BlueTooth for half helmets?

It is difficult to put bluetooth in a half helmet......no ear pockets for the speakers and limited places to attach a microphone. Sena makes a half helmet with integrated bluetooth, but I can't say if it works well. The speakers are mounted in the helmet with little "deflectors" to direct the sound toward your ears. A Bell Pit Boss will accommodate bluetooth, but then you can't zip off the ear protectors since that is where the speakers reside. You may want to consider a 3/4 helmet.....better bluetooth options and better protection too.

I bought a pair of SENA S20 Evos for a trip to Upstate NY last month and they worked great. They clamp to the half helmet and we didnt have any issues at all. They went thru 2 downpours and never stopped working. Sound is good, not excellent, you can make and receive calls, stream music from your phone, comes with built in FM, and works with Siri on iPhones.

We just bought some Sena’s, they rock on a open face, they have a jack you could use ear buds on I assume. Two different mic’s not sure how they would be out in the wind.

I bought the ear muffs from Cardo and now use them with the HD Senas. I have the mounts glued to the helmet. Don't bother with the double-stick pads that Sena gives you. When they get hot the adhesive gets soft and they come loose.
I mounted on every kind of helmet from my wife's full face to my novelty skid lid. There is always a way if you want to do it.

I don't use the speakers on my Senas. The module has a headphone jack. I use inner ear headphones. As for the mic? I have a brim on my half helmet and the mic tucks up into it nicely. Then, when I need to skip a track or make/receive a call, it's there.
