Me and a buddy split the cost and bought the Scala Rider Q2 from Cycle gear when it was on sale for $300.00
It was definitely worth the price. I like riding with music when it's a longer ride and I'm able to relax a bit. It can be as loud as you want, to the point where it drowns out anything else.

I have a Sena SMH10 and i love it. great for music/calls/texting/ talking to passenger or group riders. even usefull with GPS or Radar. pretty much anything thats blutooth. id reccomend..... also if you wanna save a few $ there is the smaller version:SMH5 with most of the same features just less battery life and a shorter range. and its under 100 bucks!

I can't agree more, it's so worth what I paid. I highly recommend it.

I use the Sena SMH10 with the earbud bracket and have my earbuds wired through my helmet. I love it, I can listen to music via bluetooth, answer phone calls, skip songs, turn the volume up and down. Best $170 I've ever spent, everyone here uses chatterboxes but I can honestly say that the sena out performs it by far.

I wouldn't recommend SMH5. If you ever pair up with another rider, it won't work too well because of the distance. You can use it just to talk to your passenger

I use the Uclear system it is very affective. Plays music loud and I can answer phone calls just by saying hello. I picked it up on sale at Cycle Gear and I recommend it to anyone who likes to listen to music while riding. It still allows you to hear your bike and any emergency vehicles coming.
I was doing well over the speed limit while on the phone and the wife couldn't hear any of the wind noise at all. Also as the wind noise rising in the helmet the sound on the speakers will increase slightly.
Again well worth the $179.99 I spent on it.

I have a set of noise canceling sony earbuds, with the volume set low, I can hear what is going on around me and enjoy the music. I shake up my play list pretty regularly so changing songs really is not an issue to me.
I like the controls on the sony earbuds, but honestly I have never used them while I am moving.

Hey member, just wondering how you guy listen to music when riding? I've tried using a head set with my iPhone/IPod...but it's so difficult to change song or adjust volume with riding gloves on...I would be listening to same song over and over again...Unless I manage to stop and manually switch songs...I do, am able to take in-calls though...
