What about the noise cancelling type? Dunno how well they work on a bike though.

my lid does.

its a big image so ill leave it as a link.

The control knob on the side is twist and return so you twist is backwards to turn vol up and forward to turn it down. When you let go it springs back to the middle but oviously maintains the volume you set it too.

Similarly the centre button is a last number redial to your mobile and any incoming calls are connected to your helmet after 3 beeps (unless you press the button to cancel the connection) Microphone and sound quality is brilliant its really odd tho not shouting but still been clearly heard.

I listen most of the time, ultimate ear moulded ear plugs with monitors, through the autocom; this increases volume with increased background noise. Effectively that faster you go the louder the system gets, but if set to a comfortable level the perceived sound remains the same, sirens horns and loud cans are still audible.

It is legal and it is safe, I wouldn't want to get anyone else to do it, and would not wish them to try to persuade me not to; live and let live and enjoy the ride.

Most bluetooth systems are designed for voice clarity and are usually very poor for music. I've not heard one yet that breaks this rule. Not saying your helmet falls into this category, just summing up my experience.

The audio is brilliant, on calls adn on music (its one of the only sterio helemts available)
Its as a helemt its shockin!
Poor build quality and if your not listening to music its a really really really loud helmet. plus the pop up front button is a nightmare to push even without gloves it takes some real effort. Id not buy this helmet again EVER but if there is one, there are likely to be many.

I can't drive (legally) but hate it when mates have music up real loud, however its their car so!

As for bike, I would only have it in one ear and quietish, however prefer not to have it :)
I don't like music in the car either. :D

I like to listen to the bike, and as I am constantly watching the road I don't want anything distracting my attention. Besides, Pete and I often exchange a couple of words while stopped at traffic lights or junctions, and that wouldn't be possible if either of us were listening to music.

We won't even use an intercom. Anything we need to say can be said when we're stopped, and we have a series of signals to cover anything needing to be imparted whilst on the move.

I've recently started listening to music on long straight road jorneys and I've got to say I think it reduces fatigue (at least in my mind). I don't have it stupidly loud and I have an inline plug whch I can easily pull if I need to.

i do an hour commute each day and listen to music - it helps to get rid of the boring commute and i can still hear other things around me, but when i go out to play i dont have the music on and it takes away from the lovely engine sound
