Skull candy ear plugs. There's different ones and I use the $15 (can find cheaper) ones. Just cram them in good and pull the helmet straps away from your head when putting on your helmet.

I found mine at TJ Max (discount store) for $10.

Same here; I use the Smokin Buds ones (they're about $30 at Best Buy, but they're slightly lower profile than those). We tried several different types and styles to find ones that worked under the helmet, and these are by far our favorite (even over a more expensive Skull Candy model).

I also like that they've got a volume control slider on the cord, so if you pull up to a light and trying to communicate with someone you're riding with, or when you're dismounting and don't have your helmet off yet, it's easy (even with gloves on) to adjust the volume.

Same ones I use. Although I didn't get them for that price. I'm jealous!

Most women are jealous of me.

I don't pay much on ear plug types cause they just get pulled on constantly. Either the cord will pop off one of them or you just wear them out.

I'm looking to get a custom molded set this year. My ear canals are an odd shape/size and I haven't found anything yet that even comes remotely close to fitting.

My husband got me a custom set 3 years ago. They have been great!! I recently had to get one repaired (jerked it while running) and while it was $50 just for the repair I still wouldn't trade them for anything! They stay in when I run and they don't hurt under my helmet while riding.

I had the Koss ones and even though they sounded great, anything that isn't in the helmet or molded to your ear hurts.

Get the best you can afford, then you haven't wasted money on cheap ones first..

i also use skull candy buds. i really like that they come with multiple sizes of inserts (use the smallest set for max helmet space)
great isolation though, i could listen to classical if i wished which with my exhaust and wind noise was a non option with previous sets
