This is what you are looking for!! If you are looking at this product, buy it!! These earbuds have become integrated into my life. They have become part of my EDC on or off the bike. I commute 4 to 5 days a week to work on my motorcycle and use them everyday. They are so comfortable I forget they are there. I've tried many other "low profile" earbuds but they have never had the right ergonomics and sat comfortably for my shape ear. No pressure points that feel like you have a peice of plastic trying to bore it's way into your ear like brain hungry bug. No more uncomfortable than wearing foam ear plugs under your helmet. All the different ear hooks amd tips included allow you to really tailor the fit to you. And MAAAAN is the sound nice!! Because of how well the fit and the job they do at isolatating annoying exhaust droning and wind noise, you are immersed in the soundtrack of your choosing. The foam tips are my preference because they are a little better at drowning out my piercing exhaust but the silicone are easier to clean and still do a great and more than acceptable job. I can make/take phone calls and the mic picks up my voice great. I wanted to test the microphone capabilities because other earbuds always failed miserably even at city speeds riding. With these, even at highway speeds I come out clear on the other side. No need to yell either. Just speaking in an "indoor" voice inside my helmet, they are able to hear me clearly. I was surprised because I literally cannot even hear myself talk at highway speeds!! The chin mic may be the thing that throws people off, but trust me....other that an implant in your head, this is the most ergonomic it gets. At first it feels wierd having it rest on your chin right under your lip, but no where else for it to fit inside the limited space. Also, I don't even notice it because it is not bulky enough where it make contact with the chin bar on any of my helmets, even with the facial hair I have. Seriously, I could not be more satisfied with this purchase!! Well worth the money because it is the best product for the this purpose I have found from trying more than a dozen other options in the past. My journey's end has brought me to slimbuds by EAOS, and your search is now over as well!!
I was unsure if these would work for me (nothing else has) because my helmet fits really snug.
And snug helmet and all, these work GREAT.
While not quite on par with Active Noise Cancelling technology, they are the best passive filters I’ve ever used AND the speaker quality is excellent as well.
It took a few tries to get it all dialed in and positioned perfectly, yet now I (finally) have quality helmet audio that works!!
Now if they would just release a slim handlebar remote that would give me control without attempting to shove a giant gloved finger inside my full fave helmet (hint, hint) this would be golden.
Easily one of the best things I’ve ever bought to improve my ride experience. I wish I’d have found these before I bought my way too quiet SENA, or my way to distorted Cardo Smartpack. That’s $400 I will never use again after these.
These are simple amazing. Best audio I’ve ever had in my ears, very comfortable, great battery. Best of all I can use Siri to direct my iPhone to make calls, change music, ask the weather, get directions, all with one button.
Noise cancelling is great, 80% as good as foam earplugs and crystal clear, deep bass audio.
I can’t comment on the rider to rider comms, I doubt they are as good as the other options, but for primarily single riding, search no more!
These ear buds fit and perform as advertised. They are comfortable and sit in my ear far enough that they do not interfere with my helmet at all. They isolate wind and road noise excellently and have great sound!
If you wear a full face helmet and are looking for a bluetooth earbud solution, look no further. As long as you can fit your finger between your chin and your helmet chin bar, you can also answer the phone without the remote (which in any case has yet to be launched). Sound is fantastic and batter life is great.

easy pairing, good quality sound, and surprisingly very comfortable! - adding pluses to my ride time instead of hassles!
Best solution to use in multiple helmets and situations the sound quality is amazing. Clear loud sound for any environment. Microphone is the best i have used of this type.
Amazing headphones, come with a variety of different bud sizes, sound is crystal clear, and perfect fit under a motorcycle helmet. So comfy I forget I have them in.
Very good and comfortable but they don’t have noise cancellation. They just block the ear
I bought this off of EAOS' website. They had a couple sales lately.
First impressions are great. Could improve. The extra controller should help.
What I liked:
Great sound. just what you would expect from in-ear buds.
Customization - the different sizes and types of ear tips and ear hooks make for a more comfortable and secure fit. I like the medium hooks with medium foam tips. the foam feels softer and more form-fitting. I heard foam degrades faster, but only time will tell.
No need to build it into your helmet. I don't like that the integrity of the helmet is lost with clip on Bluetooth units. I used to have a Cardo Scala Qz. Having the controls outside is nice. but I don't like how it feels when they're on the side. I also had to remove the earpads to accomodate for the drop in speakers. I like how the SlimBuds are fully enclosed in the helmet and so the integrity of the helmet isn't lost.
A big plus is that you can use these for almost anything else. without a helmet, for multiple helmets, or with snow gear, or cycling gear, etc.
Doubles as good ear plugs. They reduce wind noise and external noise significantly just as ear plugs do. So if you wear ear plugs anyways, you can just use these. you'll get the same benefits. No more need to turn up the drop in speakers to high volumes just to hear past wind noise or ear plugs.
What I do not like:
Less controls. they have a remote they're working on so we'll see how that goes. but the controls on the chin are only available if you're open face. I don't really use the controls I had before on my clip on unit. but I'm going to use a separate controller for these just in case. Chin controls are pretty much inaccessible with a full face helmet.
Chin mic doesn't work well with a chin curtain. If you don't use a curtain then it's a non issue. I was kinda bummed at first but then realized that the ear plugs reduce external noise enough to make up for it. Also, the chin mic needs to be adjusted almost everytime you put it on (not that difficult though).
Price is a bit high but it depends on how you look at it. If you compare it to other Bluetooth helmet setups then it's on par. If you compare it to other Bluetooth headphones it's higher end due to its unique design.
Foam tips seem delicate. I was afraid I might have ripped one a bit when changing it out. Especially when you try to fine tune the fit, you'll be changing it a few times.
Overall, I'd recommend them. Especially if you already use ear plugs or if you have multiple helmets or other scenarios to use them. They aren't tied to just one helmet. Pair it with a decent media remote and I think there aren't too many setups better.
