Review: side-by-side with Altas, Chips, and Nunchucks - In the 2024-25 season, I tried out - side by side - the Wildhorn Altas, Smith x Aleck Nunchucks, and Outdoor Tech Chips 3.0. I used them in my winter helmet to listen to music via bluetooth. Overall - I liked the Altas the best, based primarily on sound, but also with regard to ease of use, and price (far cheaper than the other two). The Chips sounded almost as good, but the controls are not as easy/useful to me as the Altas. The Nunchucks sounded very distorted, the app would not pair properly, and the buttons were hard to control. Buttons - Alta has 3 buttons, making volume, track changes, voice commands, and calling easy and intuitive (and similar to most other bluetooth headphones). It's easy to locate and operate each with gloves on. Nunchucks are two buttons and are less intuitive (requiring some memorization), for example, to change volume, you hold a button, and the volume cycles higher and higher, until looping around to lowest setting and stepping upwards again. Also, some two handed gestures are required (tougher when holding ski gear), and buttons are a bit harder to find and operate with gloves. The Chips are similar to the Nunchucks, and you'll need to memorize some key combos to use them (one click to lower volume, two to raise volume). Sound - I tested the units side by side (one brand on each ear) The Altas have nice bass and clarity (though they're slightly lacking in high end). The Chips were similar but not quite as good: the sound on the Altas is slightly more assertive and full. The Nunchucks have more high end treble and somewhat less bass, but the mid and upper ranges are significantly distorted and compressed. Sound quality is subjective, but I honestly don't understand how any reviewers can enjoy the sound of the Nunchucks… the harsh, distorted midrange gets tedious quickly. None of the headphones has hifi sound, but the Altas are pleasant and on-par with most good sounding sub-$100 bluetooth headsets that I've owned. Volume on all models is fine, though Nunchucks sound distorted at any volume. Features - The Altas were up and running in seconds with simple bluetooth pairing. The features all worked fine - voice command, volume, pause, track change, calls (no intercom included). The Chips were easy to pair as well.The Nunchucks require an app, and after 20 minutes of trying, I could not get the headphones to pair with the app, because the required firmware update consistently failed. I did get the Nunchucks paired via my phone's regular pairing, but without the app, you lose intercom, equilization, and all other advanced features, making the headphone features equivalent to the more rudimentary Altas. Other - My only gripe with the Altas (other than lack of intercom) is the micro-usb port (rather than usb-c). An added bonus to the Altas is simple packaging (a pouch in a baggie), compared to the elaborate cardboard packaging of the others, which gets immediately thrown in the trash. Each of the models fit well into my large helmet, though the wire on the Chips was slightly short. I hope this info helps… isn't it sad that even "professional" reviews just regurgitate the feature lists of these items, and don't seem to do real, hands-on, side by side comparisons anymore?
Review: BEST! Bluetooth headphones for snowboarding/skiing - Ok I came back just to review these after using these all last season & using them yesterday because I found myself enjoying them so much! And no, this isn’t your typical AI-generated desertcart review ;) Tried several pairs of Bluetooth headphones & were disappointed with either sound, battery life, bluetooth connectivity - after reading the positive reviews, decided to pull the trigger at around $100 last year. Compared to other similar products I’ve tried, these are the best in quality & absolutely worth the $. I like listening to more bass heavy music while riding (EDM, hip hop) and these definitely do it justice, are some of the FEW headphones that offer a nice bass response, volume gets nice and loud, controls are easy to click, BT connectivity is stable and consistent and has a great battery life. Essentially all the functions you want in a speaker that is designed to fit in the helmet. Now all the reviews mentioning the sound is flat, thin, lack of bass clearly are not getting a proper fit with their helmet/ear. If the speakers are too far from your ear & have a load of padding on the way, of course they’re going to sound dull/flat. Make sure you use these with the right audio capable helmet/ear pads and you’ll definitely appreciate the sound quality. To note, I used to have them in my Smith Mission helmet but found it a bit uncomfortable after some time (due to lack of any padding between the speakers and my ear) so switched to a audio capable helmet from desertcart and now I get to enjoy riding with high quality music which makes the experience so much more enjoyable. I do agree the micro USB charging is a bit outdated, but I’m sure they are planning on upgrading the tech in their next version of this speaker :). But Wildhorn has definitely earned a supporter/fan for this product!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Would these work with a Giro helmet?**
A: It may vary how it fits depending on the model, but I believe it worked successfully with mulitple Giro helmets. The cord length is 9 3/4 inches. It should go along the back of your helmet once placed in correctly. The overall length from each ear piece end is 14 1/2 inches. Hope this helps!

**Q: Do these have an Aux port to connect your phone manually in case batteries die?**
A: There is a port for charging so you could connect to a portable battery source.     The batteries on these are excellent so you shouldn’t have any issues

**Q: Will these work with older iphones? Like the 4S and 6S?**
A: These should work with you Bluetooth enabled device

**Q: Has anyone used these with an Oakley Mod 5 helmet? It has two small pouches but not sure if these speakers would fit.**
A: The speakers "fit", however They seem to be pressing on my ears and it triggers the button if nudged to pause / play.  Will test them tomorrow but may be returning them sadly.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Simple Reliable Operation
*by M***6 on December 2, 2024*

I bought the Wildhorn Alta bluetooth headsets at the start of the 24/25 season, with the main goal to use it with the Carv ski training unit and listen to music. As others have mentioned, you'll need to remove the foam placeholder inserts in your helmet first, otherwise you'll be listening through 1/2" of foam. Pairing was straight forward and for the 5 sessions I've taken them out so far, the headset connects right away to my phone without any fuss. I haven't encountered any loss of connectivity while using the headset. The audio quality is good for what it is - I find it super easy to hear the Carv feedback and instructions at medium volume, even mid-ski. I also find the music quality to be good - maybe light on the bass, but with deadmau5, Grandbrothers, and Orbital on heavy rotation, I've been pretty happy. Controls are super easy to use, but if it's your first helmet audio system, it'll take a little bit of time to build muscle memory to know where the buttons are. The ridge on the left ear piece can be felt with gloves, but I wish it were just a little more prominent. The buttons will give a prominent audible and tactile click - it's a small thing, but unlike mushy buttons, you're confident you've pressed the button. I don't know if this is a software or hardware thing, but one downside is if you click the up/down buttons too quickly, the headset appears to treat it as a long click, so it adjusts the volume rather than allow you to go through your music tracks quickly. You do need to be a little deliberate in your actions when trying to change volume or tracks. I also used the "OK, Google" audio commands using the built-in mic. It works well most of the time. However, when there is a lot of background noise or wind, it will often not pick up the command. When it works, it's great - simple things like sending a text message, choosing a different playlist, or just finding out the time provides a lot of quality of life improvements. One last nit pick, the charging port is on top of the left ear piece - this means you'll need to pull out the earpiece to charge it. The flat cable between the two earpieces is braided, but I do worry a little bit about it's durability if you need to take the earpiece out frequently. If you only use it a few days a season, it's probably not an issue, but if you do quite a few days a season, I can see it as being a weak point in design where cable might break. Overall super happy with the purchase - the sound is clear while the environment is audible, the voice commands improve your quality of life, and it's easy and reliable to use. -1 star for the mic issue in noisy and windy situations as well as button behavior when clicked quickly, for a final score of 4 stars. Highly recommend the headset, particularly if they are ever on sale or have a coupon.
