04ShEeLE Posted January 19, 2005 Report Posted January 19, 2005 Does anyone here run helmet speakers to listen to music while riding? If so where do you buy them and are they worth it? Quote
John19 Posted January 19, 2005 Report Posted January 19, 2005 I enjoy listening to my Rockets when riding. About 3 years ago I took my mp3 player and put it in a fanny pack and ran the headphones under my shirt to my helmet. It was kind of a pain. Quote

Anyone got more info on helmet speakers? Quote
Wallrat Posted January 19, 2005 Report Posted January 19, 2005 I've got the helmet speakers from my old Chatterbox which I then run to an MP3 player kept in my camelback. They aren't the greatest speakers but they stay in the helmet with some velcro. Usually after I pull my helmet on I do need to slide my fingers inside and position them correctly. You could make your own pretty easily. Just get some headphones that are low profile but don't fit inside your ears. Make sure they have wires going to each ear so that you can dremel the headpiece off. Pick up some velcro at a crafts store and stick the rough velcro side to the back of the speakers. That side of the velcro will stick to the helmet liner fairly well. Its best if you can get headphones with a very short cord which plugs into an extension. Sony makes some like this with volume control on the extension. This way you can minimize how much wire hangs off your helmet when you take it off. Quote

LegendSS28 Posted January 20, 2005 Report Posted January 20, 2005 I could see myself getting too amp and crashing pretty good if I was listening to some tunes while riding...but thats just me Quote
racer Posted January 21, 2005 Report Posted January 21, 2005 No, but I can't think of anything better than being able to jam to some Zeppelin while out tearing shit up! 308902[/snapback] no shittin man. Quote
ikikazz Posted January 23, 2005 Report Posted January 23, 2005 iv only tried my mp3 player with my dirtbike and i start listining to the music then forget what to do... CRASH. i dont listen to them any more. but on the shee it would probably be nice to listen to some music... but then i still would crash. Quote
iceman Posted January 23, 2005 Report Posted January 23, 2005 I dunno how well this would work, but its called motomp3 it clips the back of your helmet and its 200 bucks. www.motomp3.com you could break it if you fell I think...I don't think its worth it personally. Quote
lineybiker_11 Posted February 3, 2005 Report Posted February 3, 2005 i've done this with my snowmobile and your headphones have to pretty loud to hear them over the engine. and if it starts to run funny and sound different you can't really hear it because i had a billow in my exaust valve rip and it was boggin down on that side and i couldn't tell until i looked at the temp guages. Otherwise its awesome your pumped like the whole time if you get some heavy stuff. Quote
