Ford27 Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 Cant seemed to find any reviews regarding helmet speakers. Any one know if they are as good as ear buds or have any experiance with them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CuttingEdgeRacing Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 I used them racing karts, they worked fine. You have to run your volume a little higher than ear buds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CC57 Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 Fellow ProTruck racer Legfixr has the RH2 speakers in his helmet and raves about them. Says there are much better and clearer than the earbuds. I have a set too and after -hopefully - this weekend I'll be able to provide you with my opinion of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truck99 Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 Just ordered a set. Hope they do work well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ups88john Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 weve been using them for a few years with pretty good results, have to glue the speakers back in from time to time but not a big deal. big john Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GINGERBREADMAN Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 (edited) I tried them and they suck big time...with really good mufflers they might be ok..but still no match for a good set of earplugs...know several late model guys that tried them and all went back to the old tried and true...there are earplugs that are better than others also...you get what you pay for...just my opinion...also the weight that it adds to helmet is very noticeable...but if your racing machine is slow and quite go for it....

CuttingEdgeRacing Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 also the weight that it adds to helmet is very noticeable you can tell the difference between 5-6 grams (ear buds) and 11 grams (speakers) of weight in your helmet!?!?!? Thats a pretty sensitive noggin you've got there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truck99 Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 also the weight that it adds to helmet is very noticeable Must have been a different model than the ones I just ordered. The weight of the ones I got was almost not noticeable in your hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legfixr Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 I HAVE THEM, THEY ARE FANTASTIC, KNOW MORE EAR BUDS, PROBLEMS ETC. THE ONLY THING I HAVE TO DO IS PUT MY FINGER UP UNDER MY HELMET AND MAKE SURE THE SOFT CUP IS AROUND MY EAR NOT OVER IT. CAN"T EVEN HAVE MY RADIO TURNED UP ALL THE WAY OR ITS TOO LOUD.

SHOULD HAVE READ ALL THE RESPONSES FIRST, I GUESS. I GOT THE ONES OFF RACING JUNK, TURBOS, OR SOMETHING. THEY ENDED UP BEING BOSE SPEAKERS, NOT HEAVY.

CC57 Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 Are these the nitro ones from rh2? Did you install yourself? I cananswer for Dale: yes they're the rh2 speakers. And they installed them for him. As a matter of fact, included in the installation, they also fixed a cabling problem he had. And when I sent my helmet to them to have the speakers installed, they also installed the helmet mike and tested a cable for me, at no extra charge.

CC57 Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Ok, here's your post race report on my first experince with the helmet speakers (Nitro from RH2): they are great! The audio coming in over the speakers was very clear and crisp. I ended up turning down the volume level to less than the 1/2-way setting (and I have bad hearing). I have custom molded ear plugs and these speakers work much, much better. Good luck with whatever your choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ford27 Posted March 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Thanks for the input...I was leaning that way but I think that seals it....going with the nitros. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
