Default can you still hear it?

After wearing just half helmets for many years, I decided to get a modular helmet, Nolan "N104", to be exact. Won't receive it till sometime this week. What I'm wondering is, will I still be able to hear the radio, or should I think about ear buds or blue tooth. Thanks.

If I needed to hear my radio, I'd drive my car .

If you can't hear your radio, just turn up the volume until you can

And I wear earplugs to block the wind noise.

Every Harley w/ a radio that I've ever heard sounded like they were "all the way up" already.

You will still hear the radio. At least I could back in the day on my '91 Ultra wearing a 3/4 helmet.

I have the 104 myself and there's no problem hearing the tunes at all.
