Lets see your speaker set-ups!

I wear a ff helmet and anything other than in helmet speakers or ear buds are useless for me. Once I realized I couldn't hear sirens over the sound of exhaust and wind buffeting anyway I just started wearing earbuds

i took the pads off a cheap set of earbuds and doctored-up some foam earplugs to fit over them. its kinda time consuming to bore a hole through foam but worth it when they seal up.
get some parachute pants, checkered vans, tie a bandanna around your knee and ride your boom box. zippers on your jacket almost complete the ensemble. loose a glove.

Bluetooth helmet system with wireless tunes from your smartphone is my preference (Cardo Scala Rider G4).
Like others said, having someone pull up next to you at a traffic light with speakers blaring is obnoxious, IMO.

Do they make bluetooth speakers that dont need a brick mounted to the side of your helmet? I know they make some pretty small bluetooth ear pieces for phones I just dont get why the helmet versions need a cinder block on the side of your head.

speakers on your 48 dude? head to the dealer and trade it in for a BT with a nice big stupid fairing and windshield to go along with it. why would you want to do this? you're more interested in listening to music when you're riding than actually soaking it all in and enjoying the ride not to mention paying attention? do you take a boom box with you too when you go fishing? lol.
