i got a mate who just brings his car to the spot, he has a 2000w amp and two 15 inch subs, no need for headphones, i can easily hear the music over my bike hahahahahahha

 

Thats a really good idea but we have a lot of spots close to houses and that will definitly get us run out. And its nice to have music on the ride to the spot or on canyone days or just cruising.

 

:YEAH DJ headphones... like MDR-V700? or Denons.....

 

i like the skull candy i think there comfortable never seen sony ear wrap only thing that i didnt like about skull candy is they work as ear plugs so you barely can hear whats goin on around you

 

You can go to radio shack, they have a few different wireless headphones, i got the smallest ones ($60.00), they are a wrap around but I just chopped that off and mounted the speakers in my helmet. Very nice since there are no wires, you can take your helmet off and not worry about wires, and just keep the ipod in pocket.

 

eh, so I was wrong...




2. All of the following practices are dangerous to do while driving. Which of these is also illegal?

Listening to music through headphones that cover both ears

Adjusting your outside mirrors.

Transporting an unrestrained animal inside the vehicle.

 

i dont have time to read all the post but two things

me and my buddies have fabbed up speakers in our regular icon and scorpion helmets and it worked great.

and in illinois yes its illegal to ride with headphones. just dont get caught or say it wasnt turned on.

 

I always ride with my ipod... for a whole summer i did. didnt affect me and if i needed to hear something i just paused the song.

 

traitor

 

+1 thats what i use

 

I just take out the pads, tape the earphones to the helmet walls, re-pad and wear the helmet like that and crank it to full volume.

 

i personally cant listen to headphones while driving or riding.. its distracting.


i once saw a girl driving with big *** headhpones and shakin her head as if it was her fav song.. while DRIVING! i honked just to see if she would look over and nothing..

 

in nevada you can have both headphones in BUT in cali you can only have one in. But when i ride in reno and in cali i always have both in, feel awkward with only 1 in.

 

im with you..ive done it a few times. i used to love doing it on my quad. but on the streetbike i like to hear my engine and the idiots around me. plus im always pullin up to lights and talkin to whoever im with.


but if you'd like. my buddy made a pretty neat system for music. he made a diy thread on another forum if you wanna check it out

I have a decent set of samsung rap arounds that work good....I got a phoen that has 3.5mm stereo output (same as normal headphones)....and they work good...but I more often than not like to listen to the engine and surroundings than any music ever produced....

 

2 years ahead of ya.

SONY MDR-v700's... 50mm 3000mw drivers.

 

The speakers are $150 Sony MDR-v700s. They are basically the best drivers for handling amazing amounts of volume without distortion. I've DJ'd on sound systems over 250k watts, and these had no problem with my near field monitors. Basically they can handle lots of power for headphones.

The music source is the Sony Network Walkman. Holds 1Gb. It's about the size of a normal bic lighter.

God where to begin... Ok, first of all, it can be eniterly controlled with the left hand. You twist the silver **** to change tracks. Just in front of that **** is a large play/stop button that you can feel even with gloves on. And best of all... the volumes are all programmable. So I set the "low" so that I can still hear people talk to me at lights... the "medium" so that I can hear traffic around me in the city, and "high" for highway riding. You can still hear the music clearly at over speed limit speeds. It can also be setup so that you go thru the 31 volume adjustments manually.

I press above the silver dial for volume up, and below the dial for volume down.

It's attached hook and loop, so when it starts raining, I can easily take it off 1 handed and put it in a pocket, and reattach while still riding after the weather passes.

The neoprene is nice to keep it weather resistant too.

I've put this system into 3 of my friends helmets, and they all love it. And best of all... in Colorado, it's completely LEGAL. Earbuds are against the law, but helmet mounted systems are legit.

The drivers are recessed behind the normal ear cavity area, and not only do not touch my ears, but they are not noise canceling either, so I can still hear what's going on around me.

Only downfall, is it costs about 300 bucks to make this setup. But well worth the cash imo.

I mounted some heaphones with a built in volume control in my Arai cheek pads. Headphones are a bitch when taking helmet on and off all day.

 

i dont know how you guys do it... i gotta hear the bike.
