Looking for earbuds.

[QcDExtreme]

Okay so this is pretty simple, I need a new pair of earbuds and before people start saying just get headphones there's a catch i need some earbuds that I Can wear in my motorcycle helmet and they need to have decent sounds quality and be loud enough to hear over the sound of the engine and wind noise any suggestions are welcome. Edit, i forgot to mention budget of $50 USD

Sennheiser Momentum In Ears seem good.

You don't want noise blocking to the extreme on a motorcycle. You're already driving the most dangerous thing on the road...

 

You want something that allows you to hear your surroundings. IEMs are not what you want.

Actually IEMs are better because the wind noise and the exhaust can cause severe hearing damage also my helmet doesn't have cut outs for small speakers

Severe hearing damage > F.O.R.D

 

Can you afford to get a helmet with speaker cutouts? Having the drivers of your audio source a bit of a distance from your ears will give you both the ability to hear your music and save some of your hearing.

the humorous thing is the only time i've ever had an accident was when i wasn't listening to music because my mind wanders a lot and music helps me focus and my helmet actually a very good helmet it's a world standard and race spec so I feel safer with it.

Well, would you like wireless earbuds? The QY8 (there's a million and a half rebrands of this thing on Amazon and they're all the same) sound pretty decent, use Bluetooth, and are pretty good all around.

i would actually but my things is i like to lower the volume at traffic lights to listen for people slamming on the brakes behind me so i know wether to bail or gun it to avoid being rear ended so i'm more looking for something wired with a remote.

Hmm OK.

Audio Technica ANC23s or 33is are both good options. I own the ANC33is's and they sound fantastic and have a volume wheel but the cable can get annoying.
