I have been riding the KT lately with my Ipod, using the earbuds. I love listening to Dave Matthews Band while cruising down the trail! I'm having problems with the earbuds falling out or getting tangled up with my helmet straps. Does anyone here have any suggestions for an alternative to the earbuds? Does anyone have bike helmet speakers?

Push the ear buds deep and tightly in your ear then put the helmet on. The extensions of the bud and cord will be under the straps. The straps of the helmet should hold the buds in place.

Then turn up the volume to max. (Hearing loss not an issue)

Get some!

I have an older version of the Sony MDR-J11G. Great fit, high sensitivity (don't turn up the volume to max). I'd recommend only using the right ear bud to hear those calling out, "On your left" and applying a little bit of Body Glide to prevent ear chaffing.
