wow they got some nice stuff! I really like the idea of the amp.

I got the amp as well, its loud as hell. I don't use it much cause I dont need the tunes that loud and its one more piece of gear in my jacket that I don't really want.

I have the Smith Maze/Skull Candy setup. I love it. I just made sure yesterday that last year's season didn't kill them. They still sound great. My only complaint is how easy it is to push the button on the cord. At least its large enough to just mash with my gloves on when I need to toggle the audio on/off or change songs.

Must admit that Iasus stuff looks good, if the K2 Audio doesnt hold up i'll definitely be looking in to them.
just tried having people shout at me while wearing the helmet listening to music, i could still hear them but the audio was still great on the K2's...looking good so far!

I just used the Apple Earpods, the ones packaged with the newest generation iPhones and iPods. They fit under my earpads comfortably. The main thing I like about them is that unlike the original ipod earbuds, the Earpods are built to be semi-isolating, so I could hear important sounds around me (a rider speed checking or falling) but still have enough subtle isolation to let my music not get drowned out. Also, its extremely convenient to have the inline controls so I can skip tracks and adjust volume without taking out my MP3 player.

I got something similar. Works well but this brand seems so much better then what I got.

By chance do you now if they got something that splits to a radio and a mp3 player?

Just picked up a FiiO headphone amp from Amazon and I must say it was the best 50 bux I ever spent. I also got the optional ipod line-out adapter.

Not only did it make the crappy Giro Tuneups in my Seam helmet louder, but the sound is a lot fuller/richer.
