In ear monitors would be my choice, got a set last year at the Wales meet and they produce excellent sound quality while protecting my hearing at the same time.

Best bit of bike kit I've bought in years. Music is crystal clear and can be heard on low volume without having to compete with wind noise. It sounds like the music originates inside your head.
They are expensive, can be prone to wires breaking and can sometimes be uncomfortable.
I've just bought a new set from Ultimate ears which have kevlar reinforced wires and a softer compound which fits the ear canal better, still expensive though!!

Ear Monitors are the way to go. Tried all the other options Koss plug ear phones, speakers in the helmet, make your own monitors (not very successful) and to be honest wish I had just splashed the cash on the in monitors up front and saved myself the hassle. As per the posts above I find them very comfortable for all day riding, much better than disposables, and you get the music at the right volume. You get what you pay for in the end with these.

Went down the Green Leopard route having herd about problems with wires breaking with the Ultimate ears. GL use a an air tube system which is very robust and gives great quality plus no issues with comfort.

So I have some Senniheiser CX95's. Was thinking about getting the Green Leopard thingys. Anyone moved from the 'standard' stuff to the custom stuff want to comment? Not interested in sound 'quality', just audibility and external noise reduction.
