Re: bike radio
I dismantled a pair of headphones with big speakers and stripped them down to just the bare speakers then glued them in my lid with a hot glue gun. It was for the satnav. I can hear it with no earplugs but the windnoise does my head in. So I got an amplifier for them so now I can keep my earplugs in.
But to answer your question- no, I don't

Re: bike radio
thats quite a good idea actually, how did you fit the speakers into your helmet though?

Re: bike radio
Theres a big hole in my lid (caberg v2) right at the ear with no padding. So just them in there. Don't feel a thing.
I just tuck the cable in the flap at the bottom when I'm not using them |

Re: bike radio
But they are ****e
 Just thought after posting I would never recommend them. It has never worked and the amount of wind noise you get makes you feel like you have your head in the boot of a gary boys Golf GTI with a million Subwoofers in it. Its painful.

Re: bike radio
There are a few systems on the market that allow you plug all manner of stuff into them and then play them through a set of headphone type things in your lid.
