This helmet is awesome. First of all the sound system in it is great. Skullcandy makes some good speakers with awesome sound.
For those new to an audio helmet the cord plugs into the bottom of your left earpiece and then about 10 inches down has volume control with a clip on it to attach to the top of your coat or shirt. From there the cord continues to plug into your i-pod or mp3 player. It just has a normal headphone jack along w/ a smaller jack for certain cell phones.
As for the helmet itself, I can't complain. I use it mostly for snowboaring. It fits very comfortable and is light enough that I often forget I'm wearing it. It's comes with vents to keep your head from sweating to death but is warm enough that I rarely have to wear a beanie to keep my ear and head warm enough.
As for size, just measure your head and go w/ what the size chart says, it's right on.
One last thing with the speakers. At high speeds you may not be able to hear super well. Let's just say they aren't powerful enough to blow your eardrums, but plenty loud enough to hear unless you're half deaf already or going down the hill in a 40 mph head wind.
I'm completely satisfied.

Do the Ear Muffs that come with the Smith Holt have speakers in them or do you have to buy skullcandy speakers separately?

Must share...the speakers work great...it's the volume control slider that is totally cheap and causes problems!! Not waterproof and cheaply built.
