In Helmet Audio

[Digitalize]

I have a Shark S900 helmet, and an iPhone 3G S. Looking to add music to my helmet, from the iPhone, and possibly even calls.

What kits are there? Bluetooth would be a plus, but I guess hard wired versions must be around.

How would I go around fitting it? I wore the walky talky kinda thing for my CBT, and it nearly ripped my ear off taking the helmet off. And wasn't comfortable. Haven't tried headphones because of this.

Earphones

I use them every time, in my left ear, earplug in my right.

They aint that bad, just have to use proper in-ear ones.

the wrap around ones (wrap round your ear) suck, they hurt when im riding...

in-ear is the way to go

I'd try some decent ear-bud style headphones; should hopefully offer some ear-plug style protection.
On my Cabergs, I found you had to take some pads around the ears out to use them, when you did it was comfortable, without even my moulded earplug headphones were very uncomfortable.

I've ot a pair of Goldring GX200's, which are awesome, but they stick out of my ear quite a bit, and I'm 90% sure my s900 doesn't have removable pads for headphones :/ will investigate tomorrow I guess.

I know people were saying avoid vcan the other day but I saw on their site they do integrated bluetooth lids.

I use an autocom 200 for radio chat between bike to bike, music to my helmet, chat between rider to pillion and can also connect my phone to it to receive phone calls whilst riding. The mics are clear above legal limits and the speakers are pretty good too. Can also get vaious other looms so you can connect your own in ear speakers etc if you dont get on with the standard ones.
