I ride with earbuds most of the time, gotta have my tunes and hate the windnoise off the helmet straps on the highway.. They help to block the wind noise very well and leave the nice low drone of the exhaust, I tend to feel less fatigued after a ride because of it.... I've found the skull candy ear buds work pretty well for the low cost.. I love to ride, but dont think I could ride long distance w/o them.

I wore a full face during the test. It's actually pretty loud and I had no trouble hearing at all.

I can't remember the last time I wore a full face helmet and wife wife for sure has never ever had one. I think a full face would freak her her out.

Yeah, I hate FF helmets. I had it from my dirt biking days and the motorcycle course here required one. I knew it would look better for the test anyways so I wore it. That was the last time I wore it though. My Half Helmet is the ****!
