what do you guys use for earbuds inside a full face? I have an icon domain 2 helmet, and everything I have tried seems to amplify the wind noise... it is very frusterating!

skull candy. they are pretty cheap, somewhere around $20. they sound really good, and the stay in my ears once you figure out which size and you need(come with multiple sizes).

and they are the first ones ive actually been able to turn down my ipod and still listen to it.

ive had alot of friends try mine and go buy some.

skull candy inked. pretty good for the money. had a pair of senheiser (sp?) but were a little pricey for the amount of abuse they were gonna take.

I use earphone made by CEP. They are military grade inserts designed for use under helmets. They are sound isolating and have a decent sound. The price is not to bad. They have replaceable foam inserts.

Give them a call and ask about their motorcycle specific headphones.

Koss gets my vote. I don't ride with music though.

I've been wanting to try the EarFuze do-it-yourself custom-fit headphones. I don't ride with earbuds on the bike because I wear earplugs, but if I could find a good combo that didn't hurt my ears when I put my PROPERLY FITTING helmet on, I probably would.

Another vote for Skull Candy.. the medium sized rubber ear piece works very well for me.

Jandj_davis, the ear-fuze ones actually work very well. The cords are a bit weak and I've destroyed a few pair, usually when pulling the helmet off, or getting the cord snagged on something when not paying attention. They are comfortable and do block a decent amount of noise. Recently had a 'real' pair custom made at the NY bike show. Only ridden with them a couple of times so far (lots of snow this year) but, what a difference, indestructable cords (carbon fiber or some-such) and better noise reduction. Expensive at 200 dollars, but I'd already gone through 3 pairs of the fuze unit in two years... at 40 bucks a set. The math made sense finally. Can't remember the brand though...

I have a pair of the SE210s and an older pair Se110 or something like that. both sound fantastic and block outside noise equal to foam ear plugs. I use the "barbed" silicone earpieces.

Marshmallows. Still the ONLY earbud I've ever worn (I've bought quite afew pairs) that completley block out all other noise. It's their memory foam ear pieces.

I think the Skully Candy ear buds are fantastic as well.
