Motorcycle Helmet Headsets..

Motorcycle Helmet Headsets..

Just got my Vega Helmet Bluetooth Kit from Performance Strokes in Goa. Costed me Rs. 2500.

My first impression: It is really worth the money I paid for it. Pairs seamlessly on my Samsung Wave II & till now has never mis-connected or has dis-connected without warning when on the move/use. With full charge it lasted me 1 week of fair usage as my work demands a lot of travelling (usage might vary depending on ones use).

The device isn't waterproof. Has also a feature of group talk with upto 3 devices & line of sight range of 500mts (will try this feature & get back)

I would say this is a very good device to buy. Im personally impressed.

To buy one you can PM me here or on my Facebook account: https://www.facebook.com/akshayhonda

Had one of these before i moved to the scala. Only works well for mobile phone connectivity. Completely useless as a bike to bike intercom system. Rarely connects. N when it did, range was hardly 250m. Also the rubber antenna fell off within a fortnight. 3 of us had bought it together. Same issues. So pretty sure it wasnt a issue related only to a particular unit.

I found the scala far more VFM. Works seamlessly and flawlessly. Would definitely recommend scala if bike to bike intercom is primary purpose.

Scala G9 is even what Iam looking forward to. Will take sometime for me to build cash enough to get one.

The G4 should also suffice actually. And if somebody can get it for you from US, will cost around 9K.

Has anyone here tried using a Walkie Talkie (FRS) with VOX headset or a headset with handlebar mounted PTT switch? I know it cannot be used with the phone and so irrelevant to this thread. But i am looking for a cheaper intercom solution for 3 riders. I am planning to buy Motorola T5720 walkie talkie set (costs Rs.2500 per set) with the headset (Rs.450 each). it is said to have a range of 5miles, but even 1km is enough for me.

Even in city riding, a Bluetooth headset to take calls is a boon. I wonder why Helmet manufacturers don't provide this inbuilt is some model instead of $150-200 extra attachment.

Are Bluetooth devices for helmets worth it?

Hello All,
Firstly, I would like to say that I am a music fan. I want music to accompany me wherever I am.
But while riding on my bike, I always found it very uncomfortable to wear earphones inside the helmet, even though the sound quality was awesome

So I went around finding alternative options to listen to music while riding.
I enquired in several helmet shops, and found that helmets with built-in Bluetooth were available earlier, but were discontinued very soon.
But there are several Bluetooth devices available on the web for helmets. Has anyone bought these Bluetooth devices? Are they worth it, or just another Ch***se use-and-throw stuff?

Please help me out as I am really looking for a good solution... Cheers!!

Don't know about blueteeth, but headphones were uncomfortable for me too once but then I discovered in-ear type headphones and I lived happily ever after.

Re: Are Bluetooth devices for helmets worth it?

I have a Nolan N85 with a built in integrated Bluetooth system. Quite frankly, While the sound quality is good enough for voice communication, it falls flat when comes to anything as complicated as reproduction of music is concerned. I would not recommend it for any music. And this is a bloody expensive Bluetooth system. So for anything cheaper, I leave it to your imagination.

Re: Are Bluetooth devices for helmets worth it?

Personally I don't feel safe with listing music while riding, I think because you cant hear the horn sound or anything on the road around you....Yes, But a helmet with blueteeth device is always very convenient on helmet while riding, Even that is feel dangerous because it distract your mind from road, But I always wanted a water proof blue tooth device inbuilt my helmet, so that when ever any call come I will stop the bike to road side and can listen the call easily without taking out the phone, helmet, gloves...Oh gosh big trouble...So for now I avoid phone calls while riding...

I have seen a online website who was selling the LS2 model with Blue tooth and MP3 device inbuilt in Helmet, But that was hell expensive (Rs. 10000), So I dropped the idea of buying it...I never seen it in any shop....

Re: Are Bluetooth devices for helmets worth it?

Hi all,

Actually I have also been looking for a solution on subject, have been riding with wife, but just can't communicate while riding nor can I listen to hassle free music in my helmet, tried to make one myself but that also did not work out.

Have seen those scala things on advertisement, but they are expensive and I not sure if they are worth that kind of price.

Hi, your requirement seems genuine and solutions are on the shelves. But once you get it, trust me, you might regret.

Few questions for ya-

1. Will you leave your helmet strangled on the bike with a 4,000/- worth accessory attached to it?
2. Or do you intend to take your helmet wherever you go with the accessory attached to it?
3. Would you hear the vehicles honking behind you? What if you get sunk into the music completely?

Either ways, you will end up protecting the helmet rather than the helmet protecting you. Please consider the safety as well!
I am sorry if it sounds negative but I just put down my thoughts.
