Personally, I use noise isolation earbuds in my lid since they double as earplugs, which are recommended for riding anyways. A poorly made/poorly fit helmet can jiggle, create even more noise buffeting noises, and the shield can give you the fishbowl effect which will alter your ability to judge how far off obstacles are. I had an Icon Mainframe helmet and the thing would start to wiggle when I got to high speeds due to a poorly made spoiler and oh man that thing was noisy with the top vent open.

If you want to ride and listen to your music and talk on the phone or talk to your buddy go right ahead. I have talked on the phone, texted and SKYPE'd enough that when I get on my bike it is just me and the breeze.

If you buy other bluetooth systems you have to cut the foam in your helmet, don't you? I wouldn't want to buy something just to cut it up. When I purchase a helmet, it will probably be to use on a long trip, and it would be nice to be able to communicate with my bf.
