Any motorcycle rider will tell you - it's not the engine noise that gets to you, it's the wind noise. Few solutions are better for blocking it out than custom-molded earpieces, and for many folks, the ability to listen to music is just as critical as fighting the unwanted noise. When you get it right? You stick with it - like this customer who's been using our Challenger Custom Earphones for over twenty years:
Challenger for Motorcycles
This is my 3rd pair within the last 20 years, which states my satisfaction with this product. For me, these are very comfortable. They stay sealed even when talking or eating. The audio, with single drivers, is quite good for me. I get wind noise over my bike fairing, my lawnmower is a loud diesel. I set my volume with a dead engine, and rarely need to make a volume increase. These have proven to be very durable, as to the wires being snagged or sharply pulled. I'm very content.
Pros: Quality product, w/ good service if needed.
Cons: I don't have any complaints.
People always tell us: when they find exactly the right earplug, earbud, or earphone to fit their unique ears, they keey coming back, year after year. And for a lot of folks, our Challenger Custom Molded Isolation Earphones fit the bill (and their ear canals) exactly.
Challenger Custom Earphones for Motorcycle Riders
Challenger Custom Molded Isolation Earphones are our own creation, in collaboration with professional custom earpiece molding labs, and one we're proud of. Over the years, we've learned a lot about what folks want in an in-ear headphone: a fully-custom fit for comfort and security, great-quality sound for high-fidelity listening, and durability to stand up to years of on-the-go wear and use. You can get most of these features from some of the highest-end products available, like Westone's famous pro custom earphones. People love them! But those get pricey fast.
For folks who just want good-quality music while riding their motorcycles, we wanted to create a solution that brought all the custom-fitted quality - but without the big brand price tag.
These are the result.
While Challenger Custom Earphones work great for a variety of uses and applications, they're an especially smart choice for motorcycle riders. For starters, the Challenger Model MH's low-profile design fits flawlessly under any helmet - unlike non-custom earbuds that can stick out and get snagged. The custom fit ensures the earpieces won't move or fall out, so you don't have to worry about your headphones on rough roads.
Challenger Earphones' sound quality is excellent: a combination of noise blocking (thanks to a full ear canal + a good acoustic seal) keeps unwanted background noise out, while the high-fidelity drivers deliver premium sound quality. The ~25dB of noise isolation on its own is enough to kill the wind while leaving alarms, sirens, and other critical sounds audible, so even when you're between albums or podcasts, you can enjoy more peace while you ride.
Challenger Motorcycle Earphones come in a huge variety of colors and styles
Of course, our Challenger motorcycle earphones are packed with additional features that are less specific to motorcycle riders, but still of interest here. The model option is an easy one: choose MH for "motorcycle helmet" and the low-profile fit we designed especially for motorcycle riders. For drivers, make your choice of single drivers (customer-reviewed as rich and robust) or upgrade to dual drivers for an audiophile experience. Add a braker vent if you'd like clearer hearing with adaptive defense against noise: as engine noise, wind noise, traffic noise, and other sounds around you increase, so does the amount of hearing protection you get. And an in-line mic turns a set of Challenger earphones into a fully-functional hands-free headset for call and talk.
Of course, you can also add colors, glow in the dark, glitter, or swirls to make your custom-fitted Challenger earphones truly customized to suit both your needs and your personal style.
If you start using Challengers for frequent motorcycle rides, you may eventually find that they get damaged; they're durable, but nothing lasts forever. The 6-month manufacturer's warranty has your back, and later on, we offer a unique Challenger Custom Earphones Repair Service, so you can fix the problem for a fraction of the cost of a new pair if they break years after the warranty has expired. And then those repairs are then backed with another 90-day warranty, for real peace of mind. These aren't another pair of cheap earbuds you'll throw away or wear out in a couple of months.
As this customer found - Challengers are in it for the long haul.
