Full face helmet speakers?
#13
My Scorpion EXO 400 helmet has two little cavities where your ears go, and I think these speakers attach with velcro. I'll probably just give them a try for $40, I plan to use them with my iPhone, and I just got a digital wristwatch that has ipod/phone controls, so I can keep the phone tucked away in my jacket and control it with the watch. I think it'll work pretty well as I never ride without my FF Scorpion.

To avoid the entire cable thing I've been using a Scala Rider connected via bluetooth to my phone. I listen to MP3 stored on the phone and, if I desire, I can answer the phone too (a rare situation). The flat speakers have velcro and the box includes double sided tape for those helmets that the earpad will not stick to. The receiver clips to the edge of the helmet. I wouldn't call it high fidelity, especially at highway speed, but certainly listenable. Downside is the battery needs a recharge a couple times a month and this is a much higher cost ($50-$100) option to gluing in pillow speakers.

I had custom molds made of my ear from E.A.R. Inc. You go to an ear doctor (might provide listing on their website) first, then have the doctor send them to E.A.R. These fit inside my ear and I don't have pain/pressure from my helmet. I've used these on trips to Sturgis and Milwaukee and no problems. Cost ~ $250.
I use these headphones with or without the helmet. Just need to turn up the volume when I am not wearing the helmet + keeps the wind out of my ears.

Speakers in helmet
As someone else mentioned I also took a pair of headphone speakers apart and Velcro them in the ear pockets and tuck the wires under the liner. Bought a small MP3 player and Velcro it to the helmet. Runs on one AAA battery no wires to mess with works great. I have used this setup for 3 years on my 3/4 helmet. This was the only reason I gave up my 1/2 helmet.

Cool! I don't spend much time above 80 on this bike, so that should do the trick. I'll be shopping for a new helmet over the winter, and I'll probably just wait until I get the new one and install these in it.
