2. Installation in Your Helmet

The Kalence Ski Helmet Speakers are designed for easy drop-in installation into most audio-ready ski and snowboard helmets (e.g., Giro, Smith, Burton). Ensure your helmet has ear flap pockets suitable for speaker insertion.

Locate the ear flap pockets inside your helmet.
Gently open the Velcro or access flap in each ear pocket.
Insert one speaker into each ear pocket, ensuring the speaker grille faces towards your ear. The slim 0.47-inch profile ensures a comfortable fit.
Route the connecting wire between the two speakers discreetly within the helmet's lining, typically over the top of your head.
Secure the ear flap pockets.
