E3gordon,

I used Sony headphones,not the cheap-*** ones or you can't hear them that well, I removed the metal band that wraps around your head, then siliconed the speakers in place. My Icon helmet already had some cut-outs, But on my Scorpian I had to hollow it out a bit. For the Ipod I used a razor blade to cut out some foam, then ran the wires underneath the linings. Some will say it's not good to cut out the foam, but the way I see it, If I go down, a little foam won't matter at the speeds I travel........

 

I listen to my ipod when i ride just one headphone in though. I have an ipod mini and the clip on headphones that stay attached to your ear. They work good except my helmet is a little to small and sometimes if they arent possitioned right they hurt after a while. I run the wire down my shirt and out the bottom to my ipod that is cliped inside my pocket works great and you cant see the wires when im riding so cops dont even know its in. Plus since i only use one headphone i can still hear everything around me and know what is going on without having to shut off or turn the music down. Listen to music on your bike is no more dangerous than listening to music in your car.

 

its all about the tunes. all though i do have to admit, if its a short ride i usually dont bother with it.

 

I use my Ipod nano when I ride to school, it is about a 30 minute drive and I use it while I walk to class. When I ride with a group I do not use it.
