High Performance Helmet Speaker Headphones with a 3.5mm Earbud Audio Jack Compatible with Most Helmet Comm Systems - The XSound 2.1 R fits in Most Ski, Snowboard and Motorcycle Helmets

I was told my previous comment was too long. I will be succinct this time. XSound3 speakers are more than they are cracked up to be. Installation simple, typical. Amp is small perhaps tiny it’s installation is easier than speakers. You can’t figure it out email, call support they have people who will talk to you, respond to your email and answer your question Can’t say enough about the products or service. You will not be disappointed. NO I DO NOT WORK FOR THEM. I have just dealt with other companies.

Update 2: Customer service finally got in touch with me and required me to ship the headphones back on my dime so they could be "inspected" for warranty replacement. I never shipped them back and I won't be buying any more of their products. I wish you could do 0 stars.Update: The speaker wires shorted and now sound only comes out of one speaker. The 3.5mm plug and cable is designed so that when you mount a Sena 20S there is too much pressure and the cable is too short. A 1.5" longer cable would solve the problem. You could possibly try to extend the cable with an extension.Below 55mph these things sound fantastic. Theres not a huge amount of bass but they are much much less tinny than the speakers that come with either Sena or Scala Rider headsets. They provide a much fuller immersive sound without destroying the upper registry of hearing. Above 55 they are just OK. Not bad at all, but OK is all any helmet mounted speaker will be at that speed so don't take it as a negative. No helmet mounted speakers are going to provide bass that you can hear at highway speeds, physics won't allow it. These things are at least twice as thick as the Sena speakers and are much heavier. Keep this in mind because they will touch your ears. They come with a large amount of foam spacers and leather covers to keep them clean. I would not buy them again. Customer service has been non-responsive through Amazon. I'm currently waiting for reply contact through their website.

I bought a helmet first, and then picked these speakers out to go into the helmet. These are exactly what I wanted, and work great.Only problem I had was that these speakers don't say which one is the right, and which one is the left. So I just made two audio tracks, one that was right only, and one that was left only, and then I played those tracks through the speakers, to make sure I knew for sure which speaker was the right, and which speaker was the left. Then when I knew, I slipped them into the helmet, and it works great.NOTE: One speaker has a short cord while the other speaker has a long cord. The short cord goes to the RIGHT SPEAKER, and the long cord goes to the LEFT SPEAKER.If you have a small player like I do, you can fit the player inside the helmet, or run the cord outside the helmet if you want to have quick access to the player. The reason why I decided to go with a cord instead of Bluetooth, is because Bluetooth can easily lose signal. If you don't want to lose signal, cord is best.

I bought these for my AGV K5S full-face helmet; I got tired of wrestling with corded earbuds every time I put the helmet on. The sound quality and volume of these speakers is pretty impressive when manually held against the ear canals prior to mounting, as specified in the manual. Duplicating that when they are mounted is a challenge; on my K5S, the helmet strap mounting rivets prevent positioning the speakers just that TINY bit more forward for best results (for me), but still, pretty nice sound. This, of course will vary from user to user.My biggest gripe is, the self-adhesive Velcro mounting rings come pre-attached (velcro'd? Is that a word?) to each other. These are by necessity, pretty thin, and in separating them, they are easily deformed/damaged/torn. Not cool. Additionally, the Velcro does its job almost too well - when trying to remove the speakers, the adhesive lets go MUCH easier than the Velcro. It would also be nice if there was some means of securing the connector to the helmet included (i.e. an adhesive zip-tie mount). They're inexpensive enough, and for the price of these speakers, should be part of what's "in the package".Interestingly, there are two sets of spacers included, which if used, would suggest that the helmet is too large for the wearer; a motorcycle helmet should fit snugly, with almost zero free play and no movement when the wearer shakes his/her head side to side. The standard mounting rings position the speakers right up against my ears; any closer would be uncomfortable over time.I'm going on my first lengthy ride (>150 miles) in a few days, and will update this review if I discover any glaring problems or pleasant surprises.
