www.headphones.com.au have a great range. i currently use "hifi man re0's" and they have done very well so far. some of the best sounding in ear headphones around and they are short enough to put a helmet on over them with a little practice.

If all else fails you could get one of these! Comes with built in replaceable speakers & mic, replaceable liner, video camera, light for night riding, some knobs to play with while sitting at the lights & only weighs about 10kg  lol

Well I could hear her over her bike, my bike and my iPod/Earmoulds on one occasion.  [cheeky] [cheeky]

Heather - just out of curiosity - how much did your ear moulds cost?

Looking at grabbing some soon.

Does anyone have any recommendations? Perhaps THESE GUYS?

They cost me $180 for an set with the wires and iPod connector about 4 years ago.  You usually find them at bike shows like the one coming up on the 19th Sep.

I have steered away from helmet hphones, as for me its less about the music and more about the reduction of wind noise (so I can hear the music and my exhausts!)

Earmould Australia are reputable. Their music monitors are used in musician circles.

The people who do things like Heathers are also good, but perhaps a little less lo-fi, but still perfectly capable. A note with these ones, they have the electronic remote from the ear moult, connected by an air tube - you may get some induced win noise with these.

a lot of people aslso rate these people: http://www.etymotic.com/

you can also try Shure, which are a well known supplier in pro circles.

good tips from spider as well..

update:

sony ($40) from JB....useless, poor range of silicon sleeves which really do hold them in and also silence the wind/bike a bit, save the ears

then...

Ultimate Ears SuperFi 4 Noise Isolating Earphones - started shorting out within 2 months - by now Amazon is full of people noting the problem.

so....I might try Goldies place....anyone got anything great lately???

Late last year I took the big step and got some ear mould Australia custom made plugs with music option.
After piss farting around with other options these things are just the business.
Once I got the Heather tip of passing the wires behind you rather than in front and keep the tubes tucked as much as possible to eliminate further wind noise you're set.
