[QUOTE="BigOgre, post: 1176576, member: 8712"] Warp, I went down that same road, minus the woman. Was using the [URL="https://www.plugup.com/the_S_plug_stereo_earbuds_s/67.htm"]S-Plugs[/URL] for a few years and was happy with the sound quality and isolation but they did start to hurt after a few hours. Tried the Shures as a solution and had the same result you did. A little over a year ago I stopped into the S-Plug booth at a show and was fitted for custom molds and in which she transferred over my original speakers saving me some $$. They look similar in design to the Westones from what I can see. I've been very happy with them. Echoing what Ignacio said above, what I discovered was (once you settle on a low profile unit that's not compressed by the helmet) the wire was the part that gave me the most discomfort. It seemed to irritate wherever it was rubbing on the outer ear. The Shures were nice in that I could rotate the wire up and over the top of the ear but like you found it was a real PITA getting the helmet on and off. The design of the custom molds give me the same option although I don't always bother and haven't had any problems. I've also taken to putting a small dab of neosporin on each plug which helps with both comfort and a more secure fit. I will wear a skull-cap on hot days but it does not come over my ears. [/QUOTE]
