I have these speakers in my half helmet and they work perfect. I have installed Skala Team set Rider, in my helmet and that of my lady on the back. There are limits. When I exceed 60mph the noise and rumble by turbulence will grow beyond the level to hear loud and clear.. I have solved this with mounting wind deflectors on my front suspension. Together with my windscreen they solve the inconvenience. I have no problems anymore till appr. 90mph, when the turbulence will return. Not a shadow of before the wind deflectors, but still.

Fits in a half-helmet, doesn't look horrid and goes on/off easily?
That likely describes most everything available.
If you want to add sounds good, that narrows the field.
The best sound in a half-lid has to be custom-formed earbuds. I've also heard of guys sacrificing a set of home headphones, but those are easier to mount in a 3/4 lid.
J&M makes a decent headset.
