Helmet ?
#31
I also have a half helmet that I use occasionally but the wind/road/engine and muffler noise is significantly louder even without my hearing aids. The half helmet also has a sena headset that I can use to Bluetooth to my phone and I can hear that fairly well, but nothing as well as the 3/4 helmet (with the shield dowm, of course).
Good quality headset speakers in a good quality 3/4 or FF helmet is the best way to go, IMHO.

I have always been able to hear the radio just fine in a full face. Although, I've never had the stock radio and speakers for very long with my last two EG'S

stumbled across this thread ....went on a 150+ mile ride today in our "beautiful" Michigan weather. I wear a half helmet during the summer/warm weather. I have an HJC 3/4 I wear in spring/fall cooler weather. I wore the 3/4 today, had the radio going and had no issues hearing. I could hear the road, the bike, the music.... no issues. And this is from someone who spent 8 years on an M110 8" Artillery piece, with **** hearing and I wear hearing aids (except when riding and shooting). I had no issues to hear, the helmet kept the wind noise to a minimum, and was comfortable. I am happy with mine. I can hear external noises while keeping the wind noise at bay. My input....others will tell me I don't know or I am f'd up, but 50+ years of riding experience has kept me satisfied.
