I know there's been a lot of threads about helmets - but didn't see anyone who mentioned the K2 helmets.

Off the bat - they are for snowboarding. I know. Thanks. Really.
But after biffing it in LA last November and busting my collarbone my wife's insisting on me getting a helmet, and obviously I've been resistant because they're generally uncool and uncomfortable and expensive.
But she says I can't ride until I get one, and the collarbone's just healed properly, and now I want to ride. I'm used to having some music on really low when i ride, so these K2 helmets with built-in speakers (apparently done WELL) have appealed to me. I have a skating background so I think I prefer the skate style helmet to bike style.
Because they're for snow it's probably something you'd only want to use during a British winter like this one, and in the rest of the year it would probably be crazy hot.
Any comments?
