  |
|
Any recomendations on audio music headphones that you can wear while riding and exclude wind noise? I really get into listening to music while riding but like to be able to hear the music when bombing downhill!

Go for some noise canceling ones. Or, get the ones that actually fit in your ear, rather than the original style.

Why don't you whistle tunes instead? My fave at the moment is the theme song to My Three Sons.

skull candysmokin buds FTW
-$30
-lifetime gaurantee
- in ear style so they cancel surrounding noise and dont fall out easily
- various sizes of gels to make sure they fit your ear perfectly
- free replacement gels if you lose them
- sound bloody amazing for the price you pay

Unless they're closed back cans, you'll get a lot of wind noise. Ear muffs won't do much to stop wind nose. Ear plug styles might - but remember, you won't hear a dodgy noise coming from the bike...

I use the Oxiwin Music Strap Backpack Speakers while out running, that way I don't get wind noise and can still hear everything around me. They would be good on a bike as well I would say, but have yet to use them on the bike.
