I listen to all kinds of music but the headphones I use are pretty good at blocking out the wind noise while listening. I have the Skull Candy headphones that I find at Target. They come with different sized silicone adaptors and are as good as wearing ear plugs for the wind noise.
I don't know why they make it illegal to wear headphones. I would wear earplugs or headphones either way because the wind noise is bad for my hearing. I don't know if a more expensive helmet would help that but it is nice to have music anyway.

Ok so i got all your problems figured out!! lol
This is how i have my icon set up
Heres what you need...
an ipod shuffle (found this one for $15 at a pawn shop)
Set of radio shack over the head headphones(yes i know they are cheep but i can hear my music just fine at 90 mph and can still turn it up more)
some velcro ( i used 1 1/2 inch round)
velcro the ipod like this
cut off the head band so you have two of these and velcro in place by ears
When it is all buttoned up you cant even see the speakers
wire it through your helmet ( i shortened the wires but not necessery)
Had the wire run out right here
When your done you have a self contained system. No headphones to rip out of your ears when you take off your helmet. Having the speakers where they are makes it easy to hear whats around you while still having the tunes. Changing songs is easy just push the bottom button on the ipod, takes one second. You dont have to remember to hook everything up before you leave. AND best of all no worying about what songs or songs getting old, just hook it up to the comp and hit reload and it puts all new music on it!! lol
Sorry for the long explaination of what and how i listen lol
