anyone got any suggestions?

im gonna try and go out a few times this season before it ends and i was wondering if anyone who mountain bikes has some good recommendations for buds.

right now my ipod headphones aren't cutting it, they always come out of my ears, and fall around inside the helmet.

Shure E2C's, they wrap round your ear first and if you wear them correctly then they won't fall out. best headphones i've owned under £100

Sennheiser CX-300

They're sound blockers so they fit fairly snuggly in your ear, and they sound pretty darn good too.

you wouldn't want to wear them on the road as they do block out a lot of sound, but on trails it shouldn't be as much of a problem.

+1 for Shure earbuds

honestly, listening to music when riding is just too dangerous, here anyway. You need that sense to work out what's around, it helps know if anything is behind you, or if something is in the distance etc. I know too many accidents that have happened because of it, that I wouldn't risk it personally.

I have the E3C, and the extra $50 is well worth the upgrade, having had the E2C before. I agree it's a bad idea to ride with them in though.
