I have been thinking about getting a new helmet with a bluetooth built into it so I can listen to music when riding. Any feed back on these types of helmets.

I don't but would like to throw in my two cents listening to music while riding doesnt sound terribly safe

All in how you listen. I have been using a chatterbox for the last 5 years or so and listen to music, plus my wife and I can communicate when she is on the back. I don't listen to the music very loud, just enough to break the silence. Makes my rides a lot more enjoyable.

No input on helmet types, but I too listen to music at a level just to break the road/wind noise during a ride. I find it keeps me more alert than just the standard noise rolling around inside the helmet on longer rides.

Here is a link on ebay of some helmets that I found with blughetooths in them. It sounds nice because you can answer your phone, listen to music, get FM stations, and talk with others through a intercom. I am just hesitant on the quality of them.

I thought it kind of funny that you asked this same question almost a year ago to the day....http://www.600cc.org/forum/f87/blue-tooth-your-helmet-17140/
Buy one already!!

I tried the bluetooth helmet on by O'Neal...Element I believe. Anyway it didn't fit right, not enough padding, and golly did the helmet hurt to take on and off where the speakers are. I suppose there's a technique to it but... To me it wasn't worth the price. Chatterbox seems the route to go.

I own one and i dont even use it. It only has one speaker and the mp3 player has to be bluetooth or you have to use the mp3 player in your phone.
Its a cool idea but the volume didnt turn up enough for me (to many rock concerts).
I now have a stereo speaker system in my helmet that plugs into a mp3 player and i love it.

you can laugh now, but i have never even owned an ipod.
all i listen to is the radio. i have an old fashioned walkman that i keep in my inside pocket of my jacket. i just use earbuds and let the wire go down into my jacket (no slack to get caught anywhere).
i guess i should look into something a little better, easier.

My wife got me an ipod a couple years back.... then, I lost it at work.... I told her thanks, but they are just way overpriced, you have to install software (which I hate itunes), it was "cool" to have a few extras, but I really just wanted an mp3 player.
I got a Sansa Fuze at Costco, $60 for an 8G, even that, I really just wanted the Sansa Clip+, but couldn't pass up the price. No software, just plug it up to the pc and copy mp3's over. Bought my wife a clip+, I actually like it better than the Fuze, because it has a standard usb mini connector, no special cables or software to deal with and it's smaller!
