I've run two races in my career and I've been through 3 sets of ear buds. They either fall out of my ears as I'm pulling my Helmet on or quit working from the helmet pulling on the wires. Do y'all have a certain brand or model you recommend? By the way, the ones I went through were normal ear buds not made for racing.

Most drivers put a piece of duct tape over the bud after it is inserted in ear. I don't know if there is another trick to it.

I have been using Fuze for a few seasons, the best do it yourself custom molds I have used. They dont fall out, no duct tape, and you can hear the raceceiver in the car on the lowest volume.

i always use the ones from raceiver that plug into your ears like a normal ear plug. there a little higher but well worth it.

Are you guys using the fuze buds it comes with or another brand? How do they last?

I use them just as they come and have had them for three seasons and they are holding up good.

I've used about every style out even had a custom set from racing electronic custom molded and pulled the wires out of all of them, best I've found for the price I got a kit like from speedway motors that you mix and mold your self, also I found a head sock helps you don't need duct tape then. also keep the raceceiver in your suit in front best you can ,you;lL eventually forget and throw off you're belts and rip the wires off if you mount the rc any where else. hope it helps.

I ordered the fuze set with the custom molds. Molded them today and I think I will be pretty satisfied with them. I may look into getting a head sock as well. Thanks for all the help guys.

I love these by Etymotic. They act as ear plugs also.

The MC5's are cheaper but I'd still go with the HF5's.

Here are the MC5's:

The headsock will help and anything that can keep you safer such as a fire retardant head sock is a good positive in my book!

I use a set from Wal-mart that has a plastic piece that fits around the outside of the ear to hold it tight in the ear. Works great, hear everything and don't come out when putting your helmet on.

I just use some ipod ones I bought at Walmart (approx. $15) and put tape on my ear to hold them in.
