So my NE-7m's finally bit the bullet after a good several years of use. I'm now in the market for some new IEMs (It's seriously impossible for me to do rides longer than 15min without music!)
For anyone who doesn't know, an unbaffled streetbike exhaust is pretty loud, and with wind noise added on top of that, hearing can be damaged fairly easy while riding a bike. I'd much rather be listening to some awesome music damaging my hearing instead, lol.
There are several categories I must take into account when choosing the proper IEM:
1: It needs to have a decent level of isolation of some sort. The wind noise and exhaust noise while riding the motorcycle are very loud, and it's kind of lame listening to your music being muffled by those noises.
2: They can't really protrude a whole bunch. Full face racing helmets are very tight-fitting on the head, I need the IEM's to be relatively small (my ne-7m's were a good size for reference)
3: They need to be durable. The wind will make the cables bounce around, and they will not be treated super softly if you catch my drift.
4: All I listen to is EDM. Mainly Electro House and Trance.
If anyone could point me in the direction of a proper IEM that fits these categories fairly well, I would GREATLY appreciate it.
Budget-wise.... honestly I can spend up to $300 as long as they won't break easily.
