Re: Evo as main music player

I use a set of Shure earbuds (EC3 I think). But be careful, if you use the foam inserts and turn the music up to a moderate level, you won't hear anything from the outside. They work great on a half helmet too.

As far as a mic, there was a set of heaphones/mic from a company named Fox that had a throat mic and earbuds. Not sure how good it was, I never tried it.

Re: Evo as main music player

i would like to say that blasting music in the car, and listening to music while operating a motorcycle are the same thing but they aren't.

but my choice would be the sony mdr ex700 ear buds. superb quality but they are pretty good at cancelling outside noise, so don't turn it up too loud!

Re: Evo as main music player

FYI I tried a mic- it doesn't work very well because with a full faced helmet it sounds like the mike is in your mouth. But I use shure e2c headphones and it's tricky getting your helmet on but it works. Don't get an in helmet headset that's wired- unless you buy an amplifier because it just cant get loud enough to hear anything when you are on the freeway.

Good luck.

Re: Evo as main music player

cheap set of in-ear buds by sony works for me, but I am looking for "over the ear" type...
FYI if you ever went on highway with full face for more than 10 miles.... you would know what the ringing in the ear like ten hours AFTER you rode...
I wish i could have a bluetooth head phones with wired power pack ( not an issue with EVO, since phone in my chest pocket, but issue when i have my MP3 player on my handle bar)

Re: Evo as main music player

I don't ride, but I have skull candy ear buds cost about $20 at radio shack they seem like they would go good for what you are looking for.

P.s I agree stock music player blows.I'm quite happy with b tunes player.

Re: Evo as main music player
