I’m after something that can be worn under a helmet so must be quite well fitted and slim . Any reccomendations.

I’ve been using a pair of wired plug phones Recently but thought I’d check in to see if anyone had any suggestions. I’m fed up of catching the cable and pulling one headphone out so reckon wireless may be the way to go. Used almost entirely for my sat nav but if it could take calls that would be a bonus.

Budget £30 or so as these things never last me more than 6 months before they get broken or lost. Clearly this rules out bluetttoth helmet attachments.

I had the same problem when using my phone as a satnav - assuming that's what you're doing...

I just wrap the headphone cable around the phone three times before putting it in my pocket. No more slack cable Thumbs Up

I got a couple of these (a couple, because they also work as intercoms)

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/500M-Motorcycle-Helmet-Bluetooth-Interphone-Intercom-FM-Radio-Headset-waterproof/142548300271?epid=17007774490&hash=item21308a71ef:g:ulwAAOSwokJabubj

They are nowhere near as bad as you might imagine.

They are a bit quiet, can't hear them at (ahem!) motorway speeds but OK everywhere else.

You can get an alternative mic/speaker set for them without the boom, makes it a bit neater to install in a full-face.

Alternatively ... wired speakers that you can install in your helmet:
