I’ve seen a few posts about Bluetooth headsets on here in the past but nothing for a while so wondered if there are any exciting developments, I’m looking for something pretty basic that can receive calls, play sat nav instructions from the phone and occasionally play music, no need for it to work as an intercom or anything like that. I did have one of the ebay ones but the battery life reduced to the point where it’s useless for anything more than popping to the shops.
Main things I’m looking for:
Loud enough to hear instructions at 60-70mph
As much battery life as possible
Cheapish (I guess around £100)
This one looks OK, and has the advantage of being available from GetGeared, which is 2 minutes from my house.
I took it off my old crash helmet & as I had the interphone on my new crash helmet ,your more than welcome to have it as its just sitting in the drawer doing nothing
mate get yourself a scala QZ it ticks all your boxes and £75
I have one and I’m properly pleased with it. now I’m not going to say what speed I was doing on the french motorway but I had no problem hearing the instructions/music.
Don’t get the buhel, brought a set at the show in Birmingham, seemed like a good idea!
Well great if you want to walk around the house with your crash helmets on and have a chat. Get on the bike go 20mph and you can not hear a word…what the sales guy failed to tell me was after 50pmh you hear nothing… But 20mph! They seem like a really good idea no wires or anything. But not.
I’ll give the scala speakers arn’t great but that being said I think they are ok for what I need. So the occasional long ride with some tunes. and GPS when I need it.
the auto volume control I have to say works really well. Faster you go the louder the speakers go due to external noise then slow down it gets quieter. and it reacts to those changes quickly too.

That’s jolly decent of you Wise, thanks. I’ll certainly take you up on that if we can arrange a convenient meet up.
I think we live on opposite sides of town so probably somewhere in town would work would be easiest - I’m in/around Canary Wharf but I’ll travel to you if you’re somewhere near-ish during the week?
I’ll post up my route and rough times then you can arrange a good spot for yourself to meet
I’m not to fussed if it makes me late for work except Monday’s and Thursday’s
I’ll sort the bits out over the weekend and see if I still have the box
