• If you are a Highway man and passionate for your biking, skiing or snowboarding and loves music. Then Helmets might have always been disappointed you.
• Here is a new system special designed for you so that you could add boost to your fun while riding.

• Well most of you are already thinking about headphones and internal helmets speakers, but actually it is not. Headway is using a bit different, more comfortable and convenient principle which ever had been used for this.

• And the coolest thing of headway device is its completeness It can be tweaked to  any helmet with its a solid shell, and this expands its  usability , as motorcycle riders, snowboarders, skateboarders and so on.
• Now , I really don’t want you to wait more.Headway is a new device that turns a helmet in to a wearable speakerAlthough it has the same effect of a speaker with high bass quality .
• Now let me tell you that,the sound is actually transmitted by vibrations through the use of surface transduction.

• Now, using material resonance for conveying acoustic signals is not new, with speakerless music sources such as the Terfenol-D or the Feonic Soundbug being around for quite some time now. Cool that only now someone though of blending it with the helmet technology!
• The device attaches to the helmet externally using a magnetic mechanism in combination with a secure mounting system, and turns the whole thing into a wearable speaker. Music is streamed to the system from a smartphone, and controlled using a companion app

• Headway’s CEO, Sophie Willborn explains that the device “turns the whole helmet into an acoustic resonating body with outstanding audio quality.” A music and motorbike enthusiast herself, she realized that there was nothing on the market that enabled people to comfortably listen to music whilst wearing a helmet, hence Headway was born.  “I was overwhelmed by the sound inside the helmet,” she says.

• Frustrated with having to deal with awkward headphone cables and ear buds that become easily dislodged, she went about finding a solution. One of the ideas she tried was surface transduction and it proved to be surprisingly successful. "I was overwhelmed by the sound inside the helmet," she says.

• After working with the Berlin Startup Academy, Willborn was able to develop protoypes until a final design resulted in a 3D-printed device that could communicate with a smartphone through Bluetooth “It’s like being in a sound box. The whole helmet is the acoustic resonance body so you can hear the music from everywhere around you. The best thing is, you can feel the bass. The whole helmet vibrates when you hear music with strong bass.”

• The next step for Headway is to secure funding through crowd sourcing this April.A variety of issues were tackled during the development process, including what material to use, how long the battery should last, how the device should be attached to the helmet and what features the app should have. The name of the device was also changed from Rockatoo to Headway.
• Despite these challenges, and only being at the development stage, Headway has already won several awards, including first prizes at Idea Camp and the Betahaus Festival Hardware Pitch.and if all goes to according to plan, then you can expect to see the wearable speaker later this year with a price tag of around $270
