Mark, my Sena is Bluetooth! But you still have to get the lectrics from the unit to your ears, which means either using the in-helmet speakers with standard ear plugs (which for me always seem to work loose on longer rides) or using moulded ones. If I'm going to the expense of getting moulded ones made (and the phaff of going to the audiologist to get impressions taken) the cost of getting the speakers fitted is hardly any more expensive, relatively speaking!
Richard, stop stirring it! If it hadn't been for my existing system, we would still be sitting by the side of the road en-route to Cadwell while I tried to divest myself of my gloves, helmet and ear plugs so I could fiddle around in my pocket to find my phone so we could call Rae to tell him we were on our way
Which would then have taken twenty minutes longer as I put my phone away, did up my jacket, re-donned my plugs, helmet and gloves and finally remembered what we were doing before your tyre went down.
As it was, while you were testing the pressure of your tyre, I simply pressed a couple of buttons on the sat nav and viola, a string instrument! Too Simples and all done while we rode through the village.
I find taking my helmet off to make or answer my phone while riding to be a tad difficult! Almost as difficult as getting the phone out of my inside jacket pocket
Incoming calls appear on my sat nav screen and are answered or rejected with one finger touch to the screen and also give an audible tone in the headset. Also, sat nav spoken instructions appear in my ears as if by magic, which means I don't miss exits on roundabouts or turnings down country lanes!!
Of course, being old school, you know nothing of this modern technology
However, I gotta get me one of them vibrating wristbands, hours of mindless fun for one and all
Dave, see my comments about moulded plugs above.
I have actually thought about using DiY moulded plugs, which saves the time, cost and hassle of going to get impressions made. Has anyone used the DiY kits that are available?
Costas, I'd forgotten all about it. It does the same thing as my Sena. I'll offer it up to the members to see if anyone can make use of it.
So, no one with recommendations for good and reliable moulded in-ear monitors then?
