XSound 2 High End Motorcycle Helmet Speakers Review
Unfortunately, these headphones by themselves have pretty good sound (in a quiet room held right up to your ears), but they are not powerful enough for most portable devices for use in the helmet. My iPhone speakers are by far louder, but they’re not comfortable in a helmet. I even bought the “Boostaroo” (a bigger disappointment) as recommended on Amazon, since some comments had suggested before I bought that they were on the quiet side. The Bust-a-roo did almost nothing to improve these speakers’ volume and actually created distortion.

I have Bluetooth set-up but bought these to install in my helmet for an upcoming long trip which will exceed the daily battery charge of my Bluetooth set-up. These are simple, easy to install. The speakers are a little bulky, but the Arai helmet has a large speaker cut-out area to accomodate them, which will not be true of all helmets. It’s nice that the cord has a disconnect point up near the helmet chin strap (easy to find) and has a nice volume control wheel. I would have liked the cord to be just a few inches longer, since the reach my handlebar-mounted Garmin is a bit tight, but will be plenty long enough if plugging into an MP3 player in your jacket pocket or tank bag.

I can’t speak as far as the sound quality of the speakers since I could not install them in my Shoei RF1000. It just did not fit. There is no room left for my ears. I just ordered a Scorpion EXO 700 and hopefully they will fit in that one. I’ll be back to report.

When I got these I was thrilled. Good sound, more than enough volume (I ride a 250cc scooter so no loud pipes). But I’ve only had them a couple of months and I think the internal wire has already become frayed. The sound is cutting in and out. It still works if hold it steady at the perfect angle but every time I turn, hit a bump, blink, etc. my music cuts out until I wiggle the wire to find the ‘sweet spot’ again. These would be great speakers if the wiring was beefed up a little.

I purchased these headphones for my brother as a Christmas present. He wanted these because while riding his motorcycle, he was unable to hear his music playing through normal headphones. He says these work much better, but could be a little louder.
