Better Sound Quality From Motorcycle Headsets

Motorcycle headsets can have pretty poor sound quality but many times it isn’t the fault of the headset. Proper positioning of the speakers inside the helmet is crucial to good sound quality.

The speakers should be positioned in such a way that they cover the ear. If the speaker is off to one side or the other, you will hear very little volume or no sound at all. Reposition the speakers so they are centered over top of the ear canal of each ear.

Secondly, the speakers should actually be touching your ear. In many helmets, that isn’t an issue as the liner comes in contact with the ear and when the speaker is attached on top of it, the liner holds the speaker against the ear. However, some helmets have a cavity at the ears. This will reduce both your sound quality and volume. To over come this problem, simply place a piece of foam (cut to the proper size) in the cavity and attach the speaker to it.

Here is a document prepared by Cardo Systems which illustrates how this is done.
