It's going back for a refund. The way it clips over your ear leaves the top of your ear sticking out, then when you put your helmet on your ear folds over and it ends up on the floor. To get it in you have to try to hold it in place as best you can, but it still moves, then stick your fingers up the inside of the helmet to get it back in your ear. Must have been made in some country where they don't wear helmets. It's not fit for purpose.

I'm so glad you posted that. Was on my way out first thing to try and get one.
Is that becasue it's cheap junk from Lidl? Or another reason. Like it's just cheap junk.
You weren't seriously expecting it to be good were you? :)
Its cheap.

No, I wasn't expecting a quailty product, or quality sound, or to be audible at speed (and I didn't it want it to, I need peace sometime) but I expected it to at least stay in my ear whilst I put my helmet on.
I mean how basic is that? Did some non-biker just dream the design up and think "that'll do", and not ever actually try to put a helmet on over the top of it? Probably.
And it would have been cheaper to manufacture if they just used an old fashioned flat speaker design which velcro's into the inside of the helmet.
The ones Tony K picked up today have the velcro flat earphones. What have you got ??
