Bluetooth earphones that are comfortable in a helmet
Discussion
I know, I know - I should be buying a Cardo Packtalk Edge or something but I really can't stretch to that at the moment (I'll wait until Christmas).
In the meantime, can anybody recommend some bluetooth earphones that are slim enough to easily fit into a crash helmet without hurting? I can get my skull candy buds to work but they often get caught when I put the helmet on, and sometimes fall out my ear while I'm riding.
Ideally I'd like something that velcros to the helmet lining. If anybody has any suggestions that would be great.

Ok, so it looks like I'm going for a Cardo something-or-other. I forgot that most of the bluetooth earbuds have touch controls - nightmare!
It's very unlikely I'm going to be using it as an intercom as I rarely ride with others. I'll be using it to play music and make phone calls so is this a bit overkill?

If there is a cheaper version with the same quality speakers that will do what I need I'd be interested to hear your opinions.

I think we have a winner. Would prefer DAB radio so I can listen to Nick Ferrari on my commute but I can compromise given the price.

Not helpful now you've bought one, but in case anyone else is looking for a cheap alternative.
I used an Anker Soundsync Bluetooth Receiver (£20) which stuck on the back/bottom of the helmet with double sided tape, and then I used Koss "Porta Pro" On Ear Headphones (£35), that I dismantled so it was just headphones and a cable, these were stuck inside the helmet near my ears and it worked great for streaming from the phone.
The Mrs might still want to listen to some music when riding pillion, so further suggestions are still welcome I used an Anker Soundsync Bluetooth Receiver (£20) which stuck on the back/bottom of the helmet with double sided tape, and then I used Koss "Porta Pro" On Ear Headphones (£35), that I dismantled so it was just headphones and a cable, these were stuck inside the helmet near my ears and it worked great for streaming from the phone.
Sounds like a neat solution.

I tried a few and none of them worked, particularly blocking enough road noise without the volume being excessive
Can't believe there's much difference between a decent set of them and a Chinese set of bluetooth helmet speakers
I went for the cardo spirit HD, I think it was only £100ish

fitted today (I just followed the YouTube instructions) and it seems great so far, if the weather's ok in sunny Dudley tomorrow I'll give it a proper test.
Might see you out and about.
