Topic: Helmet speakers, bad idea or not?
Hey all. I'll start out by stating that I haven't raced before, and have my first outing coming up at MSR this month.
I have a problem with most earbuds fitting in my ears, turns out my ear canals are on the small side. I was exploring the option for helmet speakers, but some veteran drivers on my team aren't sure that this will work well because of how loud things get at the track, and they like the foam racing buds because they help quiet the other noise out there.
So, I wanted to throw this out to a wider audience for some advice and see if anyone has gone down this road before. From reading the forums and attending several Lemons events so far, I know a lot of crazy shit has been done, so I thought I'd see what advice others had.
