Are you looking to buy a new helmet for your dirt bike? I guess you are considering one that has speakers or the capacity to carry them.
Like other highly adrenaline fuelled sports there has got to be a soundtrack for things to go down. While some riders prefer to hear the sound of the engines, others would rather listen to their favourite tunes while they ride their dirt bike.
Getting a helmet that either facilitates or accommodates this need will go a long way.
We have spent some weeks researching and hours testing out some the ones that available on the market. To be able to bring you the very best of the bunch we had to put them through their paces. It is with great pleasure that we can say that we have found some great helmet! You will love each one of these.
Are you In a Hurry?

If we had to settle for just one, we would have to go with the Torq T27 Full Face Integrated Blinc Bluetooth Helmet. It offers a great balance between style and protection.
If nothing for no other reason, it tips the other ones by being the only one that actually has integrated speakers in the helmet. You will find a more detailed review in the article.

Buyer’s Guide
Our goal is to always give a balance between the knowledge that you get from reading our content and the gear that you get. There are several things that we have considered when looking for a helmet that offers the option to use headphones in it. We will now take you through some of these considerations. The aim of that is for you to be able to independent take this information into consideration when you are making your purchase.
Adequacy
The first thing that we always want to remind ourselves is what the job of a helmet is. It is there to offer protection to your head in case of impact in that region. When you are riding a dirt bike there is bound to be the occasional accident. You cannot appreciate the value of the helmet until you find yourself in a situation that requires it. If you do not have one that is adequate, you may not live to tell the story.
Check the safety features of the helmet to ensure that it actually protects you.
Style
Dirt biking is a sport of passion. With passion comes style. Style should not be neglected in your considerations. It is lower on the least to adequacy which is a matter of life and death. However, this does not diminish its importance. Your helmet should be an expression of who you are. When you are out there it is one of the things that makes a first impression on people long before they can have a conversation with you.
You can consider style from two fronts, the colour of the helmet and the design. Consider what sort of shape you want the exterior could be. You can begin by looking at shapes that some riders you follow are wearing. You could also just go through Pinterest and have a look at images to finds helmets that you like. Pinning down on both colour and shape will put you in immaculate style.
Visor
The visor is a key part of the gear for making sure that your eyes are protected. Consider it wisely before making your purchase.
Price
No matter how rich we are, price should always be a factor. It is the wise thing to do. There is never a reason to overpay for anything that does not overdeliver on value. When considering your helmet make sure you compare its features with others at the same pricing point. Consider whether or not it is giving you the best possible value for the money. If not, there is no shame in moving onto something else.
If the value is provided or the product is unique it may be worth splashing some money on it.
