Motorcycle helmet with integrated music
Nikkei.Net spills the beans on the release of a motorcycle helmet with integrated audio speakers/headphones by the Japanese company MMI Tech. Granted, In Japan, the motorcycle helmets look more like a construction site helmet with some padding, and whether you have one on your head or not in case of a crash, it doesn’t make much difference. This also reminds us of the company TUKA that released a phone which you didn’t have to hold against your ear in order to understand what the other party was saying, but the success of that device was less than nothing. This technology was called “Bone conduction” and the sound was transferred via your skull. And this technology seems to be used in this helmet too, as the Japanese government prohibited the use of conventional speakers because they would be too dangerous for the person who would wear this kind of helmet.

But listening music while you are driving a motorcicle is not illegal?
Well, it uses the bone techonlogy but… I think it could be dangerous.

Well this is Japan you know… a lot of “illegale” things in Europe or USA are legal here
like
Organised Crime
Prostitution
Corruption
Watching TV while driving
So for just listening to music on a bike who care, really?
It is not illegal to ride a motorcycle with music or headphones and it is not dangerous you non riding idiots so quit posting nonsense. I could go on forever typing all the reasons it\’s legal and giving you links to american made bluetooth headset companies etc… but I\’m not wasting my time on idiots who don\’t even ride. How much do you think a rider heres with a full face helmet on and loud pipes anyways.
