A sports helmet with portable audio sound producing capabilities is disclosed for use on a wearer's head during physical exercise or sports activities at which head injuries are to be protected against. There is a protective shell head covering composed of impact absorbing material which has downwardly facing rim portions terminating above the wearer's ear canals. Straps are provided for removably fastening the protective shell on a wearer's head. A sound speaker is attached at the downwardly facing rim portions above the wearer's ear canal. The speaker is spaced away from the ears so that the ear canals are not shielded. The speaker is aimed so that sound emitted therefrom is primarily directed downwardly past the wearer's ear canal. Other sounds, warnings, or communications from the surroundings can also be heard. A portable sound signal producing device communicates signals to the speaker for causing desirable sounds to be emitted from the speakers during physical exercise or sports activity. Two speakers may be similarly provided, one on each side, for stereo sound.
