Hi all, my first message so go easy on me...

I have an Iphone 3GS and I want to buy a bluetooth earpiece that will be unoticable under my helmet (IE so I can't feel it) and so I can use the satnav on my phone and also use my phone whilst riding (mainly to answer calls) is there a slim oneout there and what is it called? and where would I get one from?

Cheers.

Colin.

I think, there's a small chance that actually googling such things will bring results.

Then, when you decide which pretty little gadgets you like are stocked locally, you can go, size them up and get one that fits as snug as a bug. In your helmet.

If it is inside your helmet, how will you answer and make calls with it?

Bit more bulky but i've been using scala rider sets for years and they simply do the job properly

This day and age, we have 'voice commands' on phones, which given a keyword will do such for you.. Wink

Yes but you usually have to push a button on the phone or bluetooth for it to go into that mode.

It's model dependent, I've had a few where saying "answer" does it, or "call, mum".

I’ve just bought one of these:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-Ericsson-MW-600-Bluetooth-Headphones/dp/B0038M3H4S/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1315832914&sr=8-1

Can be used with any 3.5mm headphones so quite flexible if you have a pair of ultra-expensive cans for use away from the bike. I’ll see if I can Velcro the unit into the chinbar and report back on effectiveness. It comes with earbuds with very short cables so ideal to start with.

The model has been around for a year and a half so someone else on here is bound to have tried it. Once it arrives and I have a chance to play around with it, I’ll post up my experience with quality, battery and voice commands etc... Thumbs Up

AGV do a bluetooth insert for their S4 SV and Stealth SV models. I think you answer by pressing a button under the padding on the left hand side.

Its called AGVoice:

Absolute bargin and it comes with a handlebar remote and built-in radio! I'm sure these were originally in excess of £150.

They will connect to phones, satnavs, etc. via Bluetooth. Everything else by cable.

If you're spending that money, I'd go for the Scala, especially as the majority of their range now present as bluetooth headphones to the phone.

Not mine, however. It's too old Sad

How does an external mic work on a full-face lid when you're doing 70mph+?

Not sure about using a headset in the lid,there's barely enough room for my head in there as it is.

Maybe suggest going for a bluetooth helmet,I think AGV do one and maybe others but I'm decorating and just stopped to make a joint so CBA to google them atm.

I did manage to locate a video that showed someone fitting it to a full-face helmet without too much trouble. Can't seem to bloody find it now though! Embarassed
