no mp3 players have bluetooth. the helmet comes with a little transmitter that plugs into your ipod or whatever

that would be sick, but it's so expensive and it looks kinda dumb too with the big circles on your ears.

I got it and is the best thing you could buy. I bought the TEN transmiter for the ipod (it does not come with the helmet as someone wrote before) on amazon for like 60 or 70us. I think its the best transmitor cause it holds the ipod firmly not like others that move when u r skiing cutting the music.

And its not only wires ur skipping, youll stop opening ur jacket for changing music and volume and those shits.

yea really comfi, the sound quality is good (digital), the volume is not as loud as I would like but its fine. The other good thing about the TEN transmitor is that it has its own battery so it doesnt eat ur ipods. And the round earpads dont look bad at all. Ive got the g10 but maybe it looks better on an encore or bad lt.

it works with any bluetooth transmitter, some of them work only with ipods because they use the ipod dock plug, but there are some that use the headphones jack, which is not so good because you go from digital to analog and then digital again, youll lose some quality for sure.

same, but if I had the $$$$ I would get the unwired. I love the wired but there's something enticing about wireless. WAIT!! another question... could you pair the ipod to two wireless receivers? so like two people with the bluetooth headset could listen to the same ipod and same song?
