Has anyone tried wearing these with a cycling helmet?

I wear a cheap $20 Schwinn helmet with these + glasses for over an hour ever day. I find it pretty comfortable, but my gf didn't like wearing these with her sunglasses, which have chunkier arms around the ears.

Hi Dan,I personally use the BTS myself when cycling and they fit spectacularly. I use a Giro Atmos helmet and also wear Oakley glasses. The glasses themselves barely touch the band of the headphone but it still fits like a glove. The helmet (Giro Atmos in particular) has great clearance for these - however, some helmets that cover the ear might not. Hope this helps!

Personally, I find these headphones hurt too much to bother wearing and the sound in tinny. Anyone who thinks these sound good has bad hearing.

I don't remember the brand of my helmet - got it at wal-mart - but there are no issues with fit. Sunglasses can be a bit tight with them and the helmet, depending on the style, but it isn't hard to find a pair that works well over a long ride. The longest ride I've taken them on was 2 hours, and I had no issues with comfort.

I didn't. I attached mine to my helmet. I used zip-ties. Could do the same on the bike

You can if you use the helmet mount. You might have to be creative with the velcro alignment to get it snug.

Haven't tried it, but it's not likely. It covers your whole forehead, and wraps around clear back to your ears. It would conflict with the helmet across the whole front half of your head.

No, they will not fit through a hat/helmet. The best solution would probably be earphones, like the JVC FX40.

I'm intrigued by the idea of a net over my bike helmet. When I slow going up hills or at intersections in the spring, bugs come through the slots of my helmet and I can't hit or scratch them as they enjoy themselves biting my head. Stopping and removing the helmet takes time and lets more bugs catch up. I think I'll try it and see if the air is too restricted. Great brainstorm! Thanks!

Yes, I believe they would. Obviously depending on the type/fit of helmet but I think they'd be okay.

I use them for motorcycling and think they work fine. It's nice that they are connected. My helmet is modular and very noisy. These provide protection for the ears without drowning out all the ambient noise too much. It's the wind that the problem with my helmet and these work well and, a good value.

I wear my helmet with them in, but it is tight. I have been pulling the earphones out before taking the helmet off to because it is painful to do it the other way. I satisfied with the fit and not looking to buy another set that might be more of a flush fit.

Unfortunately no. These fit the face very tightly and hug the eyes to keep out any wind while riding. This also means that your eye glasses would not fit under them. I traditionally wear my contacts when I go riding. The best option would be to have your optometrist create a pair of Sport sunglasses with your prescription. Other than that, you might consider a full face or modular helmet that you could wear your eye glasses with while riding.

I have the AFX full face helmet and it works well. I put the speaker on using the Velcro backing on the top of the chin strap in the ear well and it is great. I've had friends call me and I've answered going about 50 mph and they had no idea I was on the bike. My email is bstickley1140@yahoo Send me yours and I can email pics.

I wouldn't recommend these for bike riding, I would recommend Harbinger wrist guards for that. And these typically run one size small; so I usually wear a small glove, but I wear a medium in these wrist guards (and they're snug). They are super durable though if you think your going to be falling off your bike lol :)

Hi, I don't see why you couldn't use it for bike riding. However, when I asked her riding instructor if she could use her bike helmet they said no that it was made differently. If my daughters bike helmet doesn't fit her this year I plan to use it so I say go for it.

I can wear a ball cap with them no problems so I assume a bike helmet would fit just fine

They are pretty loose on your ears so I would say no. Depending on the helmet strap you might be able to keep them in place, but I would probably check out more secure headphones for use with any physical activities.

I have not tried it on a vented bicycle helmet. I would go with the velcroe strap system instead for that. This would probably not stay too well because of the lack of surface area contact.

probably not... as I understand it, the helmet is to be quite form fitting to be effective & purposeful. That is how mine is I mean. The head phones do sit of my skull about a 1/2" - 1" but stay in place because of how the ear pieces are designed. I guess someone with a larger head might feel these are tight??? I just think they'd be uncomfortable under a helmet. Also, I would not want to loose that much hearing from using the headphones while riding. These are pretty powerful. Strong & sound great. But I would use some judgement on making sure I can still hear in most circumstances. I guess I'd say one would have to try them on....
