Helmet Headphone Electronics Tutorial - Hearing Enhancement

This sounds like something I need in my helmet, good thing I know a guy CrimsonViper97

I don't know man, he'll probably just forget it on his bench a bunch of times...

C2E2 2027 isnt that far off

it is a AAA battery holder, apologies for not catching that typo!

AAs would also work but yes that was a typo.
For those of you more technically inclined, it's possible to power these off of a USB battery pack with the addition of a 3V regulator. That's what I did for my MKVII helmet. I did run into a buzzing problem if I had it on the same battery as my fans though. Maybe some decoupling capacitors would help?

If the volume adjustment easy enough to turn while the helmet is on? or do you have to take the helmet off to adjust volume?

 

[CrimsonViper97]

It all depends on where you mount it tbh.

I plan on starting this once my mk7 v2 helmet is done for my cyber showdown set. I’m retiring the v1 since it’s signed by steve downes now.

This is exactly what I need! I’ll definitely be implementing this in my helmet!

 

[KGSupreme]

Gonna do my best to use this. Awesome

Currently working on an ODST Helmet with this addition. I'll hopefully report back soon that it all went well

Thank for the great tutorial! You saw it working on my helmet in cleveland this past weekend. I'm so happy I can hear better!

A note for people following this tutorial: the company that makes the shooting headphones seems to have changed suppliers for their microphones. Instead of being pea-sized, they are now slightly smaller than a dime in diameter. They still work great, but you may have to be clever about how you mount them. There's two little detail bits on each side of the mk 7, that's where I mounted my mics.

Thanks for the Helmet/electrical NobleofDeath16 and CrimsonViper97 , I'll print a box for the pcb, and move the ears with padding to fit my face

this is awsome im going to be using on all of my helmets from now on

Could i switch the power supply to a USB port to plug in a power bank?

Could i switch the power supply to a USB port to plug in a power bank?

Yes you can! That's what I did for my helmet. I used a 5V battery bank to power fans, a mic, and this hearing system. here's a link to my circuit diagram:

N8TEBB's Mk 7 Build!!!!!

DEPLOYMENT This is the most accurate suit I've made, so I decided I wanted to try my hand at going for that tier 3. I had to make some modifications first though. First, I have a camera that sits in the middle of the chest piece. This had to be covered up and replaced with the proper details. I...
