Bluetooth Ear Buds

Good call Crispey, my stock of ear plugs is diminishing and looking for something to replace them.
Just searched this on Amazon and came up with this for £50
Amazon LEZII Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds Noise Cancelling


If they are noise cancelling, would this be effective enough to soften the noise like a foam ear plug?

 

Just been looking at others on Amazon and there have a holder that fits behind the ear.
As you say, I don't see how these can cancel out the level of noise we need

 

Noise cancelling work well with constant sound, in particular aircraft engines.

They don't work as many people hope with everyday sounds that constantly change as by the time they've analysed the sound to counter it the sound has changed, they simply can't keep up.

 

I thought of trying these but thought that they may be too bulky as crispey says. Tried some cheap ones off ebay and guess what? They were too bulky!

 

I understand Ultimate Ear are the bees knees when it comes to biker communication
But you pay through the nose...and not wireless

I have some from ultimate ear and they are great. They fit well and are comfortable enough to wear all day whereas I used to find foam plugs painful after an hour or so no matter which type/brand.

Some things to note though:
The squidgys but don't block out as much noise as a set of foam plugs.

The wire on the soundears seems a bit delicate so I'm very careful with mine. I have had them for 7 years now so they can't be that bad. Nb: I only use them on longer trips.

The sound channel/tunnel in the soundears is quite small so could get blocked easily.

 

I've just got some custom ear plugs made with the filter in, can still hear the intercom at 70mph which is good. Cuts out alot of wind noise.

But hurts on one side so needs to be shaved down a bit, as Littleade said it also depends on the helmet.

 

I got a Sena BT10 to use as a bluetooth adaptor. I haven't used it yet so unfortunately can't pass comment or review but I'm hoping I can just put it in my pocket and not be wired to the bike.

No they are the standard filter ear plugs customguards do. The intercom is a speaker on either side of my helmet

 

Thanks guys. I have been pondering which way to go with this myself. Your advice has been invaluable but I am even more confused now than I was.
Personally I find a good pair of foam plugs to be the best to cut down wind noise so will probably look for a pair of wired with a bluetooth adapter. Any one know if these are washable though?

 

This is the exact setup I use, with this Sena Helmet mount :- https://www.sena.com/product/helmet-clamp-kit-for-earbuds/
which means you can plug in whatever earbuds you use.

 

I use these Plugfones now. Cant recommend them enough and good price too. not tried the original ones but the guardian ones are excellent.

This is similar to my initial attempts but (like your TomTom and Playstation) it wouldn't connect to my Garmin Zumo660.
