iPod shuffle and Etymotic eR6-i earbuds. I added an auxiliary battery, too. I must say, the Etymotics are awesome. THey act as earplugs to cancel out the background noise (you don't need ear-melting volume to enjoy yoyour music) and the effect is like having your iPod hardwired to your brain. Very good product. I also have a Creative Zen 60GB, but the controls are hard to operate with gloves on. Thanks CA Stu

Sorry, no. but according to the page you linked Conclusion The Vibes are a definite recommendation. I don't know of any other IEM in the $100 category that comes close in sound clarity, crispness, instrument separation and fun, not to mention the build quality. The Vibes outclass the Etymotic ER-6 in most aspects. They might not be exactly as linear as the Etys, but they're so much more fun to listen to, the sound is more engaging. The Vibe's mids and treble are also superior to the Ultimate Ears Super.Fi 5 EB, but of course they do lack the overwhelming bass of the Ultimate Ears (or Sennheiser CX 300). Bassheads might have to look elsewhere, but for people looking for balanced, airy, clear sound with very slightly increased bass, the Vibes are the way to go. If you don't care too much about noise isolation, that is. Isolation really is their weakest point. And from Etymotic.com: Noise isolation (34-36 dB) far surpasses that of active noise-canceling earphones. That is a big selling point for me. I can just turn off my iPod and use them like earplugs if I want to.

I'm not Stu, but... Never heard of them before, but read the review, and it sound like they don't sound isolate so well, so they might be sub-par for helmet use. - Dave Svoboda, Sandy Eggo [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Not bad for $70 at all. I just can't see spending what Apple and others want. I've seen the various players out there, and there is alot of variety. I just like MP3 players period. I use mine on my bike and in the car, where I have a little adapter that plays my CD player through the FM radio. I have, for me, the best radio in town. I hear what I want, no BS. And since we don't have even one decent rock station in Houston, it's a necessity. thanks for the info! --- Mike Sturgill wrote:

Dave, The product ID has rubbed off, but these are Sony MDR series earbuds with active noise cancelling. Little tiny things that work great. I think I paid $99 for these, but they really work. The noise circuitry is in the battery case, but the mikes for the NC system are in the earbuds. If you don't have active noise cancelling you might as well forget music on a bike. The wind noise will drown everything out with regular phones/speakers and you'll go deaf with enough volume. And if you listen to heavy music like I do, and want to preserve your ears, these are great. Only limitation is not enough volume once you're over 70 mph. If only the helmet makers would realize what a market they're ignoring here... --- Dave Svoboda wrote:

Don, don't forget the in-ear style earphones that act like earplugs. They work quite well even at extra-legal speeds. I've been using Etymotic in-ears for about 10 years and am quite satisfied with their on- and off-bike performance. -- Blake Sobiloff http://sobiloff.typepad.com/> http://sobiloff.typepad.com/klr_adventure/> San Jose, CA (USA)
