Are there helmets that have a music system? Because I know that it's illegal to use headphones.|||You could opt for a blue tooth headset for listening to your favorite music BUT the question is WHY?
Please understand, when you are riding at a high speed, things happen in a split second. A delay in responding to the road situation because of a distraction (in your case - music) could mean the difference between life and death.
We all want luxury in our lives BUT there is a time and place, for everything. Please give your riding the attention it deserves; no matter how good you are at it. It pays never to be complacent.|||there are a few nice products out there, i used to use the SCALA bluetooth headsets, theyre cheap, and i got a set of 2 for about 300$, this way i could talk full duplex to my passenger as well.
but after going on longer rides and finding friends who had the ChatterBox, i decided to jump on the bandwagon, and buy one myself, it is great since you can use VOX (voice activated transmit) or PTT (push to talk) and connect your GPS, Bluetooth phone, and 3.5mm headphone jack for ipods and such.
the chatterbox is a bit pricey being 400$, but if you take in to account that i can ride with friends for about 6 hours, listening to music and talking constantly, on only one charge.
i always wear earplugs, and have no problem hearing my music or other people talking
if you want to go cheap though, you can always buy a set of 20$ foamy earphones, they fit alright under your helmet and mold to your ear and you canlisten as long as your mp3 player will last.
only problems are that in most states its illigal to have them in both ears, and in some states you cant even have it at all.
in response to saying you need to be paying attention and not listening to music, that sounds like the words of a weekend rider, i live in san francisco bay area, and i commute 5-6 days a week all year long in the rain, shine, or fog, for 1-1.5 hours through traffic, and it makes it a whole lot more bearable.
but yea, cheapest and easiest solution, 20$ earbuds, but if you ride every day, long rides, and comfort is a must, get either a SCALA or ChatterBox setup.
good luck, and enjoy the ride.
no offense.|||Not all states outlaw use of headphones on motorcycles. Some do while others allow just one ear, then others allow both ears. Check your state
s DMV. I use an MP3 player and soft ear buds. Almost every state allows ear plugs to stop wind noise. Despite what people think, you can still hear cars and horns, even loud exhausts while listening to music. The ear buds just cut out the wind noise that usually blocks horns and sirens. They also help stop hearing loss because you can select the volume that is comfortable. Just make sure you have music you like on it because trying to skip over songs while riding is VERY dangerous! Kind of like driving and text messaging.|||this is MY realm...
There are several options. My personal favorite is the speakers system attached to the bike, and driven via Ipod. I have this system on my bike
other options include helmet speakers, and helmet communicators with audio input options.
I know several people who do wear earphones while riding, and none have ever gotten in any trouble for it. how will an officer tell if you're wearing a full face helmet?|||Yeah. They've had helmets like that for a while. However, the only ones i've seen are the granddaddy looking helmets, which are kind of unfashionable, especially for a ninja. There are more than likely other styles out there, though.|||They have bluetooth helmets now
Communicate between driver and passenger and it cuts out for a cell phone call or cuts music when one or the other talks
Music is good but dead spot on cutout to switch
They still need refining|||not sure.
