As an example, imagine someone banging on aluminum pots with a metal spoon. Would this helmet protect my hearing compared to a motorcycle helmet, thanks.

It depends on the Motorcycle helmet. Full head that completely covers the ears, no - the ear area is open so you can hear what's going on around you. As for a helmet that does not cover the ears or uses a soft cover, it's probably about the same. Bottom line- This helmet is designed to allow the user to hear.

They provide protection at the level that you can enjoy the music, but not get blown away. I used to use the foam and with those I could hear the words and people talking, but I could never enjoy the music. So it depends on what you are looking to achieve.

Hearing protecting earmuffs are for maximum noise blocking. We just took our 3 year old to a NASCAR race with the hearing protecting earmuffs from banz and she was actuallt able to take a short nap. I would highly recommend them. Noise protecting is More for reducing noises and would be better for sounds like chainsaws or hammering for example. The hearing protecting seem more padded but my daughter was able to still hear us talking to her when we were close.

I tried having them in my ears while standing next to a wheel grinder machine at work. When in use I thought it might make a similar racket. Anyway, the earplugs dulled the "high end" whine and some of the loud rattling sound. So, I guess it couldn't hurt for him to wear them to protect his hearing. Might not seem like much of a difference as far as volume, but the disruptive aspects of the noise were cut considerably.

Probably more safe than using headphones. You can hear the environment sound, which is important if you're riding on public roads.

The sound is not affected by speed except for the fact that you will observe increased wind noise. Just crank it up a bit louder - the sound quality is ok, it beats dealing with headphone wires fighting with your helmet and safer than wearing headphones too.

I doubt this would on a tight helmet. Never wore headphones with one on. Maybe a decent pair of earbuds?

It depends on the helmet, but if muffling noise inside the helmet is a concern, then I would tend to assume that the helmet padding does not apply any pressure over the ears, so these should work. If the helmet padding presses on your ears it may push uncomfortably against the earplugs, but then it would also muffle noise on its own.

I suspect they probably would as they reduce low frequency engine noise and wind roar on aircraft ... but I'm not sure it's a good idea from a safety perspective reducing hearing effectiveness when you need all your senses on a motorcycle.

I think it's a good helmet for MMA style grappling where a traditional wrestling ear guard is too bulky. For traditional wrestling, I would recommend something that just covers the ears and is a bit more protective around the ears themselves.

The modular helmet I use is a Bilt Demon. I got it at Cycle Gear. I would think it should fit/mount in most modulars. Having removable padding to run the wires would be a plus. Volume with my set up is NOT a problem even at highway speeds. I had the Cardo Scala G4 and definitely prefer the Sena for ease of use and volume.

Yes, it will do a great job even without helmet. But, isn't it dangerous since you can't hear the traffic and horns?

I don't believe so. It's not a motorcycle helmet. It does, however, offer better protection than a standard bicycle helmet.

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.

The construction is all plastic as far as I can tell. However, you're right in your thinking; because the ear cups are so large and round, the pillow or cushion will likely push them up on your head. From my experience it isn't a huge deal, from a comfort or listening perspective, but this is not my primary way of listening. So use your best judgment.

There are three different protection levels.When I am rıding motorcycle I am usıng high protection level.İt's blocking too much external sounds.

I use it on a 3/4 helmet and a full face flip up helmet. With my 3/4 helmet I purchased the base that allows me to use ear buds - less wind noise, better sound. On my full face helmet, I use the helmet speakers. Works great in both.
