I'd like something small and compact that will help cancel out lots of wind-noise but still allow me to listen to music. I'm looking specifically at earbuds designed for this task because minimizing bulk/weight are priorities.

Any suggestions? I've found a few, but many are outside my price range. I'm looking to spend ~$50-$80.

I'm looking towards something like this:

Right now, the most appealing one I've found is Logitech's UE 350.

If I can't find anything, I guess I can always life hack my cheap skullcandy earbuds with some traditional earplugs. In this case, anyone suggest any really good reuseable earplugs that are at NRR 27db?

Those HF5 are great, I used to have them, lost them

Replaced them with Klipsch X10 which are similar and also great

I've used these with a few different earbuds and even while mowing the yard they cancel out a hell of a lot of noise and let me hear the music very well.

My Shure SE535s are awesome. I'd look at the lower end Shure SE215s. You can get them for under a $100. They look slick and the actual ear buds are detachable so you can buy new cords for cheap.

^Yeah those are great. Shures come with something very similar. I think those may be a little nicer though.

Shure SE215-CL look amazing, especially with the low profile.

I'll be asking that for Christmas!

Thanks for your help guys.

I LOVED my Shures - can't go wrong, imo

Yeah they're really the best especially if you get custom sleeves:

The newest SkullCandy Titans aren't half bad.
