Okay, I didn't buy these speakers for their intended use, so I can't attest to how they work as actual helmet speakers. When I was a kid I had this flat speaker that went in my pillow so I could listen to music as I fell asleep, without anyone else hearing it. As someone who's suffered from insomnia throughout my life music has often played an important part in helping me to relax.I also have suffered from tinnitus for as long as I can remember. In the last year or so my tinnitus has changed and become worse, at times becoming so loud as to cause a panic attack. Needless to say this has added to my insomnia. So I decided to turn to my old friend, music. Unfortunately, I have a problem when it comes to music at bedtime these days. Her name is Nora, and she doesn't really like the TV or music on after a certain hour. I remembered that speaker from my childhood and started to search for a similar one. What I found disappointed me.I thought given I'm now 50 years old, and the advances in technology over the years since my childhood, I'd have no problem finding an acceptable pillow speaker. I couldn't have been more wrong. Somehow pillow speakers got thicker and were now more noticeable under my pillow. Adding to this issue is the fact that, due to my oxygen use, I sleep in an adjustable bed in an upright position. For some reason Nora doesn't object to this. Because of this these new bulkier pillow speakers tend to drop in my pillow so they sit on my shoulder, and I find this to be uncomfortable. The more lightweight speakers have less than desirable audio. I found myself telling Nora she was just going to have to get used to music playing when we went to bed. She really wasn't happy about this, and made her displeasure known almost nightly. It started to create a real issue between us. Since I love Nora with all my heart I told her I'd try to again to find a more personal solution.So back to the search I went. This time I decided to look at bluetooth speakers, because as well as being bulkier than what I was looking for, the previous pillow speakers I'd tried were all corded. The cords provided their own issue as Nora doesn't like them. Well, that's not *quite* true. I'm not sure whether Nora actually *likes* cords, or just finds them appetizing, because she likes to chew on them. Have I mentioned that Nora is my nearly six year old fur baby? No? I may have forgotten, because Nora doesn't seem to understand that she is a cat and not a human, who's in charge of the house. Anyway, the search had now switched to bluetooth pillow speakers.Again, I wasn't finding anything I found to be acceptable. Most bluetooth speakers in this category were, again, either bulkier than I required, or simply didn't hold a charge long enough. The problem here is I normally leave the music going until I actually fall asleep. The speaker then remains on until I get up in the morning. At best I would get two or three days before they would need recharging.Now I'm definitely an out of the box thinker, and have raised my son to also be. So at some point my son comes to me and suggests motorcycle helmet speakers. Due to where they are placed they tend to be lighter weight and on the thinner side, as well as bluetooth. So after a bit of research we settled on these. I decided not to get my hopes up, especially because I was trying to use them in an unintended way.When they arrived a quick try passed them enough to allow for a few nights use to really test them out. I fully charged them and prepared for operation sleep. To get them to stay in the area of where my ears would be I pinned the connecting wire in two places, allowing the actual speaker to drop from the pinned spot. I wasn't thrilled with this, but it would work enough for testing purposes. After one night I was thrilled to have found something I thought could work long term. There were only two questions. How long would the charge last, and how to place them in the pillow without using safety pins?Question one took a minute to ascertain the answer. At the end of the first week I hadn't needed to charge them at all.. If all they lasted was a week I could be happy with that. I decided to hold my review until I could include how long the charge actually lasted. I'm very pleased to say that a full charge lasted THIRTY THREE DAYS. Frankly, I'm astounded by this. The speakers go into standby mode when there's no music after a certain amount of time. This standby mode is so low powered that there is virtually no battery consumption during this time. Only having to charge once a month is MORE THAN fine by me!So now I was only left with speaker placement. I also wanted something that wouldn't be too difficult when it comes to needing to remove the speakers for charging. I came up with this idea long before they actually needed to be charged. I decided to create pockets. I marked the exact place where I wanted the speakers, and then made two small pockets from spare material from the flat sheets, which I don't use, from my sheet set. I then hand sewed the pockets to my pillows, leave one corner open so the controller could slide through. Keeping the controller on the open side of the pillowcase allows for me to just reach up and control volume or playlist by simply feeling for the correct button. Because the speakers themselves have the hook portion of velcro on them I decided to attach a small piece of corresponding velcro on the inside of the pockets, just for added protection that the won't slip out when I sling my pillow out from behind my head in the morning. I was incredibly happy with this solution. I've included pictures of the speakers in their pillow pockets. My pillow may look well worn, but it is clean.As for the sound quality of these little speakers, I find it acceptable for my needs. I do find that for some of my tracks the volume needs to be near the max output for the speakers. But remember, these are supposed to be placed in a helmet, which would put them basically on your ear. I don't think they'd need to be up that much for their intended use. And for many of my tracks they don't need to be up to the max output. I'm currently working on internal song adjustments to try and get all my tracks to an equal output level. They're small speakers, so you're not going to get any booming bass from them, but the audio coming from them is crisp and clear, without any artifact noise, even though I'm listening to them through a pillow.All in all I am extremely pleased with my purchase, and I would definitely buy them again if these were ever to need replacing, as long as they last a reasonable amount of time. I'd definitely recommend these speakers to anyone looking for a pair of low profile pillow speakers. While I cannot attest to their intended use, I'd still recommend them as helmet speakers as well. If they work for what I'm using them for I can't see why they wouldn't work in their intended usage.

Pros. For the price compared to other headsets this is an awesome deal can’t beat it. It’s super easy to connect. I haven’t used it for more than an hour so I don’t know how long the battery last but I haven’t had any issues dying on me. I ride a Harley Davidson with aftermarket Vince and Hines loud pipes, at first when I put the speakers in my helmet and I went for a ride I couldn’t really hear them over the pipes once I started moving fast and I was ready to return them and I was already looking for another headset but I thought I would give it another try and see if I could adjust the speakers in the helmet to make them a little louder which I did and by just moving the speakers around a little bit I hear them fine now but it may not work in every helmet but I don’t see why it wouldn’t .Cons . So like I said before with some adjustments in your helmet you can hear them fine and super loud which I don’t think you should have them super loud to be honest with you I don’t think it’s safe I like to be at a level where I can still hear what’s going on but also hear my music well. Yes I pretty much have them at full blast or one notch below full blast and it’s loud enough now the sound quality isn’t super good but honestly I think it’s pretty good I listen to a lot of hip-hop and metal and the base is all right it could be better probably if you paid $200 for a better headset you’ll get better sound but like I said before you really want to completely not hear anything on the road just your music ? For me no. I don’t like the fact that once you have the speakers and the microphone all set up in your helmet in order to charge it you have to run a cable into your helmet to the microphone. It would just be more convenient if it was easier to take out and just set it by the charger but it’s not a huge deal. Also when you’re charging it it doesn’t seem to have any way of telling you when it’s fully charged or even if you’re charging. When you plug in the charging cable it doesn’t make any sound I don’t see any light coming on indicating your connected to a charger you just gotta hope that it’s working and it charges and when you’re ready to ride it’s fully charged which I haven’t had a problem with.Overall for the money I think it’s pretty damn good I enjoy it I can hear it loud enough with some adjustments in my helmet over my loud pipes.I find myself rocking out while I’m riding my bike which indicates to me that I’m enjoying it and having a good time so that’s what matters .hope this helps
