This is not an original idea.

But this instructable shows you how simple it is to create helmet speakers on the cheap :)

What you'll need are:

1. Old Headphones - NOT earphones, those are too small, computer headphones have at least a 1W speaker inside them
2. iPod - the best for this would be the shuffle, the one with tactile controls and also the smallest
3. Velcro
4. Wires - you can just use the wires from the headphones, that's what I did
5. Soldering skills

Dig through your stuff and you'll probably find some old headphones, I found some computer headphones that I got as a freebie when I bought a PC desktop, if you don't have any, just buy some, they are quite cheap. I also found an old iPod shuffle, the 2GB memory would give me about 3 hours of music which is great! Of course you'll be needing a helmet to put it on as well :)
