I bought a apple shuffle gen 4 the little tiny one. i don't know what kind of power out put this has, but I want to put speaker in my helmet.
I was thinking of buying a cheap headphone to use just take the headband off of it. 
what hp's do I need to look for to get the most loudness out of them don't want to spend more then $50.

You're gonna hurt your ears.
 
Just remember that the quietest helmet is running about 84dB at 60 mph. If you are hellbent on speakers in the helmet, I'd strongly recommend wearing earplugs.

bluetooth hemet
koss titanium drivers
fiio e6
 
seems to buffer the sound
my ears ring after i ride
when i don't wear this
the idea is the speakers are right on your ears
not outside the helmet

I've a Shoei Qwest. I wear Etymotic ER-4P with custom tips. Even with the 75 ohm converter, they have high output with the Fiio x3 set to low gain. It's a very efficient system and my ears don't ring since I get 25dB of isolation from the IEMs.

I just installed my AKG K403 in my helmet!
It was just too easy! Didnt need to broke or cut anything.
 
Not for a motorcycle but for my dcade snowscoot
 
I also have a Fiio E6 laying around.
 
Giving a second live to my stuff because I dont use them.
 
Cant wait for the winter now!
