    I owned on of these.... https://touch.trademe.co.nz/#listing/view/501408305
    It was alright for connecting to the phone and listening to music, but the sound quality was crap.
    I had to modify the helmet lining to fit the mount on the adv helmets too.
    I much prefer ear buds as I like the music to sound clear

    I have skull candy noise cancelling in ear buds. Just drop the cable down the shirt. They survived bob test #1: long wash and medium spin.
    That asides, stick your cursor in the box in the top right, next to the word "search" and follow your nose.

    I use the n-com bluetooth in the Xlite 551 and are pretty happy with the sound, although on a bike without a windshield the wind noise cancels out some of the sound. All wires are nested within pre-cut grooves in the casing so easy to install.

    A comfortable sofa and surround sound is the way to go. Music distraction has no place in a motorcycle wardrobe.

    Just received SENA SMH-10 units from www.revzilla.com and they are choice (and a lot cheaper than here) Go for the snowmobile version as the mounting kit can be configured for a boom or a dot mike.

    Most in-ear headsets fall out, except for custom molded ones, and most custom molded ones (unsafely) block too much sound. Most helmet-speakers sound like shit.
