How good are the speakers? I very much enjoy using my ear buds atm but it's illegal where I live (Washington). Will my music still sound awesome?

Pretty good, though lacking in bass. I assume this is also largely dependent on the helmet you're going to mount it in. It comes with several foam pads so you can space the speakers as close to your ears as possible. I have mine setup in a Shoei Hornet DS, with the speakers just touching my ears. Gets plenty loud, never have to turn it up all the way, but again, lacking in bass a little. Otherwise, great quality.

Yes, the biggest factor is how good is your helmet at blocking noise.. The better quality helmets will make it sound as good as with headphones.. I run a AGV Horizon with no issues.. with the Bells it will not be as loud but still very good quality..

The closer the speakers are to your ears inside your helmet, the better they will sound. A lot also depends on how well your helmet keeps noise from entering and the loudness if your pipe, but using my iPhone as the music source, the sound is quite good, though not real heavy on bass.

I find that the sound quality is at least as good as ear buds and in fact feel better as there's no pressure on my ears from the helmet. I love my sena and listen to music evertime I ride.

The sound is as good or better than most earbuds. There are inserts that can adjust the distance from the speaker to your ear, so you can allow for differences in helmet design.

The bass is very good, however, I must warn you, if you blast it, you'll blow out a speaker, which is what happened to me. Hope this helps. :-)

Oh yes! The bass, in my opinion, is fantastic. I tried some 130 dollar earbuds once, and I loved the bass. But these are better. And cheaper.

The speakers are pretty good. I can't ride with the volume on full blast. Sorry I am unsure about the upgrade.

Well this truly is a very important point/question/answer. I live in a town house and I need speakers that wont be heard by neighbors, this is the true audiophile's lifestyle problem. What you have said about the sound being heard more in the listening room than in the entire house would actually be a good marketing argument for Martin Logan to promote this speakers. Ill test this out. Thanks guys.

On long rides I play music and hear it just fine. I do not use earbuds and play my music through the speaker. Actually I had to turn it down a few times because the other riders would comment on my music selection. (I tend to listen to hard rock & metal when I exercise.)

Unfortunately, i have not had the chance to play games with them since i use them for my office. However, they sound very good when playing music from my Jango account. The bass is very good for this system that i have to turn it down on the sub.

I found a way to hack them....I took them apart and turned the speakers out. Then popped the tabs off that hold each ear piece on and turned them back in. This makes them stay on all the time. I love the booming bass that actually moves your skin. This is extremely dangerous and unhealthy because when they are too loud it makes your head go into spasms from piercing your ear drums. But oh my god it sounds like a concert and the treble is amazing also. I have the Mountain Dew skin ones and I friggin love them. I have a video on facebook to prove I did this.

I love mine. They are more a convienence than a permanent way to play. They do exactly what they were designed to do and the sound great for what they are.

The bass is really good in my experience. I listen to mainly EDM and rap, and do some gaming as well, and these have proved to be stellar for all 3. Also works wonderfully for movies and tv.

How does the speaker sound? If you watch Hulu or Netflix, etc... are you able to listen at a reasonable level without the speaker distorting or do you need to use headphones or plugin external speakers?

It sounds great! I listen to alot of Rap and HipHop music, the bass works well for my taste. I've yet to hear any sound distortion at all! Does it or will it sound as good as a Bose, I can't really answer that question cause I never really heard the Bose portable speaker system before. But I think this was worth my money! I like the sound!

Hello Sindy. When I bought these speakers I paid 142.00 each. That's a total of 284.00 a pair. But from what I have read I stole them.

I purchased mine approximately a year ago and they work great. I cannot remember the name of the seller I purchased mine from via Amazon however they are 100% legit.As for if they are worth purchasing, because they come with the extra different sized bud's and in my case because mine have lasted (and I am hard on my headphones and electronics ) and still sound as good as the day I started using them most definitely money well spent!

Glad to help...People often see to be able to tell when I am using the headphones....when in low to med noise environments the output is great. Seemingly the headphones do not defeat exterior noise so the result is often a mixture of everything that is going on my side of the call. Functionality is awesome...as long as you're in an enviro that is not noisy you will love 'em.
