Depends how much money you have.
These work for me.

There are various sellers all selling the same thing.

I use something very similar (an older version, I think) happily with my Zumo 390. Purely in the interests of curiosity, I found the Zumo also paired happily with an Avantree (clips to the sun-visor) car hands-free bluetooth thingy, and my MotoG phone.

John, you can use something like this

It will connect to your Sat-Nav and you can use your own speakers if you don't like the pink ones! I used the older version with some moulded ear plugs with speakers in with no trouble at all.

This is the best solution for the money IMO (£35), designed for the job, to fit in the helmet, no earphones to stick in and out your ears, just take your helmet on and off as normal, and it's weather-proof.

By all accounts they aren't really audible above 70mph, but you get what you pay for and if you want the best performance the SENA SMH5 is £80.

Thanks for this... I've just ordered one and it arrived today - will be very useful with my "spare" helmet and the Zumo. (I already have one of those Scala clones in my main helmet) Despite being pink, the little Jabra seems to work very well with my phone, and it's linked to the Zumo too - I'll give it a proper try-out tomorrow.

Don't bother with the spoken directions. They are not always accurate. For example you may hear "Take the first exit at the roundabout"
That may be a Sainsburys service road, but the machine counts it as an exit. You're far better off just looking at the route on the screen.
