With all the new tech for cell phones hitting the market bluetooth head set seem to be the most popular thing out there. I personally don't have one yet but with all the missed calls trying to meet up with friends for a afternoon ride it seems like i stop remove helmet... return call and miss them only to put helmet back on and miss them calling back... One solution that I have debated is installing a blue tooth headset into the helmet for just such occasions. Granted the riding of a bike takes all priority over chatting on a cell but this would make it easier to catch calls and simply pull over for a sec to answer(very easy to do on a bike).... I have talk to a few people that have done this and the love it but I haven't seen them in some time. Now I have an interest in doing this myself but have no info to go by. I guess that leaves me with a couple questions.
1. Would this be feasible at all in the first place aka...legal @least in oh?
2. What head set will answer calls by voice or the talk function on the phone cuz you can't really press a button on the headset under a helmet!!!
3. What headset would allow you to extend the mic towards the front of the helmet.
IMO the headset would have to be mounted to the helmet for comfort reasons and the foam would probable need modified to allow the headset to fit
Obviously I don't think this is a good idea for a while riding situation but a headset would allow you to hear the ringer and pull over to answer or at least call back right away without the fuss of removing your helmet. Could come in handy anyway. Any and all feedback is welcome!
