Helmet headset?
A good buddy of mine noticed that I use my Ipod while riding and said that he is fixing to buy a headset that allows you to use your bluetooth technology, ipod, and any other usb connection device, **edit**plus a radio to talk to other riders**edit**
Has anyone had any personal experience with these things?
I looked at a few online and they are in the price range of 250-350
Just looking for some insight. Thanks

I found some bluetooth earphones for the iPod, the ones that go in the ear canal. They were like $90.
edit.. I've been trying to find them online but no luck

Re: Helmet headset?
well the one device that he was talkin about was a radio that has like a 100 meter radius. . .which is the one thing that raised my eyebrow to talk with other riders. . .

Re: Helmet headset?
I've personally never used one but there are a lot of people I know that had them. Great for communication on group rides or between you and your passenger.
only con I can think of, without actually using one, is that it hangs of the side of your helmet. probably a little added weight on that side and limits your range of motion to the left.

Re: Helmet headset?
Yea.. that kinda hampers talking to people if they don't have one as well. But the new one with bluetooth you can still listen to music if no one else has one.
