Default J & M helmet speakers

I need it get a new open face helmet and thinking about getting a helmet with j & m speakers in it. Anyone have any experience with them? And recommend a place to order.

How about using ear buds?

many of us do, they block out road and wind noise- and can allow for a lower overall dB level.

I have an EH Classic, I tap off my speakers to a headphone jack by my left thigh- this require a $6 radio shack inline volume control

I had J&M install speakers and boom mic into my full face that I supplied. Works great. You can get the complete helmet or headsets to install yourself (or have them install).

Order via phone, online, catch them at a rally or do what I did and go to their Tuscon AZ facility.

I have the J&M elites in both of our helmets. The install wasn't too bad and they sound great. Some helmets are easier than other on the install. Depending on what helmet you want, you may be able to get it directly from J&M with everything already installed. That's my plan when I get around to getting a modular helmet (likely Nolan N44).

J&M Elite head sets one in Nolan N com and other in Arai both 3/4 with face shied far better then any other on the market IMO.

Good people at Sierra-mc and better prices. Very knowledgeable. I have gotten several headsets from them. I like Arai open face helmets with the integrated headset.

Arai hasn't made a true open face helmet in years. The best they have now is that helmet with that chinbar that moves upwards. I can't stand that thing. Unfortunately even though I think they made the most comfortable helmet, I had to look elsewhere for a true 3/4 open face helmet.

I have Arai Classic C, but they now have CT-Z and you can order it with the integrated J&M headset.

Do yourself a favor and look at the EdSets. His newest speaker model is amazing. I have them in my Nolan Trilogy 43E helmets for my wife and I. They really pack a wallop. His customer service is superb and his install fee is very reasonable. I do not think these are as easy an install as some on here describe. I preferred to have Ed install them. http://www.edsets.com/
