The Bike Dork Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Hi all,I'm about to get my first bike and i'm looking for a decent pair of in ear headphones for riding. I've googled best wireless headphones but I can't find much reference to motorbike frinedly 'phones.My helmet can't take a proper communication system so I'm thinking of some bluetooth earphones. Are there any that are particularly popular or generally considered 'the best'? Budget ideally less than £100.Thanks,Alex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilM Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 I use very cheap in ear things...Can't beat them. I think I paid £4.....lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fullscreenaging Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 I use a £20 pair of in ear phones and bought a Bluetooth receiver off eBay for something like £6 a couple of years ago. Plug the phones into the receiver and pop that into the inside pocket of my jacket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I-AM-THOR Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 It's worth looking into headphones and not just earphones. Some head phones can fit in the helmet and offer better sound and more noise cancelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 And why can't you fit a Bluetooth headset? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewslash Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 I got mpow wireless headphone they are cheap, great but won't fit in my lid [emoji53] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitedevil Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Make sure whichever headphones you choose you can get Comply Noise Reduction foam tips for them as they are loads better than the rubbish that comes with headphones, i think their best tips claim a 29DB reduction. also having inline controls is really handy if you need to pause the music while getting fuel or to answer a call etc...

The Bike Dork Posted June 18, 2015 Author Share Posted June 18, 2015 And why can't you fit a Bluetooth headset?Maybe I need to ask in-store. It's a Caberg Duke (picking it up on Saturday) and the bumpf on the website doesn't say it's bluetooth compatible. Are you saying it's rare for bluetooth sets not to fit in helmets?

Just because it doesn't say on the website doesn't mean you can't fit one! I have yet to see a helmet where you can't fit one to be honest Except of course piss pot helmets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cam Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 I have a Caberg Duke and its compatible with Caberg's Bluetooth system, so I assume it'll work with others, though I haven't tried yet.If you do try one, let us know how it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliemopic Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 I bought a pair of these and fitted them inside my lid. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281360533944?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AITI only kept them in for a couple of days as i found NOT hearing the engines revs quite unnerving.
