My wife and I rarely use helmets when we ride and have to shout when we point things out or try to talk. There is a lot of "What?!?" And "Say that again!" Haha

I was looking for some sort of Bluetooth intercom system that is just a single earbud with a boom mic that we could use, but can't find anything like that unless willing to pay upwards of $300.
They are out there cheap, but they all have tiny speakers meant to be mounted inside helmets.

What I'm envisioning is an earbud or dual earbuds and a boom mic. Preferably an earbud that wraps around your ear to keep it stable. The push to talk button could be on the earbud or anywhere.

Does this exist? Can it be had for under $100??

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks.

 

This is an option...

 

Not likely. Consider a helmet.

​​​​It's quiet and comfortable. I wear a modular all summer long in the humid heat of GA. You can do it too. It won't kill you. Plus comms are easy.

 

I agree, best way is use a helmet. Plus best way to protect also.

 

i just laid the bike down thursday on my head. only reason not to wear one is ignorance. I woulda gotten out of a little whiplash had it killed me. ill take the whiplash. The comms systems are so good for helmets no one believes im on a bike with my sena

 

I think Sena/Harley still make bluetooth systems that are designed to be used without a helmet but not for $100, probably closer to $200 each. They wrap behind the head, have two speakers and a boom mike. The systems are essentially identical to those designed for sports so googling bluetooth headset for skiing, other sports would probably turn up additional resources.

 

The new Sena 1/2 helmet is very interesting looking, but it's a helmet.

If you don't want a helmet you may want to take a look at/for intercom systems set up for racing teams.
Like the off-road teams use.
Not sure if they would work well with wind noise, but worth a look.
I know they make them, I just have not been around off-road competitions for quite a few years.

 

 

I bought a pair of SENA headphones for our trip to Sturgis. My wife drove in a car me on the bike. They worked great! they were good for about 1000 yards and the charged lasted about 10 hours. Well fast forward on we bought a trike , so we don't need them anymore. If your intrested send me a pm. Weather you get a pair from or someone else, they work.

 

Have used Sena headsets for years with both full helmets and half helmets and they worked great. Also had a fried that had one that was over the ear he used helmetless.
