Giro Tuneups - 2007

I added these to my G10 helmet and used them all last season. They worked well for me with no sound problems. And they still keep your ears warm. The only problem I had was fumbling around trying to connect the cord into the earpad while wearing the helmet (I like to leave the cord running through my jacket at all times so you just connect ipod and helmet and have tunes). You can't see what you're doing and the connector can get moved around inside the earpad so you have to get just the right angle. Otherwise great.

I was a little hesitant to purchase these since my helmet model (Encore) was not listed in the product info but was reassured when I read the comments that these worked on all Giro helmets. The earflaps do not fit well in my helmet ant here is no way to secure them to the helmet or the strap at all. The sound is good and it is nice to not have head phone under my helmet. Also, the clip that holds the volume control to your jacket broke the first day I skied with it and now it just hangs there. I'll probably keep them and just sew them to my helmet straps so I don't have to worry about losing them but I'm not as thrilled as I had hoped I'd be. When I need a new helmet, I'll remember to splurge for one that already has the headphones in it.

Just a great product for Giro helmets. The thought of smashing an ear bud into my skull due to a solid wreck always bugged me. The ear pads are just as warm as the original and the in-line mute/volume is really nice.

this is my second tune-up, i ride around 100 days a year and use it every day, replaced last one because i left my chin strap undone and helmet was ripped off, tune-ups did not like that

I agree with the previous review. I bought a couple as gifts and one for myself. It's great for the one helmet it happens to fit, the others are jerry-rigged and a little funky. Sound is good, but clip broke the first morning and one channel goes in and out, probably a sloppy fit for the jack. Good for the price, but more hassle than it is worth.

The fit is fine in the helmut (recommended). However, both channels do not work at the same time. Tried in different iPod devices with the same result. If the mini-jack is rotated then it will switch to the other channel/side but both did not work at the same time. Have returned for exchange.

I love the tune ups. Ear pads snap in easily, and the sound is fine. I have not experienced any of the sound problems that others have in other reviews. I will say this you need to push in the connection to the ear pad hard. It snaps in to stay tight. If you dont push it in you will only get one channel of sound.

Now let's be realistic, every one of us had snapped headphones on the slopes. No headphones can stand up to a hard slam. For 20 bucks, this is a cheap way to rock tunes in your helmet.
