Bike speakers.

It might be fun to have some music while riding. Been looking at blue tooth speakers. I'm going to try the inexpensive Zealot S1. It has mixed reviews on amazon, but we'll see. I ordered it off ebay from China for $19 instead of $25 on Amazon. I'll have to wait a month, but it's still cold here.

Works as a flashlight too. Will take mini SD cards and supposed to play the mpg files directly. Probably will sound like music out of a beer can.

I use a set of bluetooth on-the-neck headsets from LG (Tone Activ +) although there are other brands making the same type of thing up to and including Bose. They are more expensive (the cheapest brand I've seen is about $50 on amazon) but they have the advantage of not taking up any space on the handlebar and are also quite useful around the house and other places. They are not very loud and don't sound too great but I consider that a plus since I don't want to mask outside sounds. The LG ones also have earbuds so if you're using them off the bike you can use them that way for much better sound.
 
This isn't a cheap way to listen to music but it works quite well. My wife and I use these Sena helmets to communicate while riding. They also play audio from a smartphone via Bluetooth. Software eliminates most of the wind noise and the music is surprisingly clear. It is played through mini speakers mounted in the helmet close to your ears and doesn't interfere with warning sounds from horns, bells or approaching vehicles.
