I had custom molded ear plugs with speakers made a few years ago. Only way to go, you get good external noise reduction and can listen to the tunes at a normal volume.

I've thought about getting those at the M/C show but wonder if they can be made to work with the different headsets out there like the Scala Riders & such.

Since I got the new Scala Rider this winter I have only used it connected to my IPod a few times and even on the new one the sound quality sucks.

That's good to know.  Maybe I'll look at other options before upgrading to the newest version.

A couple summers ago Vander told me about an in-line amp you can use with the ipod/Scala rider combo that worked well for him.

I should see if I can find that link again.  I remember it was pretty cheap & easy to use.

You can borrow mine sometime and try it out if you'd like to hear it for yourself
