Default Tunes for my wife?

My wife has decided she wants to start riding with me again and she likes to listen to music.
My question relates to in helmet setups that she can play music on from her phone.

I know literally nothing about this stuff and am asking for recommendations something for her to listen to music, and that her and I can talk to each other on also.
Thanks.

Simple way ,low cost is ear buds wireless or wired.
The another option would be Cardo or Senna wireless headsets. witch ones depends on how far you want to go with it.
Wireless head sets do have a learning curve.

Perhaps I missed it - what do you ride.

That response can be helpful in my providing some suggestions.

This is the answer, good bluetooth earbuds can be had for under $100, they're small, comfortable and easy to pair to a phone.

I'm like IronAss, don't know much about audio tech. Could we both (wife and I) have a set of bluetooth earbuds paired to the same phone? And would that allow us to talk to each other via the earbuds?

I don't think so, that's where something like the Sena headsets come in

How would you talk to each other without a mic?

x2 Sena or Cardo with the Mesh - Not only will you get to listen to your tunes, but also chat back and forth as needed. That's of course if you wear a helmet. If not, instead of BT Airpods try to use the BT pods that are wired together, so if they dislodge on the road, you won't loose them.
