the reason BMW put the mic(s) up by the forehead is because the helmet's entire front half (not just the wind-screen) can be opened while it is being worn-- the front half of the helmet swivels at the temples. BMW has had this style of convertible full-face helmet for over a decade, making some of the most sophisticated and comfortable helmets around. if i'm not mistaken, BMW has offered Bluetooth in their helmets for a couple of years now-- certainly predating the moto-momo helmet. the BMW helmet will also actually protect your head in a collision.
I am out to get another of these helmets. A few years ago they put out this helmet with bluetooth, however, they all shorted out when they got wet, so they withdrew the bluetooth capability for a few years till they could fix it. This is the reintroduction. I bought my first System V after the bluetooth had been withdrawn in anticipation that they would reissue it and I could back fit it to my helmet and get the second rider helmet with the bluetooth already installed.
