Sports equipment manufacturer Giro has their 2005 line of products out, including a new line of snowboarding and ski helmets that accept optional 'TuneUps,' a set of integrated, padded headphones that clip right into the helmet. Even better, they have a split out version called the TuneUps II which allows you to connect not only an audio device, but a cell phone or walkie-talkie, as well. The only thing I'm not sure on is whether or not it has a built-in or in-line microphone (Update: It does have a mic).

The helmets run about $150 apiece, while the optional TuneUps earphones are around $30. (Thanks, Gareth!)
