When there's a bud in each ear, and there's no microphone on the cord, I doubt it's a phone. It catches my attention to see people driving with earbuds in their car, so I pay attention to it for the reasons I posted above.Originally Posted by Sully

Yup, I see this all the time too! So weird when I see it in newer cars and all I can think is they don't know how to hook up their ipod to their cars.

I use my earbuds when I'm in the car for my phone.. and honestly, it doesn't look like there is a microphone on mine.. and Nate, I don't have the iPod hook up on my stereo(cuz I don't want to pay $400 for it!)

I rolled up the window in my 38 year old Fire Bird (little insulation) put Slayer on LOUD, and observed as a fire truck passed by me. I couldn't hear much of anything over the Slayer. Not enough to get my attention. I may as well of had earbuds in as there is no substantial difference IMO. There must be laws regarding volume in your car that are alligned with the earbud laws for MCs. I couldn't hear shit because my music was Def -ening.

I don't use my phone while riding. I'm only interested in audiophile quality speakers for my helmet with the typical 3mm (I think it is) plug for earbud headsets. Do they make those? I'm also thinking about getting helmet-2-helmet communicators.....although the 2 other guys I used to ride with regularly are now gone.

I bought the accessory cradle for the Sena which accepts headphones.
As for audiophile quality sound, combined with the odd fitting earpieces you mentioned earlier, you're definitely going to want to get custom ear pieces made. It makes such a huge difference. They're not cheap, but they're worth it.
When I rode out to Laguna last year, I bought the smallest earbuds I could find... and I still fought with them the entire way. I had a set made there and rode just shy of 2000 miles over the next three days with no problems what so ever.
I don't remember the exact cost, but they were something like this: http://www.earplugstore.com/noname11.html
Do not put off living the life you dream of. Next year may never come. If we are always waiting for something to change...
Retirement, the kids to leave home, the weather or the economy, that's not living. That's waiting!
Waiting will only leaves us with unrealized dreams and empty wishes.
Forget the Ipod, at least until they try and outlaw this...

So should we start a pool on the manner of the first death attributed to one of these?

I wear my headphones while riding all the time too. I can' believe there's a fine for it. What will they think of next.
The only place that I have found where those work is out in the middle of nowhere. In a crowded radio market they are worthless, even the "out-of-FCC-compliance" Sirius one was worthless between Austin and DFW. The only ones that do work are the ones that plug in between the antenna and the radio.
