Do these sit flush enough against the ear for use with a motorcycle helmet?

Not for me, they did not. Even with the narrowest tips on them they did not fit very well.

I wear my helmet with them in, but it is tight. I have been pulling the earphones out before taking the helmet off to because it is painful to do it the other way. I satisfied with the fit and not looking to buy another set that might be more of a flush fit.

If you insert them far enough they will. I had to superglue the tips on so they wouldn't come off when removing from ear canal.

sorry cannot say, they sounds so bad compared to the skullcandy they were not making the ride, sent them back

I don't know about how flush they sit, but I would be very cautious in using these while driving. When properly inserted in the ear, I couldn't hear any outside noise, even my wife talking to me when she was sitting next to me. But I'm definitely not a biker, so I would have no experience as to how they would affect sensory input.

Hi.It does not have a very tight fit. There is a lot of space open between my head (not ears) and the pads. The pads are actual material though. I can work with them on for a few hours and I have very sensitive ears. For a tight fit you would need a head like a pumpkin. Happy with these.

I would recommend behind the head. Yes they stay in ears very well. I really like them for the price.

Yes, they're fine at the range. That's what I bought them for. But, I always use them them with ear buds. The slim profile is nice and theydon't get in the way. But, the "clamping power" of the headband really puts pressure on your melon.

Yes. It is essentially designed for use with half-helmets. Plug in your favorite ear buds and you are set.

I don't ride so I wouldn't know. The only issue I can think of is that the piece that you use to handle the earplug may rub against the helmet and that would be annoying. I use these when playing drums.. I cannot use them with headphones. I believe this piece is essential to the sound dampening so they cannot be removed.

I use them in my motorcycle helmet and they just sit in the ear pocket just fine, if your helmet isn't equip with this I'd say just get some velcro for it.

These are my son's, he says they surround his ear, not just sit on top. Hope that helps

Comfortable. Didn't use in a motorcycle helmet but I can' see a reason why this wouldn't be fine. I used mine doing construction work -all I could hear was music. The cord which connects the two buds wrapped over behind the ears and back around to the front of my neck. The fit was adjusted by tieing a poachers knot in the middle. If you are going to talk, you probably should wear a full helmet with sheild. Otherwise, should work great. I used to ride.

Not very well. I have a Giro and when I try to use these they bulge out onto my ear uncomfortably. They would fit better if the Giro had a larger cutout in the foam for them, but since I'm not willing to doctor up my helmet's foam with an exacto knife I do not use them in that helmet.

They might fall off with the motorcycle vibration. Im using wax earplugs now and they are excellent for sleeping and they can be mold to adjust each individual ear passage. Try those.

Yes, to anyone, if you can stick headphones - they fix with Velcro. That is, to helmets that do not cover the ears, may not be suitable.

I tie wraped the belt clip of the radio holder to the center of my motorcycle handelbars. The headset has a quick reliece that easaly detaches from the radio. The headphones fit nicely into the helment as well behind the ear cutouts in most helments. Great setup. Well worth the money. Hope this helps.

Simple answer is no. The cushions press on the edges of the ear. That said, they are very comfortable.

My ear plugs do protrude a little. In my full face helmet I have space between the ear plugs tube and the helmet padding. It does not bother me or feel uncomfortable. However, putting on the helmet with the ear plugs already in was a little bit of a chore.

Of course it depends on the size of your ears!!! They are designed to fit over the ear.

I wear a half helmet and they fit inside without touching the earflaps (straps) so I'm pretty sure they'd fit inside any helmet; I wear a sort of headband under my helmet (goes over my ears) to cut down on wind noise so with the headphones in, you can hear everything quite well. As for using them to talk on the phone while riding, they are amazingly clear. You can hear the other person pretty clear while driving around town but while riding at highway speeds of course you have a lot of wind, road, and motor noise so you have to pay attention to what they are saying. The microphone on these headphones is amazing; the other person can hear me just as if I were on a regular phone. I love mine and use them all the time; you cannot beat the performance for the price. I have a phone holder clipped onto my handlebars so I can answer the phone and change music, etc and they never lose connection. Hope this helps
