    Hi,

    Does anyone have any experience with helmet headphones? I get buckets of
    wind noise when riding and have not found any headphones that can be heard
    at 80mph through ear plugs. Is there an ear plug / headphone combo that
    does the trick?

    Sony headphones, stripped from the mounts and mounted inside the helmet.
    I can happily hear the CD/Minidisc/Radio at 100+.

    Koss Plugs. They have ear plugs attached to them and a little tube that goes
    thru the earplug and transmits the sound. Good Bass. The earplugs are
    replaceable and I would replace the standard ones straight away with some
    decent ones. Screwfix also do a cheapo version but I've not tried them.

    I use Autocom ones that fit inside the helmet with Velcro.

    Hmmm... anyone know how these compare to those Sony Fontopias(sp?) that
    were mentioned a week or two ago?

    I have the ones made to measure with the holes for 'Walkman' type
    headphones. They're great. I had some that they do with thier own (microbud)
    headphones and earplugs combined, generic rather than specific for my ear.
    They were'nt half as good and the sound reproduction was poor given the
    price.
