How is someone suppose to protect their ears from wind and noise and still listen to music and use intercom? I recently started using foam plugs because I starting getting mild tinnitus but always liked the idea of using intercom to talk to passenger.

Awesome. That's the same experience I have when I have music playing through my fairing speakers while using foam ear protection. Good to know. Thank you.

I also went with a Schurbeth C3 Pro, had a Nolan N-43, once I started using the C3 I really liked it I also purchased a M1, dependant on the time of year and weather on which one I'll use. Both were fitted with the J&M headsets.
My current lid is a HJC CS14 and it too has gone unbearably noisy after 2 years, even with ear plugs it makes riding a bit unenjoyable 
I have a C3 Basic in my watch list in eBay but haven't got around to buying it yet.

I have two (2) SR1s and a C3 Pro for myself and the wife. I'm not one to listen to music/radio/talk while commuting-watching out for the cagers/drunks/distracted drivers takes ALL of my attention, but there are no finer helmets on the market. Always buy a little tight, they mold to your face and head after a few wearings (especially the SR1's with their "race fit").

Honestly right now it is super tight. They said it should be for while it breaks in. Tighter than I normally would buy actually. So here is hoping!!
Something they told me about after I bought it is that if you crash and send the police report to Schuberth they will sell you another one for 1/3 the price!!! That's pretty legit right there.
Also, I told them I wanted one but there was no way in hell I was going to pay 770 bucks for a helmet. Asked them to drop it to 690 and they did. So that is something.

Great helmet at a great price!

Wow! Just saw the post right above mine listing the Schuberth for even less! Some great deals to be had, for sure!

That is so true...counter-intuitive, but true! I can hear my music through the fairing speakers so much more clearly if I am wearing foam earplugs. It works at concerts too...makes the music sound much clearer (and saves you from further hearing loss).
