Helmet Speakers

[Alpha-9]

Following from my comment on another thread...

Anyone recommend any?
Even a helmet with them already built in would be cool.

Had a look around the internet and there is quite the range judging from the reviews, from barely audible to ear destroyingly loud.

I want something in the middle, not super cheap and crap but not OTT expensive.
Under £30.

Was eyeing the websites https://helmetspeakers.com/
Need something UK really, pointless shipping

Any experiences/thoughts/recommendations?

They're all pretty useless over 30mph, just get earphones they work so much better.

In ear headphones are the best choice, in town you can use just 1 and hear music/satnav perfectly well while also being able to hear the traffic and for long trips on dual carriageway/motorways using both headphones gets rid of wind noise, just remember to pull over and take one out when you get to a busy built up area

I persisted with earphones for years but since fitting the headset I never use phones on the bike now.

I bought this..
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1-BT-interphone-bluetooth-motorcycle-helmet-intercom-/250868555905?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item3a68ee6081

I tried them on my helmet ,and honestly they are really really loud.
My younger friend also got a set and he couldn't believe the sound from them.
And we can also use they biker to biker

if i was to rate them out of 10 ..they would get for marks,i have mine now 6 months and use them most days on my ride to work..

Hope this helps

Thanks for the replies...

I use ear phones atm and they're shit, that's why I asked, when I put my helmet on the tend to pull out my ears slightly so I cant hear aswell, then hurt like fuck if they're out of position.


I'd rather have something I don't need to fuck around with and can just plug my MP3 in and go


That's a pretty funky BT interphone thing on ebay, but i'm not sure how I feel about bluetooth as i'm not really using it for comms, at least till I get some friends on bikes

S'pretty cool actually looking at it more, and about the right price

Shame i dont have a bluetooth MP3 player, that'd be super sexy then


Nice

The best advice I can give based on my experience is:

1) Buy a Scala G4 Intercom thing. It clips to the shell of your helmet and has VERY low profile speakers that go inside your helmet, absolutely fantastic. Can have conversations at 100mph and over and no problems listening to music either, sounds great, works great, can connect by wire or bluetooth.

2) Buy a set of custom in-ear earplugs with built-in headphones. I'll find the link.

Either way you're looking at £100+ but you get what you pay for. If you want quality and something that will last, you've got to pay for it.

These are what I am talking about:

https://www.ultimateear.com/motorcyclist.php

Go there and I'd recommend the 'Soundear' model.

As I said above, it's expensive but it is custom moulded to YOUR ears, so will fit perfectly, have great sound quality and will last years. !

Ok people enlighten me please?

If you have the speakers/headphones in the helmet and plugged into your phone.
How do you answer the phone?
Do you have to pull over, take your gloves off, find your phone and press answer, by which time they would of rung off.
Or is there an extra button? on the wires.
Or do i need to mount my phone on the dash?

I decided at 6pm tonight after staring at this laptop that's pissing me off that the 20p sized speakers would fit nicely behind the lining in my lid.
