Hear Muffs

There's a new product out called "Hear Muffs" that might provide some usability for bikers.
It's a head wrap with built-in speakers that you can plug into an MP3 player or satellite radio.
If you wear a half-helmet, it could accomplish three things, one is a solution to ear-buds falling out while riding, two is a way to reduce wind noise, and three is to provide some warmth on cold days.
The way Hear Muffs are designed, though, might be problematic with some helmets. Either you'd need a helmet about one size larger than what you'd normally wear, or you'd have to get novelty skid lid that doesn't cover your forehead.
Or, use it in a state that doesn't require helmets.

"Pretty in Pink" Ear Plugs for Pink Bikers
by Steve
Thursday, July 13, 2006
DAP World, who makes the Hearos brand of ear plugs, recently launched a new line of ear plugs called, "Pretty in Pink".
They're actually meant for sleeping, to reduce the deep-throated snores of zonked-out husbands. But it looks like it could work great for motorcycle riding too.
The company claims they reduce noise by 32db, and it comes with a carrying tube, small enough for windshield bags, saddlebags, or vest pockets.
All biker chicks who have to have everything pink ought to buy these.
