Helmet Speakers

[raptor700rgytr]

i am looking to put a set of speakers in my helmet. just don't know what to go with. it is going to be mostly ATV riding but i am planing on getting a sports bike of some kind in the near future. if any one has put speakers of some kind in there helmet let me know what you went with.

ive been wanting to do this for a while as the ear buds get sore. For next winter im going to install padded pockets over my ears in my KLIM balaclava to drop in those snowboard speakers. This way when you take off your helmet you dont need to unplug every time.

As for summer, my best guess would be some velcro sewn in your helment and stuck to the back of a snowboard drop in. Not sure how comfortable that will be.

Let me know how you make out.

i have been shopping around and the local bike shop recommended this. there is no boom so it makes it easy to wear as well it has Bluetooth connection to your phone for music and phone calls. a bit pricey but worth taking a look at. i am kinda thinking to the future for when i get a bike but would be nice to have some music on those 6 hour ATV rides

We've got the Sena SMH-10's.
Absolutely great for both quading and biking. Looks very similiar to the ones you posted. (Wireless etc.)
Radio Ryder off Ebay. $310 for 2 sets to my door.
We have boom mics on 4 helmets and just move the actual controller from helmet to helmet depending on if we are biking or quading.

Think I'm going to try these,what i have been looking for and not stupidly priced.

 

[raptor700rgytr]

so i just got me uclear hbc 100 helmet communicator in and its awesome. really easy to use and connected to my phone no problem. (htc desire hd). the sound is good but i still have to test the call quality on them. but from first glance they are sweeet.

i got a set of bose headphones and took them all apart and installed in helmet with small ipod mounted under visor. works well

The last few years we've been buying smaller headphones, and cutting the foam out of our helmets and cutting head strap off the headphones and velcroing them into the earpiece. Then cut a notch in your helmet for your ipod and run wireless remote. Has worked well for the last few sledding seasons, and cheap as well.

Then cut a notch in your helmet

Did you really do that? That totally destroys the structural integrity of your helmet! I wouldn't put my head in there now!

......... I wouldn't put my head in there now!

maybe he doesn't want you to either......just saying!

 

[ferniesnow]

Further to the information above, I've seen guys using portable VHF radios for communication with the speaker on the lapel or collar. Anybody got anything further to add with VHF radios?
