[QUOTE="Martyn Goodwin, post: 120563, member: 2433"] From OVR # 73 [B]Helmet Bluetooth Headset Review [/B] [ATTACH]34694[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]34695[/ATTACH] Bluetooth technology makes mobile phones more functional, with handy little headsets that are completely wireless and allow for hands-free answering and talking on the mobile phone. Not only that, if your phone includes a GPS navigation function, such as Google Maps, in-helmet Bluetooth headsets allow you to hear the spoken GPS directions as you are riding! There usual type of Bluetooth headset marketed to motorcyclists is designed for multi rider to rider communication with the side bonus of being able to connect to a mobile phone. These systems are sold for $100 and upwards. OVR has been using a very different type of Bluetooth helmet headset, one which ONLY allows connection to your mobile phone. The other big difference is the cost. Purchased from eBay it was less than A$20 including postage. [search EBay for Helmet Bluetooth Headset]. The unit purchased consists of 2 slim speakers (that mount inside the helmet), an attached microphone unit that incorporates the volume controls and a USB connector for recharging the system. Installation is simple with selfadhesive pads for mounting the speakers in your helmet; the microphone is held in place by the padding in your helmet. First use you need to ‘pair’ the headset to your phone. A simple procedure. Once done the headset will subsequently automatically pair to you phone whenever BOTH are turned on. With the working range of the headset of up to 15 metres between the phone and the headset, it’s important to manually turn the headset off every time you remove the helmet to ensure you do not miss any incoming calls. When using the system the spoken guidance from the phones GPS app is very clear and audible even when riding at speeds within the legal limits. Unfortunately it’s not so good with phone calls – while riding I was able to hear callers OK but the people calling me had a hard time understanding what I said due to wind noise. Once I stopped – thus no wind noise – then phone calls were just fine. One big plus compared to many other systems is that there is no control box to be mounted on the outside of your helmet.
