Awesome custom moulded earphones

[Guest]

Well, i've been looking around the net for some decent headphones i can use in my helmet, started looking for some like those hearing aids, you know where it fites in your ear, and is flat on the outside? So putting your helmet on wouldn't push it out...

Actually found some!!! But for a pretty ridiculous price :/

£170!!!

Anyways, if any of you are pretty rich, or REALLY want something good... here ya go!

I'm pretty sure there was someone on here last summer that got some D.I.Y. ones.

You get enough rubber stuff to make 3. 1st one to practice and then make 2 for use.

Well, i think they made them and put some i-pod speakers in before the mould set.

I always struggled finding some that didn't hurt when wearing with ya lid!

In the end i got like a pad that velcros to the inside of me lid! Don't even know its there!

[Guest]

Well, i still feel those pads pretty bad :/ They have a fairly big speaker in them, sharp edges e.t.c..

TC, any info on those DIY ones, please do let me know xD

Hi Simon,

I don't think those earplugs are what Cobbz is after, sounds like he wants to listen to music rather than just block out wind noise.

Can't see why people want those DIY ear plugs, the NRR is 26 whereas a decent set of disposables are up around 33. Maybe I'm lucky and the disposables I have fit my ears well?!? Moldex Sparkplugs if anyone are after a decent set, I've tried a few and they are the best so far.

And for all those not wearing ear plugs when riding, that ringing in your ears isn't normal or healthy, unless of course its just the phone

if you read the original thread, the OP fitted earphones into custom moulded earplugs, isn't that what Cobbz is after?

 

Well bought some and they were delivered today. I have moulded them and stuck them in my ears with an old pair of IPOD Headphones squiged in there...

They are currently still in my ears as they need 15 - 20 minutes to dry.

I can hear next to nothing. I have had to turn the TV up to 3 times the normal volume and I still can only just hear it.

Cobbz, after much nagging from phatdad, I tried my flat speaker things under my helmets lining. Works a treat

[Guest]

cheers everyone for the excellent info

There was someone at BMF tailend show last year who was selling these things, was something like £110 for the earplugs and £135 if you wanted a headphone fitting in it.

Their 'selling point' was that it has some special material in it that only allows you to hear voices through it

What helmet do you use Dan?
