So I currently have an iPhone 3GS, a recently purchased HD Sportster and a 3/4 helmet similar to this, but without the foam 'U' shapes around the ears:
Here's my array of problems...
1) My ears are ringing after riding. Not good.
2) I would love to listen to music while riding, but do not want to cancel out all outside noise for obvious safety reasons.
3) I want to be able to control my iPhone music with an inline controller like what comes with the iPhone.
Possible solutions are...
1) To accept the ringing and velcro some earpad-type headphones into the helmet, tucking in the cord & leaving the 1/8" plug poking out, allowing me to buy some adaptor/extension for the iPhone with inline controls that I can connect to it. Problem: horrible sound, even more beating of my eardrums.
2) Same as above, but get a set of IEMs that will both protect my hearing while also sounding good, and still allowing some outside sound in.
3) To get a bluetooth headset that covers my ears and both blocks some motorcycle noise and allows my listening to music untethered. Problem: no inline controls.
Ideas? Opinions? Your solutions?
