Bluetooth headset for your helmet

[CRM]

Got mine today and have fitted and tested from iPhone - works well. I'm yet to road test. Also want to test with my radar detector plugged in by wire to the unit - apparently can do as well as bluetooth from phone.

A question though... the speaker seem to be in lacking bass in my Shoei flip-front. Plenty of volume it seems just no bass listening to music. I'm thinking that I need to put a foam spacer in to bring the speakers closer to the ears to increase bass as there's quite a gap in my helmet. Anybody experimented with that?

I had the opposite problem. Don't use them any more 'cause they press too hard on the tabs.

I suspect that'd be the case for a lot of punters where the helmet fits correctly.

The helmet fits fine its just that the Shoei Multitech has deep ear-holes. The speakers are about 1 cm away from my ears. I'll try some spacers and report back...

I got some velcro dots and double-sided these to bring the speaker a bit closer to my ears. A bit better sound but still not a lot of bass but that's okay - fine for podcasts/ audio books up to 120 or so and tolerable for music.

I rode to Auckland and back today and used it bluetoothed from my iPhone and it worked really well. I only actually got calls when I was in low speed areas but very clear and the person receiving had no idea I was on my bike - . I imagine at speed you might want to pull over a bit to hear really clearly depending on reception. Haven't tried with pillion yet.

Also found where I've mounted the unit on my helmet the plug hits my collar when i turn to the left (my head that is) so might try using the sticker mount instead and put it a bit higher and maybe further back because the unit itself makes a bit of wind noise.

So a couple of issues but overall pretty good and recommended.
