Best Earbuds For Riding Motorcycles
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 сер 2021
- Here we test multiple brands of earbuds with the goal of finding which ones provide the following:
1) Hearing protection and isolation from wind and road noise
2) Comfort under helmet
3) Work with communications units (Cardo/Sena)
4) Good sound for comms, music, and talk radio/podcasts
Not sure if you both are trying to grow the channel, but to me if you guys could add the timestamps wether it be in the description or on the actual video, that would increase the value 10 fold. I just purchased the earbuds you guys recommended and would love to see you guys thrive. Quality over quantity all day on UA-cam. Good luck!
I can't hear my girlfriend's frequency either 😂
I have found that I am just replacing wind noise with the Occlusion affect from the engine sound unless I get an ear plug that goes deep enough to fill enough of the cavity of my ear canal.The occlision affect to me at least is even worse than the wind noise. My ears ring after a ride. My solution was to go with a Hybrid Earplug/Earbud that is meant for loud work areas. These go deep in the ear canal. Hope this helps someone.
Noise canceling is game changing IMO and unfortunately the Bluetooth versions are to bulky. I've been using the Bose QC 30 combined with a shoei neotech 2 for over 2 years on my daily ride. The battery is ziptied to the rear of the helmet semi-perminately and connected to a cardo. The only popping I get is occasional and only when riding with the visor up, it's not annoying for me TBH and well worth putting up with given the Noise Canceling. Battery charge is still similar to new, I commute 4-5 hours a week and recharge the headset over the weekend, so far I haven't run out of charge. Hope that's of help.
Would you be able to make a video on how you tuck all the wiring in / leave the earbuds in the helmet when you’re done? Do you first put the earbuds in your ear and then put on the helmet and have a lot of extra wire to deal with? I’m practicing this now and find that if I put on the earbuds prior, I need a lot of extra wire sticking out from the helmet and sometimes my helmet pushes the earbuds out of my ears anyways.
Thank you for taking the time to address this! Wife and I have been riding our bikes for over a decade (all lower-48 states, 15k miles/yr, through everything from 114deg Texas heat to 30deg Colorado peaks) with Shure SE-215 (hers) and SE-315 (his). They are both still working great (speaks to durability), comfortably (wife uses the smallest tips), and the sound is very good for comms and music. We were using them with Starcom1 wired systems (best motorcycle comm system ever - now out of business unfortunately), and now with Cardo PackTalk Bold (poor excuse for a moto comm system). All the BT systems that have taken over the market now are junk compared to Starcom1. Same as GoPro was junk compared to Contour when they out-marketed them way back when. Either way, Shure earbuds worked perfectly, and they should since they are designed to be used as musician monitors for stage performances. Any earbud that doesn't have the formable wire section and fit over the ear will be a bad choice - they must be designed (like Shure) with a shape-holding wire that loops over the ear, so they aren't pulled out when putting the helmet on or moving around on the bike in the twisties. I wouldn't even consider an IEM for helmet use unless it has this feature. And that Bose battery box... come on guys, that's rediculous for motorcycle use - another thing to manage.
Great vid. Would love to see a video about wireless headphones. I currently use Powerbeats pro when riding and the only drawback is I have to remove the headphones before removing the helmet.
Great vid, earned a sub. Look forward to more content. I was looking more for multipurpose earbuds, not for use with something like a cardo, but for like when I’m in the semi(trucker here) as well as in the helmet. AirPods Pro just don’t stay in my here once they get to the speaker pocket with the stem pushing it out of alignment. Solo rider so commas isn’t really a thing for my use case though. Great info all the same. Thanks guys!
Thank you this was great👍 can your wife not stare into the absolute depths of my soul, even when i pause the video as she stares at me she breaks the 4th wall and makes me shrivel up in terror
I use Bose QC 30. I got them refurbished. They work great. You consider them or other Bluetooth options?
Thanks for taking the time to put this together. The chart in the end really helps gauge everything to summarize everything that was tested.
I used the earbuds that came with my phone a few years ago, and radians earplug kit. The combo created a custom molded earbud set that works great on long rides.
Thank you, I've been waiting for a real world test like this for some time now!
Excellent job on this video comparison. For so many years Etymotic was the choice of m'cycle earbuds which were good in the day but not cheap.
This was unbelievably helpful, thank you! I was stuck in that review vortex you mentioned at the beginning of the vid, this helped TREMENDOUSLY.
Y'all did fantastic! Great job with the reviews.
Thanks for the review guys. Exactly what I was looking for
Thank you for this earbud test. You did a great job. The scoring table at the end was a big help.
Thanks for making this video, been looking for something for my sena. Great video!!!
Excellent job on the breakdown of these products. Very helpful and direct!
