I actually prefer to wear ear-plugs on longer trips for just the reasons you stated.

Thanks

Check your state regs first... admittedly its tough to get caught. Some states allow ONE earbud, some NOTHING at all in the ears (MD is one) but helmet speakers are allowed.

visit the American Motorcyclist Association site for info.

Not the first person I've directed your way...

JVC "Marshmallow" ear buds. Cheap, good and block ambient noise.

Shure SE110 are pretty good for the price, much better than the stock stuff.

I used to use the cheap Sony earbuds but ever since I started using stuff like Ultimate Ears (Super.Fi 3 Studio is great at the $80 but kinda awkward to put in but comfortable) and Shure I couldn't go back to the cheap stuff. The two companies also offer 2 year warranties for their stuff and they are really quick about shipping you a new pair. Shure has been really great without asking what happened to the headphones, just what is wrong with them. Ultimate ears has a replaceable cable ($20) so I never really have to send them back.

Use in only one ear though, they block out most sounds except for horns.

I personnaly don't like radios of any kind on a bike. I get enough of that on a daily basis.
The sound of the wind and the pipes is enough for me. Clears the head, especially when it comes in one ear and out the other.
