LET'S ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS
For proper installation, our XSound helmet speakers need to be touching your ears during use inside your helmet. You may use the included foam spacing pads to achieve this (XS3 only).
We also recommend that the helmet speakers are mounted in a more forward and lower position in the ear pockets to accommodate your ears more effectively.
Failure to do the above may cause damage to the speakers – the main cause being the volume gets turned up past acceptable levels to compensate for any wind and engine noise introduced by any gaps.
It is recommended to test and connect the helmet speakers directly to your smartphone or music player first using the 3.5mm cable and holding them to your ears as your music plays to confirm the optimal position before mounting them in your helmet.
Try connecting the helmet speaker directly into a smartphone or music player and play at the same volume. If the crackling or popping disappears, your motorcycle headset or Bluetooth receiver is likely the cause. They tend to not support low-frequency outputs because typically their stock speakers do not deliver audio in that range.
While our XSound series of helmet speakers are designed and tested to be able to play at max volume on smartphones and music players without distortion, IASUS does not recommend listening to music at excessive levels which may lead to temporary or permanent hearing damage. Please proceed with caution.
As the XSound’s quality makes them the ideal choice to replace the stock speakers which motorcycle headsets come with, we are unable to confirm the compatibility with every model of motorcycle headsets (and Bluetooth receivers) out on the market.
For tight fitting helmet enclosures, volume level and sound quality of your XSound 3 may be diminished if the ears get folded after putting on your helmet. When this happens, the audio does not have a direct path to your ears, hence the reduced volume and poor sound quality. Since it is difficult to access your ears due to the tight fit of your helmet, we included a Tab that was specifically to reach that are through either the space from your visor (when opened) or from the bottom of your helmet. The thin tab should be able to reach and be able to position your ears correctly. Also note that to optimize the sound quality of the Xsound 3, the speakers need to sit flush and directly on the ears. Sometimes, pending how you pivot the helmet the ear cavities are not aligned properly with your ears and that may also affect your audio experience. In order to benchmark the audio, we recommend that you listen to the helmet speakers on your ears directly prior to installation to have a feel for the sound and volume levels. The Xsound 3 package also includes a key ring for the Helmet Speaker Tab so that it can conveniently double as a great motorcycle key holder. This way you won’t forget to bring it or loose it when you are riding.

Got these to install in a Bell open face with a full wind screen and sun shade. Instructions were not included, but after some wonderment about the included spacers (which are so stuck together, they rip on separation), I managed to attain the optimum placement, i.e., in contact with the outer ear and directly centered over the canal. My anatomy is such that I only need a half-thickness of the spacers. Yours may vary. If you find you need to use the spacer, I recommend experimenting with them even to the point of reducing their thickness like I did. You can always add your own adhesive if need be, and the correct placement of the speakers is critical for the best available sound.
Speaking of which, I have to say that the sound output is pretty impressive. Plenty of defined-pitch lows without muddying up mids and highs.
Of course, like any sound source, root mean square applies here, so I wouldn’t expect to enjoy the same fidelity at even slow speed.
For me, I will be satisfied with easily discernible speech, so I can listen to books, pod casts, and route prompts on longer rides.
Good music is inevitably ruined by wind and engine noise. And, as far as I know, there is not a helmet or a speaker system out there that can overcome the limitations imposed by the physics of the road.

I had these in my helmet with my cardo HD, after awhile I bought the jbl audio out of curiosity, I was already impressed with these. After hearing the jbl audio I eas even more impressed by these. I let several people here these and the jbl and they couldn’t tell the difference. Audio is extremely important to me as I’m a musician, and I can barely tell the difference between the two, for the price these are crazy good, they fit great, and they’re almost as good as the jbl for half the price. Would buy again
