Bluetooth headset for 1?
Hi apologies if this is in the wrong place but wondered if anyone had any knowledge on bluetooth headsets? I'd like one for my helmet preferably with fm radio to hear traffic reports and quiet background music. Mainly I would like it to hear Google maps in my ear as I'm riding? I generally ride solo so wouldn't require anything really fancy. I have been looking at a sena smh5fm solo? Thanks in advance.

Sena SMH5 or an SMH10. I use a pair to talk between me and 'er. Brilliant, can even hear through the soft earplugs I use.

That's excellent. The 5 has fm and is only 100 quid so I'll get that if no one else has any other options?

Re: Bluetooth headset for 1?
Got a Scale G9 in mine, it's good but built more for 2+ bikes. (you can have up to 8/9 people connected at a time).
That said, 90% of the time I use it solo for radio, Spotify, the odd call if I'm meant to be at work kinda thing. It's a little bit fiddly at times, but once you get used to the quirks, and learn to give up trying to imitate whatever accent it wants for VOX commands, it's pretty good. |

Re: Bluetooth headset for 1?
Anyone got experience of Scala Rider, Interfone or Autocom Bluetooth intercoms? Our wired Autocom died on the GM rideout....

Re: Bluetooth headset for 1?
Alternatively these are really cheap and work quite well, I use mine daily, it has intercom to other headsets, bluetooth for phone/sat nav and FM radio.
Battery life is quite good, me and my friend spoke constantly for 6 hours during the sunset to sunrise ride in July. http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B...ilpage_o01_s00 |

Re: Bluetooth headset for 1?
I sold Autocom, Interphone, Sena, Scala and a few others for the last few years. Interphone have really gone downhill and their warranties are needing to be used so often (but they do oblige just annoying) Scala have recently upped their game and are producing some very nice units (Q1 and Q3) I have the Sena 20S as I can use it in conjunction with the SR10 and an amateur radio to give me miles of comms with my dad. handy if you accidentally take an exit on a motorway without dad realising...
