Default Bluetooth

I'm not sure if there is where to ask, but I looked in the other categories and I can't find anything&nbsp\\;on this subject.....
&nbsp\\;
Is anyone using a Bluetooth cellphone headset inside of their helmet? I dont mean a helmet designed with the bluetooth already inside. I mean a unit that can be worn inside of a 3/4 or fullface helmet?
&nbsp\\;
Any recommendations?

I use ear buds, which may work for you. I am using the Plantronics 260.
&nbsp\\;
My Garmin GPS has XM Radio and I use a wiRevo D1000 bluetooth transmitter that plugs into the headphone jack.
&nbsp\\;
I don't wear a helmet, just a headband over the ears to cut down on wind noise. They should work well inside a helmet.

I use a Blue Ant Interphone for my Nolan N102 3/4 helmet, works great.

Plantronics 560 I think is what I have.&nbsp\\; Ear bud fit in well when I use my 3/4 shoei.
I leave my cell phone, which has voice activation&nbsp\\;in my vest pocket and most of the time it works but I do have to slow to abot 50-55 for the mic to recognize due to the wind noise and people say I have to yell for them to understand me but it work.
Not a great solution and I don't use it much but it has worked.

Kemosabe-
Why did you choose Blue Ant over Ncom for your Nolan helmet?

Last weekend I got the chatterbox wireless incoms that they just came out with. It also is bluetooth enabled for the cell and MPS. The phone actually works pretty good. I actually went with the 3/4 mouth piece instead of the fullface set up on my Arai Quantum. I was told by the dealer to trim the foam to suit and the noise cancelation will work better. So far it does.
