Ather Energy first showed its Halo smart helmet in April. Back then, it was priced at Rs. 13,000. This was an introductory price for the first 1,000 customers. After the first 1,000 helmets were sold, the price was supposed to go up by Rs. 2,000. But now, Ather has dropped the price by Rs. 3,000. This means you can now buy the Halo helmet for Rs. 10,000.
Why is the Price Lower?
Even though the Halo helmet has many cool features, it seems like not enough people were buying it. That could be why the price has gone down. Ather wants more people to use this helmet, so they made it cheaper.

Is the Halo Helmet Safe?
The Halo helmet is both ISI and DOT-certified. These are important safety badges, but some people say there are other helmets that may protect better. For example, there are helmets with the ECE 22.06 rating. These helmets are also much cheaper than the Halo helmet, but they might be better for protection, which is the main job of a helmet.

What Makes the Halo Helmet Special?
Even though other helmets might be safer, the Halo helmet has some very cool features that make it stand out. One of the best things about it is the two speakers from Harman Kardon. These speakers are hidden inside the helmet, behind the soft padding. You can listen to music without blocking the sound around you, like cars or emergency vehicles. This is important because you still need to hear what is happening around you while riding.
Once the helmet is connected to your smartphone, you can also answer calls. This makes riding much easier and safer because you don’t have to take your hands off the scooter to use your phone.

How the Halo Helmet Works with Ather Scooters
The Halo helmet has a really smart way to connect with Ather scooters. It uses Bluetooth to connect, and the rider can control music and answer calls using buttons on the scooter’s handlebars.
The helmet also knows when you’re wearing it. There are tiny sensors inside the helmet, and when you put the helmet on, it automatically connects to your smartphone. This means you don’t have to mess with buttons every time you ride.

Charging the Halo Helmet
One more cool thing about the Halo helmet is how you charge it. You don’t need any cables because it charges wirelessly. The battery is also very strong and can last for a whole week on a single charge.
If you have the new Ather Rizta scooter, you can even charge the Halo helmet inside the scooter’s storage area. The scooter has a wireless charger that works with the helmet.

Should You Buy the Halo Helmet?
If you’re looking for a helmet that has cool tech features like music and calls, the Halo helmet is a great choice. But if you want a helmet that is all about safety, you might want to look at other helmets with higher safety ratings.
At its new price of Rs. 10,000, the Halo helmet is more affordable than before. However, it’s still not the cheapest option out there. It’s best for people who love tech features and already own an Ather scooter.
