Product Description These helmet speakers are thin, provide high volume, and are uniquely designed for helmets. They plug into any radio, MP3, or CD player that has a standard 1/8" output jack. They are very comfortable inside your helmet. Just press them into your helmet's ear pockets or secure them to the helmet lining with the attached Velcro or adhesive Velcro pads. Use these speakers with any helmet that covers your ears.

Ski Helmet February 11, 2007 Skiing 2 music 3 out of 4 found this review helpful
I bought these for my ski helmet. I could not find anything else and thought I could make these work. I was right! They fit in my helmet (a Giro 540) almost perfectly and sound better than I expected. I looked at the various ski helmet manufacturers and the stuff they have only works in certain models and is more expensive. These work well and should work in just about any helmet. Well worth the price. I would think they could sell a lot more of them if they broadened the subject beyond motorcycles.
Fits really well, not too loud though January 11, 2007 John Prue 8 out of 8 found this review helpful
The great thing about this is that if you've ever strugged with ear-buds, or something similar you'll never have to do so again! I have basically forgotten that these are in my helmet, the setup is seamless. The wires fit perfectly under the padding in most helmets and the female connect is then attatched with velcro to the underside lip on the side of your helmet, so when not in use you really don't notice it. When you need it..reach up and connect your music male connector. Piece of cake! The only downside is that it's not very loud at it's loudest setting with my MP3 player. Not sure if that's a fuction of the speakers or the player. It's loud enough to enjoy though.
Great first helmet speakers! October 4, 2007 Nathan A. Martin (Auburn, WA USA) Have over 12,000 motorcycle miles wearing these, most recently on a trip through Canada and Alaska. I use mine with my iPod and they work great, especially at speeds below about 70 mph. If you spend a good deal of time above that speed, you may want to upgrade to the HS24 Iasus speakersXSound 2 High End Motorcycle Helmet Speakers. These are priced ridiculously low. They are very easy to install, very comfortable, and have their own volume control which is very handy, especially if your mp3 is in your jacket pocket or motorcycle tank bag.
The music is like a background sound only. November 9, 2007 JoePinto (Caracas, Vzla.) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
It is ver good built, easy to install, great looks. But it's not loud. It is good because you hear the exterior, and you hear the music as a backgroud (great for security reasons).
Not Loud Enough... June 12, 2007 Greg Bass (East Providence, RI USA) 8 out of 8 found this review helpful
I tried these with my Creative Zen Sleek Photo MP3 player in a 3/4 JHC helmet and they do not get loud enuff to hear adequately standing in the driveway never mind on the road. The rated impedance seems low enough maybe the drivers are inefficient/lack sensitivity. I tried plugging them into the headphone output of my Yamaha YST 2.1 computer speakers and with the volume knob cranked up they do get loud and sound pretty good. Most portable devices probably will not have sufficient output to drive them properly for their intended use.
