So does anybody have a Bluetooth helmet? I want to be able to sync it to my phone so i can have some tunes. Not really looking to talk on the phone. Just want the tunes. |

There is a device called Tunebug that attaches to the outside of a helmet. The Tunebug "Shake" model can play music from an mp3 player, iPod or mobile phone either with a headphone cable or bluetooth. Works pretty good with my bicycle helmet. It also works on motorcycle helmets but there is usually too much outside noise if over, say, 40 mph competing with the music to be enjoyable. But it works great around town. |

I wanted a set of earplugs or buds w/Bluetooth, but any ear buds I tried didn't accommodate a helmet due to bulk, etc. So I sprung for a pair of molded-in-ear, wired stereo ear plugs by Westone (NOT cheap). http://westonemusicproducts.com/music/index.php/pr oducts/custom-fit/es2.html Then I bought a Plantronics Pulsar Bluetooth pendant to receive the Bluetooth signal. The unit is discontinued, but there are others out there: http://www.plantronics.com/us/product/pulsar260 I don't use the Plantronics buds, but the Westones, wired to the pendant. The gear is all under helmet and jacket so it's not exposed, and I'm not tethered to the bike in any way. The Westone units kill the wind noise (25dB reduction) and fit perfectly under a helmet, and the Bluetooth allows me to hear my GPS instructions wirelessly. (I don't do tunes on the road.) Works great for riding, but I also use the setup when I'm mowing the lawn for noise reduction...and tunes. |

Scala Rider G9 is what I currently use, it is a intercom system that allows you to connect to devices like your GPS, phone, and MP3 player via bluetooth or wire, it will let you play music and communicate with others. |
