GSI Super Quality Motorcycle Helmet Dual-Sided Earphones - Wind and Noise Cancellation Great Sound - Fits in Helmet Earphones Slot - Connects to MP3/iPod/iTouch/Nano/Classic/CD Player Audio devices

I'll keep this short & sweet.

At first I was looking at all kinds of expensive wireless options to put music in my helmet, while on those long cross country motorcycle rides, but came to find the GSI headphones here on Amazon. In the past I've used ear buds and very carefully tried to put the helmet on my head without pulling them out of my ears but this ususally resulted in a comical amount of time & effort as it never worked the first try. I got these yesterday and installed them in about 5 minutes. There is a layer of double sided tape on the backs to retain the speakers to the helmet. The tape is actually attached to a layer of velcro so you can remove the filter for cleaning & easily remove the speaker without having to try to get them placed exactly where you had them before. This set also comes with a stretchable coiled cable with an inline volume adjustment and shirt/jacket clip. My helmet now slides on and off of my head as it should and the speakers dont get in...Read more

Daily sportbike commuter, with anywhere between 45min to an hour ride between home and work (depending on what speed the throttle "sticks" and traffic flow...). During which time it does help to have something to listen to other than the surrounding traffic. So began my search for an alternative to ear buds like previous reviewers and came across this. After reading the comments about this item and carefully thinking about it while trying to readjust my then current earbuds within my helmet on one of those mentioned commutes, I decided to take the plunge and try it for myself. At $19.99 and the option to return if not satisfied, I figured it shouldn't hurt. I've been using it for almost a month now and the bottom line is this:

- It's $19.99...
- It does what it's supposed to do...
- It does not cancel wind and noise...see picture for explanation! ;)
- It's $19.99...
- It does need an amplifier to boost the sound (i.e. Fios, Boostaroo...)...Read more

Not sure what all the gripes are about. These work and do the trick for what you need.

I have an 08 HD Street Bob with Screaming Eagle pipes and stage 1 intake. On the road going 80-85 these provided enough volume to drown out a good amount of wind noise but not too loud you can't hear what's going on around you. I took the earpieces, separating the hook and pile surfaces and mounted the speakers directly to the inner fabric of my helmet in the cut outs for my ears. It took some playing but after a couple of tries it worked just fine. Ran the wires behind the liner to the back then clipped the wire to my collar. I had my iPod on my right forearm and that was that.

If you're looking to enjoy some complex overture on the road, then these aint it. If you need some music to break up the scenery but still want to know what's going on around you, then these are for you.
