Not Loud Enough...June 12, 2007 7 out of 7 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.

I like the size and ease of placement in the helmet. However, I can hardly hear it when riding. I dont even have that loud of a motorcycle (Ducati ST4S). Its more of a back ground music than anything.
Ski HelmetFebruary 11, 2007 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 thoughJanuary 11, 2007 7 out of 7 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.
