Was browsing though ebay for some headphones and found these, just wondering if they would fit under a helmet comfortably as i have just got a mount to fit the phone to the bike and these would be a handy edition if they fit. i have an RST lid by the way.

Thanks

I'm gonna go with no, as they look very similar to a Motorola set a friend of mine has. They're actually quite bulky and stick out from the back of your neck.

Here's a pic of the Motorola set (sorry about the Beckham pic, it's the best I could find of the fit!)

ar i see! from that picture it doesn't look like he could comfortably put a helmet on. Hmm, it was worth a shot. Just don't want a wire trailing down the bottom of my jacket and out and to the hand bars where the phone is mounted.

Thanks

You can get in-ear bluetooh headsets where the bluetooth & control unit is sepatate from the 'pones themselves. For example a quick search brought up the Sony bt100cx-2. No idea on price as it was just an image search, but they look more suitable for your needs.

Personally, I've ridden 70-odd miles with my regular headphones trailing from the bottom of my jacket to the tankbag so I could use mu phon'es GPS with no bother, but it was a pain getting on and off the bike...

I dont really like the idea as i will have the phone mounted to the bit bracket where the mirrors attach to on a ninja. meaning it would have to reach quite far and i'll probably end up pulling the phone off its mounting!

Thats not a bad looking bit of kit but the large none detachable mic looks a bit big for a full face. Don't really have £150 spare and i like my helmet!
