I just picked up some Motorola S9 bluetooth headphones for a bargain £30, the sound quality is superb and they fit really well (despite looking as though my head has been fitted with a carrying handle!).

What do you folks use?

I have a Monster Truck fitted with a proper home-made West Indian style Sound System, follow me around blasting out my favourite tunes dem.

I used to use some in ear sennheisers, it made road cycling interesting cos they blocked out any traffic noise.

Off road i dont use them, i like to be able to hear whats going on

In-ear buds that seal well and fit under a helmet.

I use Altec Lansing 906 BackBeats, from reading around they seemed slightly more reliable than the Motorola's (better sealing against sweat for one...). There's still plenty of negative reviews on them though, there didn't seem to be anything that ticked all the boxes. Mind you they've been fine for me so far, sound is pretty good (good enough for me when on a bike anyway), the bluetooth connection seems pretty robust and they're still working after a couple of months use...

One speaker mounted to the handlebars, the other to the seatpost. Subwoofer in the 2nd bottle cage.

the Sony Ericsson ones that came with my phone
great sound quality isn't important for biking, anything that doesn't get in the way of your helmet/straps (if you wear a helmet) and doesn't fall out will be fine.

Sennheiser PMX70’s

No problem with not hearing traffic, but then I only have them on low(background music sort of volume) not deafeningly loud…

I had some CX300s but Creative EP-630/As sound even better, for about half the money.

Wind noise is the big issue for me it must be said.

And no, not that kind of wind.
