While I've not tyied these they look to solve several saftey and
comfort issues all in one. I'm dead set against ear bud, or head
phones while riding but these place the speakers "close to" and
not "in" the ear so IMO they are a nice compromise. They also
say they will help with wind noise some suffer with.

I have a pair, they are ok (lower case). They keep your ears warm, but there is enough wind noise to distract from what you are listening to. Ear buds do make my ears hurt after a period of time, and these cure that problem. My biggest complaint is that the method to attach them to your helmet is a kludge. They need refinement before they are worth the trouble.

I have them as well. I agree that they are not easliy attached to the helmet but they work as advertised. Wind noise is reduced and you can listen to music while hearing traffic. In the summer, I suspect that they would be make your ears pretty hot.

I would actually get some of those not for music but because wind noise just really drives me nuts sometimes...

Wasn't there a similar product out there 15-20 years ago which did the same thing - minus the earbud capability, of course? Maybe this is one of those ideas like Biopace that seem to come around in cycles? (Pun intended.)
