Default Looking for a Bluetooth Helmet

Hey all,

I am looking for a FF Helmet with built in Bluetooth speakers. Not necessarily interested in communication; just looking to listen to music occasionally on my commute to work. I've seen lots of recommendations for add in setups and I've looked into those. Features appear to be more than I need which jumps up the cost. I'd really like to stay around $200 but will go up to $300 for the right helmet. Any suggestions?

Tough with that budget, you may be better off with some blue tooth earbuds.

Still, in my similar case (just wanted music, have added benefit of being able to answer calls as well) I purchased a Nolan, I got the N104 but there is the N86 available for under $200, then I added the basic B1 kit which is bluetooth. I think that would get you under $400 in total but not as low as $300.

Sound quality is pretty good and I've enjoyed the set up

I got a modular and the only Bluetooth helmet I have- FF is too much against my helmet philosophy.
This seems to be a good alternative..

I believe Cycle Gear has a Bilt brand with pre-installed bluetooth.

I ended up buying the Bilt Techno from Cycle Gear. $189 and has been working great so far. Thanks for all the input.

Torc also makes helmets with pre-installed bluetooth. I have never owned one so cannot speak for the quality, but they are very cheap (cost).

Get a decent close out ff model that has the speaker pockets included. Then go to ebay and buy the Bluetooth unit. Gives you good.controls for use with.gloves. make and receive calls. Use GPS
