Glasses and bluetooth in helmets

[talkToTheHat]

I quite like my RPHA-ST, although the cheaper plastic-catch visors last longer than the 'premium' metal catch ones. It's an arse with glasses though as the sides get caught in the lining and the same bit of lining covers the speakers for my bluetooth so it's not as good as in say my AGV-K3SV (which is leaky, and sunvisor and pinlock implementations are dissapointing).


I got crafty. Removed parts aren't present on any other helmet I have and are presumably a noise thing rather than for safety so I'm not woried abou removing them, beyond comfort.

Just a zigzag stitch on a cheapo sewing machine to tidy this up.

Nope looks like shit, and speakers inside a lid is retarded. Bluetooth noise isolating earphones are the correct way to do it.

Your sewing ith lovely! Do you cook too?

No, but to be serious, if it works, it'sgood!

It's quite difficult to get a really neat look to cut edges without using an overlocker and the old domestic sewing machine I mostly use for winding induction coils (guitar pickups) isn't that good on thick stretchy materials. But hell yeah I sew, when I was reenacting i made everything from uniforms to tents. It gets tedious real fast, but so does sanding a guitar body or time-aligning audio by hand.

There's a little more wind noise, but speakers in helmet are so much more effective and glasses went on right every time yesterday. Because one of the many things I don't make is my own boots and it was time for a trip to Altberg.

If it works for you and helps others...cool. I'd like to know what isolating earphones/plugs are.

Speakers will always be cheaper and simpler to use.
In-Ear requires more miniaturisation for the same reproduction as a speaker.
So... if you want to hear all the sounds in your Beiber tracks then fit 'proper' quality speakers.

In-Ear makes it a phaph to remove the helmet too as they regularly get pulled by the edges of the helmet or lining/padding.

And Bluetooth needs a receiver too. Which again complicates miniaturisation.

If you want to spend a wedge then In-Ear.

If you want the comfort of in-ear-less then speakers.

I use filtered earplugs and a Schuberth (Too Expensive) Bluetooth system.
Sound reproduction is manageable but no where near as good as wired.

My scala rider q1 is one of those things I don't have to fuss about much, I've been quite satisfied. Music quality is adequate, phone call quality is apparently very good but for tie most part calls on the bark are "hold on whilst I pull over" and then sit on he bke rambling in my helmet with the occaisonal passers by thinking i'm crazy.

Given my ability to lose earplugs given the slightest opportunity I'm loathe to use anything expensive and small.

Sena 10-c installed on my lid (shark Spartan)

With a scarf dealing with the gap under the helmet I can easily have a convo up to about 65mph easily. People have often told me they had no idea I was on a bike and not just in a car using Bluetooth.

Get the speaker in the wrong place though (even by 5mm) and it is useless.
