Anyone using helmet speakers?
I'm thinking of getting some instead of using the ear buds. Looking for any info, good and bad, of various ones. Seems like there's a lot of options out there.
i cut a set out of a pair of head phones, pulled out the liner, and rubber glued them into my snowmobile helmet... even the slight pressure gets painfull after a few hours ... but the sound is good

I had a set of custom built ear plugs made with speakers inside them, beleive it or not they sound great and after hours of them in, no problems. I went to
http://earplugstore.stores.yahoo.net/chmisearph.html here, cost about 200.00. They send you a package what looks like soft silly putty that you insert into the ear, wait 5 min. and remove then send them in and they send you the actual molded ones. Great customer service and again, at $200 they are a bit steep in price, but I use them for any form of travel, bike, workout, yardwork (mowing lawn, ect) to flying. fit perfectly under the helmet.

When I wore a full face I got a helmet with removable cheek pads. I bought over the ear sony headphones. I took out the cheek pads and carved a space for the headphones in the foam. Ran the wires through the helmet so the jack came out the bottom and had plenty of cord to reach my ipod. Put it all back together and never had a problem with comfort. The trick is to get the speakers flush with the inside of the helmet. I never glued the headphones in, I used double stick tape. I did this to all my full face helmets and it worked great. I found the removeable cheek pads to make this task far easier.
I'd psot pics but I have since sold all the full face's.
