Bluetooth speaker.

[Tank]

Has anyone tried mounting or temporarily mounting (for road trips) a bluetooth speaker to their R3T

I was debating it. I think the new monster superstar micro bluetooth speaker would work. I'm just wondering if you could actually hear it...


Such a debate. Any thoughts?

I use an in helmet Scala system. You can buy helmet speakers and just plug them into a phone / iPod if you wanted for cheap.

Don't think any speaker system intended for close playback would really crank out enough volume

I go with in-ear monitors. Shure SE 215 headphones (or better, there are pricier models) fit inside the ear, you loop the wire over the ear and then pull the helmet on. Then you have earplugs to keep out the noise and the option to pipe in music at a moderate volume that won't annihilate your hearing over time.

You do have to keep your head on a swivel and make sure you keep your eyes open.

Riding a motorcycle without earplugs or something that does a similar job is a guaranteed trip to hearing aid land. Highway-type noise levels in a normal helmet will start accumulating damage in something like 15 minutes, and every minute after that you're on your way to the "joy" of hearing aids... http://www.hearingtestlabs.com/motorcycle.htm

In theory I might see my Jawbone Big Jambox putting out enough noise that you could hear it at speed but it certainly wouldn't be enjoyable.

I have the Uclear HBC200 Bluetooth unit. Great speakers.

A friend of mine placed the shark system on his bike...he had the 1000 but they now have a 1400...you can really hear it...
