I've read a lot of posts on riding with earplugs, and it seems the consensus is that it is hugely beneficial. What I am wondering, is if you were to use a set of noise isolating earbuds (the type that conform to and fit in your ear just like an earplug, like this ) and listened to music at a reasonable level, would this still help prevent hearing damage? I would think it would, since despite them playing music, they still block the wind noise. Anyone here ride with something like this?
Here is an example of what I'm talking about.
