helmet speakers

So I normally just used to use ear buds but I was wondering as I'll be needing a new helmet anyway are there any good ones with speakers built in for music that actually work a high speeds?

I use a Midland Alan motorcycle helmet comms set, with the 2-pin jack.
Device of your choice at 85% volume gives perfectly audible sound at (ahem) miles an hour down the motorway, even if you don't have a windscreen.

Will have a look.

I can't decide what helmet to get

Every day riding all kinds of weather often very long motorway stints.

So ideally little buffeting, light and quiet is my ideal.

Any ideas?

Sena announced this week their 'smart helmet', carbon fibre with intergrated bluetooth 4.1 and 'Intelligent noise-control'.

I see the post on Facebook, Sena replied to a pricing question of around $700, so that should be around £500ish here.

Will be interesting to see how it works, it presumably plays noise opposite to the wind noise through the speakers to 'cancel' it out?

seems so

Designed by riders, for riders, the Smart Helmet offers all the control of noise-canceling headphones while still allowing you to hear vital audio cues like sirens, traffic, and your RPMs. Simply snap in the INC™ module and toggle the “on” button to activate the system. The module analyzes sound information from an array of four networked microphones and adjusts in real time to phase out harmful helmet noise.

Yeah I'll jump on this wagon. On the proviso you can get along with the internal visor liking to fog up if you're covering your shnozzle on a cold bright winter's morning.

It's comfortable, feels a better finish inside than my old xr1100, almost at the Chaser V level. Quieter than that and my old Arai chaser v though.

But yes it is spendy. Does have cavities for speakers. Which I'm now looking at... though I did just pay ultimateear... a lot to rebuild my wired earplugs.

Have a look at the sena u10 for it all fits in seems spooks nearly factory but webbing world sayit could do with being a bit louder
