Music compatable helmet? - Snowboarding Forum

12-03-2007, 05:23 PM

Hello, I am brand new here and need some advice. I like listening to music on the MTN, but where normal earbuds seems to hurt the ears after a while. I am getting ready to buy a new helmet and have seent he ones with built in speakers and audio plug. Those look like the way to go, but some I see look to be junk, while others look to be pretty high quality. Ones such as this one: Burton Online Store*-*R.E.D. Protection Skycap II Audex Audio
Look good, but I was wondering if having those speakers in there make it uncomfortable at all? Any advice you guys can give is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! ~Rob

I have an Audex Audio series helmet and it works great. The headphones don't get in the way and they're designed with an easy to press mute button on the outside ear flap. It keeps my head rockin without getting rocked you know. There are also benies with built in headphones but in my opinion the helmet is the way to go.
