So for anyone researching possible buys for this purpose I have a list containing the following so far:
HiFiMAN RE-262
JAY-S QJAYS (Discontinued?)
Shure SE215
Phonak 022
Weston UM1
My budget is max $200 so obviously your choices may differ with your available outlay!
Is there any other obvious IEMs that might fit the bill everybody? Key is sound isolation (to block out screeching wind), close fit (so not pressed in by the helmet) and SQ. I have to buy sight unseen and have a preference for a slightly warm sound as I don't need to analyse my music, just enjoy it. Therefore Etymotic and Ultimate Ears models are out for me because of the SQ signature and with the Etymotics particularly they stick out so far they would be scratching my brain with a helmet on! I can't work out why they keep getting suggested, actually...
I'm leaning strongly towards the RE-262 as they have good reviews but the Westons look good too,
AND please no safety police the vast majority of you don't seem to even ride so no more giving unwanted advice on topics of which your not even versed lol. Anyone who has been riding along time and has advice for a sensible rider who is primarily after noise isolation with a little low volume background music please speak up.
Cheers
