Audio helmet - Snowboarding Forum

Hey guys could anyone reccmend a decent audio helmet. I'm looking to spend around 100 or less. I'm thinking about the red hifi. Any other suggestions? any help is appreciated

Red Hi-Fi isn't that great. the helmet itself is of amazing quality but the audio... terrible. the sound is good but whenever i turn my head, the sound cuts off. i have to fiddle around with the wire for it to come on again. might just be my cord but i doubt it since it's brand spankin' new...

I have the Salomon Foil. Uh...I think it worked good. lol I can't remember, my Ipod decided to not play not long after I got to the mountain last year, then I lost the volume cable. lol oh well.....I need to find a replacement for that cable, but all searches turn up nothing :/

Edit:I may just end of getting a cable like this, hopefully it'll work.

Hopefully ya'll wont be like me. But if you do lose that ever so important cable, that's what you'll want.

I've got the Giro Omen with audio... not exactly within your price range normally (MRSP $250) but I managed to get snag it from tramdock for $110. Looks good, and the audio isn't half bad!

Giro Tuneups = crap
Bern 8tracks = cheap, integrated liner is dumb
K2 Baseline(?) = cheap
RED Skullcandy Skullcrushers = might be worth it if that's what you're into
Smith Skullcandy = decent
Pro-Tec Plantronics = decent

alright thanks for the help. Im probably goin to go with the smith holt with the skull candy speakers.

The Smith holt looked pretty good, but I went with the Burn 8tracks. Fits well, audio is fair for the price. pretty happy overall. Only let down is that its a hard hat not a helmet, meaning that it is not certified...

Regardless its pretty sound
