Heads Don’t Bounce – Information and resources regarding all kinds of protective headwear for many different types of sport, recreational and other activities.

When you want audio while skiing or snowboarding, a Bluetooth ski helmet is the only way to go. But, even better still are snowboard helmets with Bluetooth actually built-in to the helmet. And that is what we are focusing on here, a totally integrated system. Built-in speakers, and a built-in microphone in a wireless snowboard helmet with Bluetooth. Imagine being stuck on the ski lift for 2 hours without your Bluetooth-connected music collection to keep you company. Or, maybe you’re one of those people who needs to be contactable in case a colleague calls to discuss business. Or, even just chatting with your friends while hitting the powdery back slopes, “I’m right behind you buddy”. You can do all of the above with the right smart ski/snowboard helmet with built-in Bluetooth technology.

RELATED: How Should A Ski Helmet Fit? Best Bluetooth Ski Helmet Considerations First and foremost, as with any helmet for any activity, check that the helmet is in compliance with the relevant Safety Certifications. In most cases that will be ASTM F2040 in the United States or CE EN 1077 in Europe. Another important consideration which is often overlooked by many Bluetooth helmet wearers is how safe Bluetooth helmets are. Definitely worth reading about that before hitting the slopes at full volume. The next thing to consider is how easy it will be dealing with your Bluetooth ski helmet controls, like volume or answering a call. Keeping in mind that while you are skiing or snowboarding you will most likely be wearing gloves, so you won't want to be removing your gloves every time you need to do anything. Look for a helmet that has larger buttons for controlling the Bluetooth audio functions. And finally, sound quality. There's really no way you can check how it sounds without actually putting the helmet on your head. Even better is to try it on and ski down a slope with the wind rushing by. Now, how does that sound? Until you buy it and try it, you can only go by the reviews of others who have already bought the helmet to see what they have to say about the sound quality. Beware, take reviews with a pinch of salt, some reviewers tend to exaggerate or blame the product when they were the ones who made a bad choice. Try to read many reviews to get an overall picture. And, as with any helmet, when buying a new helmet, always be sure to buy the correct size helmet. Too tight, or too loose is defeating the purpose of the helmet. See our guide here on How Should A Ski Helmet Fit. Top ↑ Ski Helmets with Audio For some reason, there seem to be fewer choices of wireless Bluetooth ski helmets available this year than there were last year, so it's worthwhile adding a few of the better wired helmet options for those people who would prefer a wired option. Below the Snowboard Helmets With Bluetooth Audio section you will find some non-Bluetooth snow helmets that are either snowboard helmets with speakers built-in i.e 'audio compatible' snowboard helmets, or 'audio-ready' snowboard helmets which simply means that there is a space for you to install your own speakers, either wired or wireless. And that brings us to another new section, below that, for ski helmet Bluetooth audio kits which can be very easily installed in your new audio-compatible snowboard helmet. At the end of the season, you can take your Bluetooth speakers out and put them in your bike helmet. So whether you're looking for a wired ski helmet with audio or a wireless snowboard helmet with Bluetooth audio, or just a Bluetooth audio kit that you can add and remove at will, then I'm sure you will find something on this page.

I like the idea of having an App on my phone which can connect to my helmet and send an S.O.S message if I have a fall. I also like the idea of a PTT chat facility. Not that I necessarily want or need to be chatting all the time, but I think it could be useful when wanting to let family or friends know that I’m heading in, or "let’s go and have lunch now". Or even to check where someone is that you haven’t visually seen for a while. SUGGESTED: How Long Do Ski Helmets Last? I don’t necessarily need all the stats that the App can gather, but that could be interesting for comparison over a week or weekend. Also the battery capacity is a big plus as well. And finally, the prices are good. Not really expensive for what you get. On the other hand, dropping a pair of speakers into the ear pads then removing them when I get home allows me to get more mileage from my Bluetooth speakers than if they were built-in to the helmet.
