Bad324 Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 I can hear my stereo fine with ear plugs in.If you could fab up a stereo on my bike with the vision I have, it would be my favorite bike mod ever. Seriously, its half the reason why I want a Street Glide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BDBGoalie Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 Ear plugs. Music is a distraction. I'd rather be able to hear everything around me. I'm more into paying attention to the corners and the morons around me anyways. My .02c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm more into paying attention to the corners and the morons around me anyways. My .02cYeah, I can still hear everything around me. Everything important anyway. And believe me it makes those long rides way more enjoyable. Have you ever ridden to the west coast in 3 days? It also psyches me up for attacking the twisties listening to some rammstein or disturbed, daft punk, even some bad meets evil...If you'd rather listen to the drone of your engine on the freeway for hours have at it, nobody's stopping you. If you'd rather hear the wind noise in your helmet, cool... not sure why you're preaching at those of us who enjoy some music with our 2 wheeled fun.

Jst2fst Posted June 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 I'm gonna say this riding with music made the ride from Columbus to NC earlier this moth more variable. Considering we were in the highway for 12 hrs so this was a plus for the ear buds in plus an easy way to pass the time on long rides on the bike.

Riding a sport bike kills the other side of the long distance riding. I can see going insane listening to the exhaust for three days though.

TheBrown57 Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 I just got and Interphone F4 for my helmet and it's awesome! Has low profile speakers and is Bluetooth. I don't crank the volume, just enough to hear it and I know the songs, it also has a feature that when you start going faster it gets louder and vise versa which makes it nice to have it at a good volume while in the city but when I jump on the highway it ramps up the volume.

Done that west coast in three days(or less) thing a few times myself, and will admit, I wished I had music at times. I don't think I'll go with ear buds as I see how bad my kids are about turning the volume up a little at a time until they can't hear what's going on around them, but either an old mans bike with a stereo, or in helmet speakers are in my future.

namtugeoj Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 I have a radio and speakers on the handle bars for my cruiser. Love me some music. Always seem to have it on except when the old lady is on the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05candygrand Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 I just ordered these a few days ago. I'm SOO tired of earbuds slipping out. I thought about trying the helmet speakers, but I was worried about hearing them at higher speeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad324 Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 ^^do you have a link? If I could ultimately find something that is an ear plug for wind noise but listen to music through my world will be complete! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magley64 Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 (edited) I also added charging ports to the left speaker to charge my phone and my bluetooth adaptor... Edited June 21, 2012 by magley64 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
