FWIW my helmet speakers still allow me to hear somewhat...depends on the volume of course. I'd imagine the same holds true for an out board unit. As loud as some of these guys have them going, I doubt that they can hear anything else. If you are already wearing earplugs, I don't see how helmet speakers could make it worse...you could always buy a quieter helmet Suomy man...

It's not just this helmet...every helmet I've ever worn. I just prefer the ear plugs. I don't really care to listen to music while I ride. But if I was riding a land yacht I would reconsider.

But I understand your point...when shit is cranked they probly can't hear anyway.

I was teasing about the lid... BTW if you have a mp3 player, try listening to music while you ride. I used to say the same exact thing but now that I do it, I actually enjoy having music play.

I did that once. I didn't like it. Coulda been the shitty ear buds though.

Truth! I had trouble getting earbuds to stay in when I tried it and gave it up until I wanted to wire in my radar detector anyway. Helmet speakers can be had for $30 or less...
