For those of you that like to listen while you ride, here is your handy guide:

Doesn't have to be music.  Can simply be GPS navigation.  But point taken.  Wink

Looks like my home states and all of the day ride states are either no law or single bud friendly.  I don't think music is a distraction.

How about cell phone headsets?

Here is a site which shows states which ban the use of "hands on" cell phone use while driving a car (i'm going to go out on a limb and assume they include motorcycles....)

http://www.iihs.org/iihs/topics/laws/cellphonelaws/maphandheldcellbans

Or is the OP specific to motorcycles?

What do you guys use to listen while you ride? I can never seem to get the speakers(ear buds) to stay in after putting my helmet on.

I use jvc marshmallow ear buds similar to this

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0036RDVRI/ref=psdcmw_172541_t2_B005FDOG6G

I can't find the exact pair I have. I think they changed the design. They're about $10 anywhere. The new design sucks. The foam is shorter and much softer so they don't want to stay in.

I take off the foam and flip it over so the larger end goes into emy ear first. Helps keep them in place.

Keeping them in while putting a helmet takes practice. I've been doing it for probably 10 years.

When I do listen to stuff, I use etymotics MC5.  They plug the ears really really well.  The benefit is twofold: 1) noise reduction of wind, engine, etc. 2) you don't have to turn up your music so loud to hear it, so it's not blasting in your ears.

http://www.amazon.com/Etymotic-Research-Noise-Isolating-Earphones/dp/B003S3RFIQ/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1438177552&sr=8-2&keywords=etymotic&pebp=1438177555768&perid=17AYTR5MZ2A9G7BGVBS4

I found the mushy mushroom shaped tips they provide worked better than the concentric circle ones.

Those look like a great solution. Just bought a pair. Thanks!
