Works well with good sound.
I have this installed in a snowski helmet but...the ski hills closed due to the corona virus. Sooo...I have been using the helmet and headphone set-up while I ride my mountain bike. I have used it on five hours worth of rides and it has worked as advertised. The button works to start and stop songs, advance songs, and to connect to Siri and phone calls. The microphone works well. The volume adjust works well even with full finger bike gloves (as does the button. Sound has little bass but I haven't tried adjusting for that yet. Volume is adequate even at 30MPH bike speeds.

Smith/Outdoor Tech just changed the game in helmet headphones. I love to listen to my music while riding down the mountain and before purchasing these I first gave another brand a chance, no names but they have a skull in the brand. Those died after half a season and before that the sound just came out like blown speakers. Enough about those, ok Pros: (1) Sound- if I just said they were "loud" that wouldn't fit the product right, they have a nice crisp sound that is perfect for what you pay for and when you do turn it up the sound stays clean and clear. They are loud if thats all you are looking for but I never turned them up all the way just because I never had to because they were loud enough without hitting the max. (2) Button on the Ear- Its a great feeling when you need to shut off the music in a hurry and you don't have to unzip your jacket and find the button on the line. (3) Great Custom Service- I asked a question on the page and within hours I had a reply (regarding the warranty) and knew that this was worth a shot. Now time for my one con...Con: I wish that this product was water resistant- I was reading through the instructions and seen that the product can be damaged by water, now being a snowboarder and loving to hit the powder in Colorado I know that while hitting turns I always kick snow up at myself and worried that sooner or later they might break down on me. OK, so overall these are great headphones, so far if I had the chance I would of wished I bought these first, Great quality, Great Sound, Good Material and great Warranty. If you have any questions let me know hope this helps and have fun out there

Worthless
Worked well/reliably for a couple days, then speakers started cutting out. Wiggling the connection a bit worked for a few more days. Now one of the speakers doesnt work at all and the other cuts in and out with the slightest vibration, never mind walking or skiing. Save your money, no matter what the discount, it isn’t worth it

I honestly cant imagine skiing solo without these. They sound really good, are pretty simple to use and you dont notice they are there when you dont want to use them. The cord gets a little annoying sometimes but you knew that going into it and it is a good length. I haven't had a problem with it. The ability to change songs by tapping the control on your helmet rather than pulling out your phone or fumbling with the inline mic is what really sets it apart. Its nice to puase your music quickly if you need to converse with someone

Ehhh, decent
Setup was easy, quality of sound is middle of the road. I usually buy $10 Chinese no-name speakers that usually last a season or 2 before the wire gets too bent to carry the signal. These don’t feel like too much of an upgrade, when these break I will be going back to no-name brands.

I like the design
This is my second pair of outdoor tech headphones. I like the design, being able to control music, check time, answer phone calls, read texts... all without pulling out my phone on the chair lift. The sound is ok, but sometimes is drowned out at high speed.The reason for the negative review is that they are not very durable. Granted I wear them everyday, but the ear push has failed in both pairs. The first pair would cut out sporadically unless I wiggled the cord and the speakers eventually just stopped working.I was lucky to live close to the seller (Blauers Boardshop) and they replaced them. If my third pair fails, and they don't replace them, I think I will try something else.

Tinny & Echoing Sound
I got these to replace some similar helmet headphones that had developed a short in the connection. These new headphones were very too quiet to hear an audiobook & I could barely hear the music. The sound was tinny and echoing.

Not reliable
I love this things when they work. The ability to pause/play/skip without taking glove off or phone out is awesome. But they are just poor quality. First pair broke after ~5 days on mountain. Second pair only lasted ~3. In both cases one of the ears stopped working and would intermittently cut in and out.Back to using regular headphones until I can find a similar solution that actually works.
