I could use something that knocks down the road- and wind-noise, but still allows me to hear sirens, horns, etc. [not to mention being on the legal side of being able to hear]. I’ve used similar units in the past, combining basic off-the-shelf earphones with custom ear molds.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p
