Earbuds recommended for use with helmet ?

[GTP]

(Yes, I used Search first.)

I have typical ear buds but they get knocked out when I pull on my helmet. Perhaps I need the style that hooks behind my ear.

Anyone with experience on this? Looking for ideas and suggestions.

When I was at the track all of the time I looked into this as well. There are a few custom molded earpiece ear buds for just this. Check out Harris Race Radios. They are wired and not really cheap.

I should probably just try this first.

So far these are the only things that work for me.

I did a NASCAR track event some years back. They let you drive around a small oval track in retired NASCAR cars (is that how you would say that?) and they have a coach talking to you through an ear piece. They put tape over our ears to keep the ear bud in. Maybe that is the standard...

I have the same issue - I'd like to at least try and hear the driving coach in my catalyst, but my earbuds never stay in with my helmet on.

Yep, for my Catalyst...

I've used products from Sampson for many years. They have many options available here:

Pricing is not terrible and their customer service is exceptional.

The new bose I think fit pretty tightly to the ear. I have Jabra's and they definitely stick out. In a pinch I think I could get them in with my helmet on, but I honestly haven't tried. But also I like hearing the car noises, because sometimes there is a sound that shouldn't be there, and my earbuds would cancel out that noise.

The best solution is a helmet with coms in it. I bet those are cheap LOL

I do endurance racing. Communication between driver/paddock/spotter is essential. Anything we need is here:

I've had the same set of foam earbuds for 10 years and a helmet mounted mic that's been transferred between 3 different helmets. Their stuff is reasonably priced and guaranteed.
