[QUOTE="Twigg, post: 1198197, member: 27619"] When we are talking around the subject of helmet audio, a "quiet helmet" is a red herring. You need to either use helmet speakers WITH ear plugs, or noise-isolating earbuds eg Shure 215k with the appropriate foam tip. In my experience, the SENA speakers are just loud enough to be used with regular foam earplugs, and as the earplugs are comfortable for many hours this is a solution that works for me. I also have the Shure 215s with Comply tips. These are a superb arrangement. The earphones sit flat and lock onto your ear. The noise-isolation is excellent. All outside sound is muted to a dull background sound, and the SENA never needs more than half volume for crystal clear sound, with decent bass, at any speed. The SENA helmet speakers are pretty awful without earplugs. They are harsh and tinny, no bass and sound downright nasty. Add a decent set of earplugs and they are transformed into a well-balanced unit that sounds decent, for what they are. The only problem with the Shures is that I can't wear them (yet) for days on end, a problem that probably would be solved with custom ear molds ... at a high price. [/QUOTE]
