Does anyone know what the pro teams use?
You mean 2-way radios for communication, not music players, right?
I don't have much advice , but I just wanted to make sure we knew what you're asking for. I've got a couple handheld Motorolas that got some use at car meets, but I never used an earbud with them. I suppose they would be light enough to carry in a pocket or, preferably, somehow on the handlebars (especially after 500 miles).
I don't know of extra-light 2-way radios, but I'm sure they're out there somewhere by now. I might even say that finding a set that uses standard batteries could be a help when you're away from a power source for a long time. Have you found any yet?
