Wow, perfect timing. I was going to go shopping (online) for a pair. D'ya like yours okay. How do they fit with helmet?

varment · 05-27-2011, 07:42 PM

I love mine though getting them just right takes some adjusting...

I'll be working at blockbuster tonight till 10 and tomorrow noon to 8... Stop by and I'll point you to them...

rickc · 05-27-2011, 09:03 PM

See ya tomorrow.

cascaderider · 06-02-2011, 01:11 PM

I have some too. They work awesome. I've done many a ride with them and they keep the noise out if you can get them to stay in your ears. They're $27 at WalMart, btw.

rickc · 06-02-2011, 04:36 PM

I picked a pair up yesterday. The sound and fit is good. Thanks Jason. You were right about the violet colored ones. They have a thicker wire/tube at the bud base. It looks stronger than the ones that dont have it. Cant beat the price.

varment · 06-02-2011, 06:41 PM

Yeah, it was either that or pink.. and not that I care but just couldn't do pink lol

rickc · 06-02-2011, 08:15 PM

lol I asked your co-worker (girl cant remember her name) which ones Jason bought and she said "the pink ones, tee-hee".

cascaderider · 06-03-2011, 07:04 AM

She said "tee-hee?"

varment · 06-10-2011, 05:30 PM

$3.74 now

rickc · 06-10-2011, 07:51 PM

Now i'll get a set of pink ones.

r6ken · 06-10-2011, 07:56 PM

I ended up only getting purple ones, but their well worth the harassment from my buddies

rickc · 06-10-2011, 08:21 PM

I meant purple not pink. Dang it.

cascaderider · 06-20-2011, 10:25 AM

I picked up the last two pair. One white, one pink. My daughter needed headphones so she got the pink ones.

I've used a set of black ones several times on rides.. they eventually work out of my ear enough to let some wind noise in, but until that point they completely seal out sound and give several minutes of listening pleasure. I must add that Territorial all the way from Corvallis) on Queens of the Stone Age is very nice.

varment · 06-20-2011, 07:41 PM

Have you tried the different sized plugs? they have small medium and large... oh damn thats right, no size "elitist"

cascaderider · 06-21-2011, 10:44 AM

Haha. Yes, I have. The largest ones fit best, but they back out.

varment · 06-21-2011, 04:33 PM

have you tried grip tape? staples?

If you can find a size anywhere else that doesn't back out they would probably slip right on those ones....
