Mount the soft Velcro disks on the liner of your helmet, in the indentation of the helmet padding, where your ears would line up. For the best sound quality, be sure to locate the speakers to the right location. Attach the right speaker (with the longer wire) to the corresponding Velcro disk that you applied on the helmet liner. Attach the left speaker (with the shorter wire) to the other Velcro disk.
