MP3 player on helmet

I don't know about anyone else but I hate wires blowing in the wind.
So I picked up a cheap MP3 player that I could use w/ gloves on and velco'd it to my helmet.
tools X-acto set w/ saw to mod headphones.
I also did this to my old Shoie a few years ago and just have to cut out some material to fit headset in.



cut up and modified headphone



then I cut into padding to insert headset


MP3 player installed on helmet and wire storage if MP3 player is removed or not needed


Shoie helmet mods




oh other box is amp if slabin' it on the highway at F'n high rate of speed but there are smaller and lighter versions out there now and avail for about $25.00
Hope you enjoy.

 

Great work. I also liek to listen to music while I ride, but I hate that the ear buds I use constantly fall out of my ears while riding, usually from the wire getting tugged from turning my head. I might have to work something like this up.

 

I will clean it up a bit and also show ho to cut up / mod headset monday.

this should be better

 

I use a cheap MP3 player with in-helmet speakers (made for a set of "behind the head" headphones). I have considered velcroing to my helmet as well, but for know I have the MP3 player in my pocket...this allows me to change the preset on the FM tuner so I can listen to the radio for my commute.

 

I use a Scala rider witht the built in radio. For mp3 I use an FM transmitter connected to the player tuned to an empty channel. Tune the Scala to the empy channel and away you go.

I know, more expensive but works like a charm, no wires and the cell phone calls override the music.

 

looks cool, but i always ride with earplugs..
