[QUOTE="Aasland, post: 969322, member: 14773"] There seems to be some misunderstanding ... I realize I'll never be able to ride without earplugs unless the wind is actually blocked. The V-Stream (in the up position) + spacers + Bell RS-1 comes really really close, but that's just too damn hot on a warm day and takes much of the fun out of motorcycling. Even when standing in clean air (or on the SV or VFR) it is still too noisy to go without earplugs. What I'm trying to find is a solution which allows me to listen to music or podcasts comfortably. The Westone CR-1's block about 25 db of the wind noise and with NO windscreen (a very cut down stock one) in smooth air, that is sufficient. But the Cal Sci tinted shorty, although there is no buffeting, is a bit too noisy. Everything else I have tried (short of the V-Stream) is too noisy. In the past I have used Etymotic ER6i's with my hearing aid post aural canal (PAC) tips and that blocks pretty much everything, but they are hit'n'miss to put in and get uncomfortable after a couple hours, and after a day the tips deform (I have rectangular ear canals). I've got a set of custom earplugs which also block a lot of noise, so much that I can't use the Sena speakers. Thus, the CR-1's which attenuate 25 db are the best thing going at the moment .. if I can find a shield which delivers clean and quiet air. [/QUOTE]
