I am looking for some decent in helmet speakers or maybe a helmet mounted headset with a mic.
It needs to plug into a standard headphone jack (gps, radar detector, mp3) and would be nice if it worked with a cell phone too.
does anybody use anything like this?
Just looking for reviews or sugestions here, not a safety lecture about how bad it is to listen to music on the bike.
Thanks.
As to what I use. I know it works on I-pods or any standard head jack is the speakers from the Nike skull cap speaker combination. I got them last year from the Nike outlet here in Orlando for $10 took out the speakers and double side taped them in the ear areas of my Shoei Rf-1000.
The stuff I saw at the Stealership was almost $100 and it looked almost the same! They do have blue-tooth ones as well for a lot more.
Hope this helps!

If you just want to listen to music, I use the Etymotic Research ER-6i in-ear phones. Amazing sound, good isolation from wind noise, and fit well under a helmet. A little pricey at ~$80US, but good quality sound.
I have a "Cardo" speaker mic, it came with my Tom-Tom Rider Sat-Nav. Sound is fine but the mic is rubbish. I would not use the cell-phone whilst on the move but i did try the set-up out just to see and I have trouble making myself heard to the caller although I can hear incoming stuff perfectly well.
Having said that, a mate has the identical item and he recons it's the Bea's Knees. perhaps it's a helmet thing.

I use exact same model!! They're great.
Dangerous on the bike? hogwash. Listen my friend, and listen good. Music is the window to the bikes soul . I have a philips MP3 player . It holds 20 gigs of music. Awesome piece of machinery. Get one. Or something like it. Doesnt have to be like mine. Unless you want to be as cool as me. :laugh:
