So Im thinking about getting my first helmet, havnt decided on which one, so im still open to suggestions. Ive been looking at the Red Hi-Fi just cause Ive heard good things about it. What are my audio options? (I guess i dont know how much room is inside the helmet) I see that the Redphones and DJ headset Redphones supposedly fit seamlessly to the helmet...is the sound quality decent? <BR> <BR>I know some people on here arent a fan of Skullcandy (which my FMJs have always sounded pretty good to me) but I saw Smith's Audio is made by Skullcandy so I dont know if they sound better than the Redphones. I just dont wanna roll with earbuds anymore unless i can find some that stay in after i eat <font color="ff0000">•</font><font color="ff0000">•</font><font color="ff0000">•</font><font color="ff0000">•</font><font color="ff0000">•</font><font color="ff0000">•</font><font color="ff0000">•</font><font color="ff0000">•</font><font color="ff0000">•</font><font color="ff0000">•</font><font color="ff0000">•</font><font color="ff0000">•</font> most headphones fit under the helmets? or is it just better to go with the integrated ones?

Better to go with integrated tunes. <BR> <BR>My friend has the Red with Audio, which has a mute button on the outside of the earpad, best feature you can have! He is very happy with it, and I think it looks good. <BR> <BR>I have the Giro with Skullcandy Tuneups and have never had a problem, other than not being able to mute it. Volume control on the cord is a good feature with mine too. <BR> <BR>You'll never not want to wear a helmet again, and wonder why you weren't before.

After trying the Giro and Smith, and having problems with both, I made my own. <BR> <BR>I wear a RED helmet and took a pair of Sony headphones I had and inserted the speaker into the ear pad of the helmet. I routed the cord between the helmet shell and the foam so the cord comes out in the back left. I run the cord over my shoulder, under my armpit and into my mp3 pocket in my jacket. <BR> <BR>I know it may sound ghetto, but this is the 2nd helmet I've done this way and it works pretty well for a fraction of the cost.

Smith Holt w/ SingleShot (skullcandy) only way to go...

How do the SkullCandys sound in the Smith and Giro? <BR> <BR>So long as its not as bad as like apples earbud quality, i think ill be switching to in helmet audio, which im stoaked about.

I don't think it sounds bad..... <BR> <BR>You have speakers next to your ears, it works pretty well

dont forget ab bern. their muts are sic

Never ridden a Giro, but my fiance did, she like her Holt better.... cord also has volume &amp; mute controls.... <BR> <BR>earbuds can be bad if you fall on the side of you head (or smash your shoulder into your ear).... think where that ear bud goes.....

I wear the Protec Mercenary and upgraded to the 2010 Plantronics audio ears, they are sweeet! The volume is a roller on the right ear and the left ear has a mute button. The cord also locks into the ear piece so it doesnt pull out. Just throw on the ipod and you can adjust on the fly with gloves on.

I just saw a Smith in person for the first time... really nice helmet
