I’m buying it too.

Cheers for this thread! because of it, I checked my Biltwell Lane Splitter for fitment with my cheapo Samsung earbuds and it works waaaay better than my Simpson ever did without pressing on my brain

I bought the Biltwell to put a Sena 10R in it and now I think I just saved myself 200 bucks. I only listen to music when I'm on long trips on the interstate, doing 80+ for a distance, and you can't hear the speakers for **** anyway at that speed

I prefer to inflict my taste in music on all that are around me.
