I A S U S High Def XSound 4 Helmet Speakers - Motorcycle Snowboard Helmet Speakers - Works with Most Comms with Earbud Ports – Includes Accessories for Install

These speakers are excellent if you demand high quality sound and fidelity within your motorcycle helmet. I started with the SENA 50S, then the CARDO Packtalk PRO, and I even purchased the SIPHON SOUNDPRO system. Over $1100 total and never being satisfied with the sound quality when listening to my music (I ride alone and listen to music - communications is secondary to me). You cannot get "premium" sound from any SENA, CARDO or SIPHON system despite what the sexy advertisements claim. The reason is because you need two things: speakers that are made of quality components (think of car speakers - rubber/metal vs paper/plastic) and more importantly a high output bluetooth DAC/AMP. I'm able to achieve audiophile quality sound with these IASUS Xsound4 speakers and a Qudelix 5K bluetooth DAC/AMP (https://a.co/d/0lflxWo) The Qudelix 5K is smaller than the CARDO/SENA/SIPHON units. These speakers (as well as the Cardo/JBL 45MM) require a high output amp if you want to be able to increase the volume (wearing earbuds) and get clean undistorted bass and music. My setup costs $230 and I used some 3M Dual Lock Velcro (https://a.co/d/iI8mZVb). The sound is excellent - clear, punchy bass that resonates through the helmet and clean treble at high volumes. I'm finally happy!Be careful when choosing a bluetooth DAC/AMP - there are many out there that sell for $20-$80. These are pretty much the same amp circuits used by SENA/CARDO to keep costs low. They are little more than bluetooth dongles and don't have enough output power to drive 45MM speakers like these. In other words, don't expect excellent sound by just replacing your stock CARDO/SENA speakers with these or the JBL 45mms. Siphon had the right idea to provide a solution for music lovers - the soundpro speakers can reach high volumes but it is so distorted and noisy that it's not worth the $200.Final note on these IASUS speakers:They are thick because of the driver components used. The install is tricky. Take your time and you'll be rewarded with awesome sound!

I use these in my motorcycle helmet. Given that my review may not be relevant to others. For me to hear over the exhaust I need these at max volume and even with the bass low they crackle. It’s unfortunate because I thought with the money spent they would work great. With the volume down and my bike off they sound great but that doesn’t really help while riding.

I run a Cardo edge with the Iasus Ear3H amp and these XSound4 speakers. I also wear earplugs when riding. They are PUNCHY and have a lot of bass. You can feel the bass vibrate in your helmet and against your ears with this speaker paired with an amp. The JBL speakers don’t get nearly as loud without causing a lot of distortion. The bass on the JBLs is also weak, Even when tested with an amp.With the XSound4, I’m able to crank the volume knob up to about 80 percent on the amp without any distortion. After that, it starts to get distorted but you really don’t need it any louder. Being able to increase the volume that much makes it so I can hear music clearly no matter the wind or speed I’m going. I also ride a naked bike so I’m getting a lot of wind when riding.I’ve noticed these speakers naturally have more bass when compared to the Cardo so I did adjust my EQ settings to have less bass to compensate. It sounds perfect to me on most genre songs when using both Spotify’s EQ Bass Reduction setting and Cardo app’s bass boost setting.Overall, I highly recommend it only if you plan on running an amp in your set up. JBL and Xsound4 are about on par without an amp. I do not think the Cardo alone can make use of the potential of these speakers. With an amp, there is a clear winner. So if you’re looking for an upgrade for your Cardo, an amp is a must otherwise you’re better off just sticking with the JBLs that came with it.

update! 12/3/24. after working with Mike who is very helpful. These speakers do not live up to the description.i have adjusted them several times and mike has sent me pads for thr speakers . However what happens is they sound great in the house/garage until i start my bike 23 roadglide. Then ALL the clarity dissapears. These speakers are basiclly "loudspekers" as they lose any clarity when riding my bike. I live in AZ and not a rural area,Phoenix. 70-80 is typical freeway speed. These speakers do not overcome the wind, engine, or road noise. They are very high pitched when volume all the way up tinny/Treble to try and overcome these issues. no clarity. My previous bike i built a stereo system with the suggestion from a pro installer, sound competition judge and competitor himself who has done all the science on how and what it takes to ovrcome all these issues to hear your music loud and clear! with My system i could increase the volume as high as i wanted and it would nevr distort, unlike these do by becoming tinny. I ride with others who have "systems" and i hear the same problems as these have loud but no clarityUpdate!! these are positioned correctly but just can't cut through these issues.i've had these since april trying to grt them to live up to the description but now after multiple emails and attempts I need to figure something else out! 2 Stars as mike is very helpful but its the product and not the service First update. Iasus contacted me and has helped me work through the issue I was having. Part of it is placement while the bigger unknown issue has to do with the Cardo system itself which has an eq in the app. Mike recalled having a similar issue with another person. They turned off the eq on the Cardo as I did and the sound was so much better! Thanks Mike for reaching out and helping with this issue. This vendor does care about you and the product they make!have the cardos speakers that camewith unit. wanted better clarity at highr volumes to overcome riding noise. these aren't working either when riding. tried adjusting per directions but still not better. reached out to iasus as to a solution. they sound great in the house but... real world to overcome roadnoist needmore volume and when that happens things get distorted/tinny on higher volume w no way to adjust with cardo or Iphone audio adjustments. may just return and look fo better solution!
