Helmet Bluetooth Speakers

The Goal

I wanted to listen to music while skiing without having earbuds falling out or hurting my ears under the helmet. The goal was to build high-quality speakers directly into the helmet while keeping everything hidden and comfortable.

How it works

I found slim acoustic drivers that fit inside the ear pads of my helmet.

• Installation: I carved out space in the internal foam to seat the speakers properly.
• Wiring: I ran all the wires behind the helmet liner so they don’t interfere with comfort.
• Plug: I added a 3.5mm jack at the base of the helmet so I can plug in a Bluetooth receiver or my phone.

Result

It looks completely stock from the outside. The sound is loud enough to hear over the wind and snow. Because there’s nothing in my ears, it’s significantly more comfortable for a full day on the slopes.
