Anyone have any recommendations on over the counter earbuds that are durable?

I use the semi-pro earbuds that came with the raceceiver. I wouldn't even think about using iPod style earbuds. Multiple times I've lent mine to stock car drives that use that kind and say they can't hear their radio. Every time they say it's a night and day difference. In my lightning sprint I only need to have the receiver at about half volume to hear perfectly. AJ

I'm a big fan of in the helmet setups, Steve Thomas sells/installs. I think for $50. Probably can buy thru his website as well.

I've been using the cheapo "skullcandy" ear buds for a year... They're $18ish and I can hear great.

I'm a big fan of spring for the $200, custom fit, silicone ear plugs, cause quite frankly, what's your hearing worth? Gets rid of a huge portion of the unwanted noise, makes hearing what you need to a snap, and you have to run the Raceceiver at it's lowest setting, as it's crystal clear. On top of that, you don't need duck tape to hold them in place. My favorite supplier is Dawn from Ear Everything: http://www.eareverything.com/

I agree with Bill. Ear Everything is the best.

I use the ones that came with my I-Phone and put tape over my ears.
