Anyone know of an adapter to connect earbuds to our headset connection?  I would like to connect a set of earbuds instead of the headset, but I can't find an adapter.

I have not used them yet but have talked to them several times in the past.

The correct link is www.bigearinc.com

They were at the Bike Show last week, and are coming out with a fitted ear plug Bluetooth version too. Should work with the Zumo.

Hoist!

If you can solder the tiny little wires in the buds, it wouldn't be too difficult to connect the wires to a DIN plug and make your own.

I found this link over on HDForums. I think it is exactly what you are looking for.

I wear a 1/2 helmet, and didnt like the sound quality of the stock HD headsets. I purchased a real good pair of Sony, noise canceling in-the-ear headphones, and modified my MoCo system by cutting off the speakers, and installing a female jack to accomodate the Sony headphones. It blocks out a lot of wind and road noise while giving me excellent sound qualities. I can use the CB, MP3 player, XM radio, Intercom with very positive results. This type of mod may not be for all, but it serves and satifies my needs...

Hows the sound?  I was working on an earbud solution when I saw your post.  Use the same setup, and it sounds great except for no bass.  I think it's the radio, because when I use the same earbuds direct from my ipod, it sounds great.

Thanks for all of the replies. Aerostitch has exactly what I wanted for less than $20.00.  Bigear had a similar adapter at the motorcycle show, only they wanted $65.00 and I had to order it

I think I'm gonna hafta try Shriner's method as I would like to keep my mic setup along with my sure earbuds.

Thanks for the idea Shriner!

I understand how these will accommodate the ear bud for audio but that will leave you without the ability to transmit, right.....or am I missing something?

That was my point exactly -- that is why I think Shriner has something here...

I still am not clear exactly what Shriner did.  In the pic I see the mic and what looks like a female connector.  I am slow obviously.

I think he did this:

cut the leads to the helmet speakers where they leave the piece that clips to helmet and where the boom for the mic is attached (and cable to the console attaches)

bought a female stereo plug from Radio shack and attached speaker leads to jack.

the male ear buds then plug into the jack.
