Orange pants will never go out of style!
I forgot to post the pic. It's the Giro Omen Audio.
It's wireless but has an audio jack port and comes with a cable in case your mp3 device doesn't do bluetooth. It charges via a USB cable just like a normal bluetooth headset. And yes, it does have a microphone for calls and stuff. The mic is not the greatest but the rest of the setup is top notch. Batteries last forever too. I get around 3 days on a charge when listening to music at work. And no I don't wear my helmet at my desk.the speakers pop out of the helmet and snap into a headband like normal headphones.
The setup is expensive unless you find a deal. I got mine for around $120 last year on Tramdock.com (now Steepandcheap.com).
I do not own that helmet, but used to sell it and have tried it on many times. I hate the helmet. It is heavy, did not fit many heads well and expensive.
I do have the audio system, but do not use it with my helmets. They are great headphones as long as you have a bluetooth compatible music devise(no wire) and good sound. On the helmet the ear pieces stick out to far and just look stupid. Ill take my regular Tune-ups kit in my helmet for $30, or the fancy regular bluetooth for $80.

Wait; are you telling me that people actually wear those gigantic headphones while skiing?

I do. And I agree, there are cooler looking set-ups. But, with all the stupid crap I see people wearing on the slopes, it's really not that bad. And IMO, a small price to pay for good wireless audio. Plus don't forget, I got it for like 70% off. No way would I pay retail.

I don't like the big bill on it.
I bet the Seam will be up soon, checking Backcountry's site they almost 600 of them.
Was it ever determined after how many years a helmet should be replaced?

Wow, really? I was thinking 4-5 years. I think this is my forth season with mine.

Me. Got an old Leedom gathering dust in the basement. A 2 year old POC for general use and picked up a Briko Race Helmet on sale this year for racing.
