Blue tooth ear buds?
Wondering what would be a good option to use with the iPhone 7 for earbuds to listen to music sometimes with a helmet sometimes without? Anybody have any suggestions, recommendations pros/cons?
Thx

Fullface helmet or half shell? I use the Jabra Halo Smart when I go without a helmet or with a half shell, and I have a Sena 10S for my full face.
It's tough finding ear buds that don't put a lot of pressure on your ears when wearing a full face. For me anyway. I guess it depends a the type of helmet and maybe the shape of your head.

I like my Jabra Halo Smart too. Very good battery life, and plenty of volume...for me anyway. I'm sure there are others that work just as well or maybe even better but I can only speak for the Jabra. I like that it wraps around the back of my neck and the controls are right there, easy to find....except if your wearing full fingered gloves. I use fingerless gloves when it's not too cold. The controls are raised buttons and you need to feel them with your bare finger to find them. Once you know where they are it's easy. Might even be able to pull it off with thinner full finger gloves. The only thing I changed on the Jabra was the ear bud tips (a $2 investment). I replaced the original ear bud tips with triple flange tips (see link). Triple flange tips stick in your ear better and also cuts wind noise nicely.
Bluetooth is awesome. Good luck.

I've tried several different Bluetooth ear buds for my Bell 3/4, but gave up and went back to my Shure 215s. All of the Bluetooth sets I've tried are unbearable with a helmet on because they don't sit flush in your ears. I just run the cord under my jacket to my phone.

I got some Samsung Level bluetooths and while I can get them on with a modular, they do stick out and come off with the helmet. Also, there is not much volume. Not recommended.
