I just bought a pair of the Marshmallow ear buds, and on the initial test of just throwing the helmet on, after switching the foam pieces out, I think I'm going to like these. Last season I had a pair of Skullcandy Ink'd that I used only a couple times. Over the winter they came up missing, so after reading this thread, and forgetting what one's Casper said worked best, I remembered that he said JVC something so I tried the "Sport" ear buds, which have the piece that wraps around the ear. They worked really well, about half the time. Once I got the helmet on, the slight pressure against the bottom of my ear would cause them to pop out and ruin the whole deal. The Marshmallows seem to be fine for that. I got them at Meijer for 19.00$ 99 cents cheaper than the OP!
