Earbud question

[hershey]

Have a question regarding earbuds and figured someone out there would know...I was looking in my new SENA 10S manual for information but could find 'earbuds' mentioned only twice on a 'find' in the .pdf file...

So, being 'long in the tooth' (78 tomorrow), my hearing is getting worse and worse...I got the 10S Dual package and am wondering if earbuds would be better than speakers for me...had a set of Scalar Cardo and they were not very good...

That being said, there was no reference in the manual for plug size for earbuds...it mentions a 2.5 mm to 3.5 mm male to male Stereo Audio cable on a picture on page 11....no other information...is the measurement diameter or length????

The second question is, does the earbud port take a 2.5mm or 3.5mm plug???

And jeez, the prices on some of the earbuds are more than a decent Garmin GPS or Sena 10S....:sour:

IMHO , the main issue with Ear Buds are they will Block out any other sounds..... car horns , sirens etc. …. Even if I play my radio / stereo really, really loud I can still hear sounds around me …. good luck … Mike hyea:

For me, I know this about ear-buds. The older and more deaf I get, the less the quality matters. Way more important to me is the water resistance as I listen to music while exercising and sweat a pretty good bit. I can't tell the super high dollar ones from the mid grade ones.

Sent an email to Motorcycle Dave's re the size and he got right back to me with 3.5 mm plugs....:clap:
