I just posted links to the songs on youtube since I had my playlist there handy. I use my MP3 player with some very high quality earbuds called E2C by Shure ($99, now discontinued and replaced by even better ones.) They're 18Db sound isolating earbuds, but loud sounds like sirens, horns and such can be heard easily, Even people talking nearby without removing them. It just muffles really loud outside sounds, and in a fairly noise free place like a burger bar, you only hear the music. They've got separate bass drivers and really have an outstanding wide dynamic range. They have some $399 sets that compare in sound quality to professional studio monitors.

Cannot ride with them in FL, Florida has a Law and it's illegal to use headphones, or earbuds on a bike, motorcycle OR even in a car(or truck)!

Tried those, along with dozens of other sub$50 sets….sound quality isn't even close. :)

 Under $50….Decent, but they all have in common_ bass lacks punch, highs sound "tinny", mid range slightly "muddy" and not well defined.
EarPollution Plugz $8
EarPollution Evolution $18
EarPollution Timbre $27
Klipsch Image S4    $46
Sennheiser CX 300-II   $24
Sennheiser CX 400-II   $29
Sennheiser OCX-880   $45
Sony MDR EX38IP   $25
Altec Lansing MZX606  $34

$50-$100…traits in common- better bass response, mids well defined but still not defined, highs very good.
Shure E2C $99
Shure SE215 $97
Beyerdynamic Mmx 101 1E $86


They finally settled on these models, all of which had good bass, mids AND highs. Very high quality sound, but out of my budget….
Shure SE425  $299
Shure SE315  $199
Denon AH-C751 $199
Yamaha EPH-100 $150

Even at this level, they still do not compare to studio headphones, and certainly not studio monitors, but at least they are highly portable.

I've got a lot of friends in the music biz, about a dozen in bands, two that run sound systems in clubs, and one professional sound engineer who makes his living cutting bands music for release. All of them let me try out their failed products they bought while searching for a good as you can get for under $200 earbud they wanted to use with their MP3 players. I guess I'm kinda spoiled on good sound. :)

I like a wide variety of music, what can I say? LOL
I only like about 3 or 4 of their songs all told, same as with most bands I listen to.

I know what you mean. I rarely ever buy a cd and like more than o few songs off of it.I heard a song once by Blitzentrapper and loved it.Bought the cd and the rest of it sucked BIG time. I do like the Doors sing "People are Strange",though.But I think that is about the only one.Sound quality is nice,but i just cant put out $200 for ear buds.Too each their own,though.Its one of those- good parts ain't cheap & and cheap parts ain't good- type things. I'm used to cheap parts

I couldn't pay that much either, that's why I ended up with the $99 set (which I got on sale for $79) and the sound quality is WAY better than the iPod ear buds or most other cheap ones. WELL worth it IMO.

I do not listen to music while I ride my motorcycle. Too dangerous.
I need to hear , see and smell everything.

I do not have a song in my head . I am listening to the engine.
I suppose that is a song/sound.

If I made a video it would only have the sound of the engine. Nothing else.

Matter of fact I do not like videos that have music, and you cannot hear the engine.
To me its all about how the motorcycle sounds and performs.

  I've never used any music on any of my bikes while riding,but different rides and destinations will bring a song to mind,but once I'm on the road all my senses are open to everything around me ,and that is the best sweet music there is and why I ride , God has given within ME senses that can only be found on a bike for me.
