Best Snowboard Helmets With Bluetooth 2024

Skiing and snowboarding became a thousand times better since it became possible to have your Bluetooth-connected music collection to keep you company. Of course, there are also some folks who simply need to be contactable for work related matters. Whatever your needs – Bluetooth, we love you!

However, it seems that the demand for ski helmets with built-in Bluetooth is waning in favor of drop-in Bluetooth speakers and audio-ready ski helmets. Nothing wrong with that. After all, at the end of the season you can use your drop-in Bluetooth speakers in your bike helmet.

Ski Helmets with Audio

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 (a.k.a. ‘drop-in speakers’) 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.

Audio Compatible Snowboard Helmets

Wired connections can also have their advantages. For one thing, they don’t need to be recharged! So, if you’d prefer a wired snow helmet, you’re sure to find something suitable below.

Audio-compatible snowboard helmets have built-in, removable speakers, and the ‘audio ready’ ski helmets mean that there is a space for you to install your own speakers. That means you also have the option of installing ‘wired’ speakers or going for Bluetooth speakers.

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 safety when wearing Bluetooth helmets. Definitely worth a quick read 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 wearing a helmet.

Conclusion

I 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?

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. Mmmm!
