The funny thing is, I rarely ever listen to music with them. They are there because of the Sena 10U I installed for comms and phone calls. The last time I listened to music in my helmet was on my 2600 mile round trip last year from Omaha to Washington and back. Not bad for a 42 year old Honda :) Usually, I just ride around listening to my bike. These old flat 4's sound pretty darn good when you open them up.
