Bluetooth helmets

According to Autocom they're very interested in Bluetooth. However the battery drain of the transceiver it too large. The battery in the helmet would be dead in no time, or would have to be huge.

Actually...

I contacted Autocom earlier this year, and they said they were not interested in Bluetooth - yet ! They didn't think it was mauture enough.

As for battery drain.. the Momo/Motorola unit is listed to 5 hours talk time, meaning that it's enough for a day's ride (more than enough). YOu can then recharge the unit in the evening.

So IMHO, battery life shouldn't really be a problem....

Schuberth bluetooth helmet

I contacted a friend in Germany today and asked him to check to see if the Schuberth bluetooth helmet was available. He said it was and the cost was around 450 euros. Then he said that it was only for the european market as they had not worked out the issues with bringing it into the US. I asked "what issues?" and he said they did not have all of the "safety warnings" worked out. Like "don't put you head in the microwave while wearing this helmet"

I may order one anway.

ChatterBox bluetooth

I am not a big fan of ChatterBox but they have announced a bluetooth version of their system. The pictures that I saw looked better than any of their current systems. Available some time in the first quarter of 2005.

My wife and I have motorcycles. We would like to be able to communicate with each other and use our cell phones. Is there anything on the market now that does both?

Bluetooth Motorcycle Helmet Roundup

Can some assist me in identifying where I can buy the bluetooth enabled helmet by BMW/Schubert/Scala. Bmw announced it will be available sometime this year, mid year to be exact, but there is no information on any website, in the US Asia or even in Europe. Need to know pricing and where this can be purchased.

Bluetooth is a wireless transmition technology. You can use it to send data. Bluetooth headsets use the data path to send voice to a cellphone or computer. Battery life is not an issue. A headset the size of a quarter called the bluespoon ax uses a small flat battery and will run for the whole day on standby and about 4 hours worth of talking on your cellphone throught the headset. Some of you seemed like you didnt quite know and I thought I would help out.

Please be informed that our bluesonic system has not been launched on the market.

The concept how to bring it on the market and at what price has not yet been fixed.

The system will be supplied to the German market - probably at the end of this year - first, then step by step to further

countries.

I have been following the threads on Bluetooth, Chatterbox and Bluesonic from Schubert, here is an extract of a mail they sent me in response to my request for info.

'Presently we do not have detailed information. If you want, you can send us an e-mail again at the end of September. Then we hope to have more detailed information for you. Please address your e-mail to my colleague Bettina Wachendorf who is working together with our importer in the UK under wachendorf@schuberth.de.'

Looks like we will have to wait a while!!

Best wishes

hello, Can anyone help me. I have a Harley Davidson Ultraglide 1999 with an HD intercom system.I have recently bought some in the ear earplugs which have integral speakers so that my wife and I can talk clearly when touring and also listen to music etc. I have a bluetooth phone and want to be able to use this on the move. Is there a blue tooth device which can be connected to our system via a standard uk jackplug so the the blue tooth device will pick up the bluetooth signal from the phone and then we can make and receive calls. I do not want to invest in ne w helmets etc. There must be a piece of bluetooh kit which I can integrate into our existing system. I currently use a sony bluetooth headset when using the phone in my car so I now want the bluetooth device thats inside the headset which I can then link into our current helmet system. Over to you guys any suggestions? thanks - Steve

i asked J&M if they had any bluetooth plans and the reponse was "not in the foreseeable future".

it seems that Autocom, J&M and the like would do well to integrate this new tech into their systems, rather than having the helmet companies do it alone.

Bluetooth cell phone connectivity is one of the options for the new Harman/Kardon stereo system that Harley-Davidson is putting on the FLH models.

I come from general aviation side. Used to convert Flightcoms into bike intercoms, worked great. I was even able to make a good conversion of a Chatterbox. But wireless has always been a challenge. Infrared worked best with least interference, but the line of sighte is an issue. None of what is offered by the bluetooth manufacturers is useable on a street bike today, including Motorola and Scala, for one simple reason: they all talk of a long battery life - well that's because their audio output is between 50 and 200 milliwatts. to be able to distinguish speech at autobahn speeds a minimum of 500 mW per ear is needed. I run Motorola HS830 and boost its output with a single 1-watt amp which is driven by a 5v rechable I-phono battery (you can guess that I had to cannibalize it for its unacceptable performance). Here's the scoop: anything stuck outside of the helmet in the breeze causes wind noise, a large capacity rechargeable integral battery is needed along with the multichannel op-amp to be able to mix in mp3 & FM into a minimum of .5-watt stereo (illegal in the US) low-voltage amp. and now imagine the interface, and the buttons for everything to work!!! Yup, no wonder Autocoms does not want to mess with the Bluetooth. Oh, and by the way: even IF you could get the bluetoth to work perfectly, there is still that one little issue of sound quality - it is crap co,pared to a wired Autocom or even the Chatterbox. Ride safe :-)

Dainese have had Bluetooth equipped helmets for a least a couple of seasons - checking their website I see 6 models shown. { Link }

Bluetooth Motorcycle Helmet Roundup- Phillips Stereo BT earplug set?

please take a look at and, if possible, do a review of the Phillips Bluetooth Stereo earplug device, marketed only, to my knowledge, through the Sharper Image Catalog. It sells for about $140 and consists of a neck pendant receiver/amplifier/stereo earplug set along with a small 3.5mm jack based transmitter, which can be plugged into any compatible device. I have been using this product with my fullface motorcycle helmet and have found it quite impressive. It pairs easily with my SonyEriccson w600i phone, which I can then place in a clear tank pouch to keep the screen visible, allowing me to see who calls and then either take that call or not. I never use the phone while riding my bike for safety reasons, but this does enable me to know I've been called and who it was, so I can then stop at a safe point and return the call if necessary, which I seldom actually do anyway. It would in an emergency however, provide me with instant communications should I need that, without doing anything but pressing one button on the pendant or voice dialing with voice alone-- great feature all by itself. Of course, you also have the luxury of stopping and talking without dismounting the bike if you expect to be brief, or dismounting and wirelessly able to stretch your legs, have a drink or food, and continuously remain in contact with all your gadgets, phone, music, etc. But for me the better part is how well it transmits sounds and music while also blocking out road noise so well-- just enough ambient sound to keep you safe from encroaching vehicles behind or beside you. And, in order to fully utilize its capabilities, I typically plug its transmitter into a small mixer/amp device called the MixIt, which then allows me to monitor and control inputs simultaneously from as many as four separate additional devices-- e.g. my radar detector, my gps, my mp3, my xm sat radio, etc. I have found in many hours of riding with this device that it has excellent power and clarity, with it's built in amp, excellent ambient noise dampening, excellent battery life(rechargeable with provided charger)-- have ridden all day for several days at a time, before needing to recharge. If bike to pillion or bike to bike com is needed, one could just add whichever device one preferred to support those, via the MixIt, or use the bluetooth itself directly to the passenger, other rider(s), etc.

My only nitpick, from a motorcyclist's perspective is that it would have been nice if Phillips had provided a separate, plug-in earplug set up, so one could try different earplug sets until finding the most comfortable/performing ones for one's taste or budget. As it is, the supplied plugs seem to perform very acceptably though and can be adjusted via provided foam bits, until you find the most comfortable arrangement. Seems quite a good product to me, especially since you can use any helmet you want, and also keep it around your neck when you dismount and then continue to use it for listening to music, phone, etc. As a portable, walk around stereo, bluetooth listening device, it would be worth having, even if you never used it on your scoot, bicycle, car, or anywhere else. I often plug it in to my stereo, computer, etc. and then can wander freely and wirelessly all around my house. I have been able to wander around 80 feet from a sound source and still have a strong connection, which seems quite remarkable and usuable for a wide range of situations. I would encourage you to review this device, especially as I'd like to know how it's fidelity performance with music devices might compare to those more high end, audiophile oriented gadgets and earplugs. For me, having used helmet earphones for several years, the improvement was almost overwhelming-- I hear all the audio inputs far better with the plugs, while improving the noise reduction at the same time. The built in amp also seems to significantly enhance the audio well beyond my own passive earplugs do- so it's a win win all the way around.

Bruce,

Looks like you just did the review.. ;-)

I went the cheap route. Not that I don't love these helmets, but you get what you can afford, and the Scala Rider FM was dirt cheap and gets a GREAT review at www.thescooterscoop.tv

Hello,

Im using this wireless interphone system called `Supertooth Moto`? Amazing !

- Works with any standard cell phone with bluetooth capacity.

- Can be easily attached to any kind of helmet.

- Wireless and hands-free. Answer incoming calls just by speaking into the device without pressing any buttons.

- Communicate with a passenger or fellow rider who also has SuperTooth Moto, via two-way radio with a range of 100 meters. ( interphone )

- DSP (digital signal processing) that cancel echoes and background noise of engines and wind.
