Do you wear ear plugs with Autocom Headset?

[Jumpjim]

Apologies for the stupid question in advance but picking up my first bike on the 5th and it's got an Autocom Active 7 fitted.

Do you still wear ear plugs with it? Or is it best to get some ultimate ears made up with speakers embedded?

I just wear ear plugs.

Personally wear earplugs but others will swear by ultimate ears, basically go for the cheap option first and see if it suits.

You'll find normal earplugs are fine... but if you want to boost the volume from your Ipod you can use one of these

Works a treat too

No problem with ear plugs and autocom speakers

I too have worn earplugs for years and have no problem hearing my music or GPS or pillion via the autocom headset. I recently got some custom ear plugs made up, and was advised that if I want to hear music then to have filters fitted, which I did and they work great.

Just remember that if you do a short trip and leave the ear plugs out, you'll deafen yourself
