Making helmets compatible with earphones

[LeBlanc]

I want to start to listen to some music while skiing, and I have a giro S4 helmet. When I put my earphones on with the helmet, the earflaps of the helmet push the earphones in and it hurts.

So I was wondering if theres a way of just making the helmet work with the earphones I dont want to buy giro tune ups, cuz I dont have money and I dont think they work with the S4.

Thanks

maybe u should jsu take off the earflaps, if u have long hair that usually covers the ears

take off the flaps, wear a hat under your helmet that covers the ears and wear your earphones under the hat

there ya go^. but tune ups r only like 30 bucks man. it will work better

 

[LeBlanc]

What kind of "hat"?

 

[grubix2]

Idk what to tell you man. I wouldn't recomend wearing a hat under your helmet. But what kind of head phones do you have now? I think ear buds would fit under the helmet's ear flaps nicely. And the flaps would help them stay in your ears. But if you can scrape together $30, definitely but tuneups. They work great, and are even a little warmer than the normal ear flaps. Thats what I bought with some xmas money.

get some 180's ear warmers with headphones in then and take out yer ear flaps on your helmet

i cut little holes in my ear flaps and stuck the ear things up there.. homemade tune ups

 

[LeBlanc]

I was thinking about doing that, but its a new helmet, so I dont know if I want to risk breaking it

 

[LeBlanc]

And I think that the tune ups dont work with the S4

find out if your helmet works with tue ups and buy thm, they're the dopest shit ever

like, a beanie or a toque

 

[LeBlanc]

I have like a thing that I wear inside my helmet on cold days, its like a thin toque kinda thing that covers my whole head with a big hole to see and I tried it without the earlfaps of my helmet with the earphones and it works well, but on cold or windy days it probably wouldnt be enough to keep my ears cold... I dont know

And also, is it safe to use a mp3 (creative zen micro) in the jacket without worrying about breaking it if I fall?

bumps

 

[$tezzyStu]

theres always a chance to break anyhting when your skiing

 

[corey74]

i have the 180 ear things too they work really good.. so just take off ur earflaps and they wont cause you any problems

 

[LeBlanc]

What are those?

 

[TheProfitSkier]

mp3 players wont break in your jacket, unless you are on a huge rail and fall right on the player

 

[LeBlanc]

^Maybe I can put some padding or something ... Cuz its my whole familys mp3 player ad they dont want me to break it

 

[mefis]

tune ups?

 

[beesteagirl]

I love my tune-ups... but if it isn't compatible then look for a light beanie style cap. Helly Hansen makes this thin Lifa beanie-- it's like long underwear for your head. I have friends that wear them under helmets during the winter.

read the whole fucking thread stupid!

hi can someone with r.e.d tune ups tell me how good they are, for example how they differ from just wearing ear phones under them, like when there not on how good is hearing etc.
