New member here. I am hoping you guys could help me out with this project. I fly a powered paraglider (ultralight airplane). like most ultralight pilots I wear a helmet that has a built in two way radio headset (the actual radio is seperate). Currently it has some really old speakers in the earpieces that are mono and sound like a tin can. What I would like to do is replace these with better quality headphone speakers and then wire in a 3.5mm input so i can listen to music while flying. Here is the tricky part for me - I would like to make it so that I can plug in a 3.5mm audio jack to listen to music but then when sound (coming from the two way radio) is being transmitted I would like it to cut out the music input and only play the voice coming through the two way radio.
So basically what I am looking for is a way to have two audio inputs and the second input needs to cut the other one out when it transmits sound. I woud prefer to make the 3.5mm input give stereo sound instead of the mono but if that is impossibe I know this will require a little soldering and what not. There is room in the housings for some additional equipment / wiring)
If you have a recommendation on what speakers to put in i am open to suggestions. I am not super concerned with quality as the engine noise will really make it impossible to get good quality anyways.
Thanks for any help
here are some pictures for you of the headset and I threw in a link to a video of me flying.
