Anr & Bt ?
Hello everyone
I'm looking for a new lid with some bells and whistles (or bells and whistles for aftermarket attachment to any helmet, take your pick) and since I can't find what I'm looking for on the internet I thought I'd ask you lot. The bells and whistles I'm looking for are Bluetooth capability and active noice reduction (noise cancelling) on both ears. The bluetooth is for connecting to a GPS capable phone and the noise cancelling is to remove the need for ear plugs. I've found lots of helmets with integrated bluetooth and lots and lots of aftermarket speaker systems with bluetooth connectivity. They all seem to adjust the volume automatically to compensate for speed induced noise, but none, and I mean NONE, of them mentions use of active noise cancelling. This is a well known feature in aviation headsets and even some consumer headsets made by companies like Sennheiser or Bose use this technology. I suppose I could always use ear plugs and turn the volume up, but I find that a bit like going backwards into the future. I'm attracted to the Nolan n-com series as I also like the external flip down sun visor and I sent them an email asking about noice cancelling. I will let you ppl know the answer when or if I get one. I also thought about butchering a consumer headset with BT and ANR, but then I would loose the automatic volume adjustment. Of course, it would be nice with bike to bike communication too, but I realise that might be pushing my luck? So, any bright ideas? Anyone heard of a helmet or communication set like this? After all, we're writing 2007 here (or the year of the golden pig as some ppl like to call it) |

I've not seen anything advertised that offers the ANR in a motorcycle helmet, I use an ANR headset at work and find it to be a wonderful invention, I'm much less tired at the end of a long day than with a conventional headset. If you find something then let us know.

Re: Anr & Bt ?
there might be some legal issues with noise cancelling helmets. I have seen at the motor shows earplugs that are shaped to your ear which can have speakers in them for intercom/music. Wish i could remember who the company was- quite fancy some myself

I also got a reply from Nolan after sending them an email asking about their N-com system, explaining that I'm looking for a system that will enable wireless communication to mobile/gps and provide a quiet environment so I don't have to use ear-plugs: here is what they say: Quote:

I might end up getting a Nolan helmet and replasing the speakers with parts from a butchered ANR headset. Exptect there to be a lot of fiddeling, swearing and general mucking about. I also foresee a problem with the internal microphones on the speakers used for the noise cancelling. Will keep you informed. |

The "Touring 2" and "Sonic" helmets have a Bluetooth option http://www.baehr.net/Hauptframeset.htm
