Audio Helmets

Hi

Does anybody listen to music when they are riding? if so, do you have one of these special audio helmets or do you just use your cheapy flash player with ear bud headphones?

I was looking at these:- Bern Audio Helmet

Anybody heard about or used one? What are your takes on listening to music while riding?

I have a Giro lid with TuneUps earflaps and they sound amazing! (And are nice and toasty for the winter.) My water lid (Shred Ready) has what they call their Can-Can earflaps and I can't say I'm in love with the sound quality BUT it is sound and it is completely waterproof (H2O Audio case for the iPod as well) so it's better than earbuds that wiggle loose and fall out IMO.

I've got one of the Smith snow helmets that have skullcandy stuff built in. The sound quality is pretty nice and the helmet is very comfortable.

I don't listen all the time as I like to hear what's around me but I'm using the K2 Crossfire.. it looks almost exactly like the bern. Ear flaps are removable for the warmer days and I use ear buds. Looks like a good helmet.

I am afraid i will not listen the music when riding in the normal circs. not as one multi-purpose and watch out to hear what's around me i will use ear buds when i was in rest
