Ear Phones That Fit Under Helmet

[David Gravlin]

This Pacific to Atlantic and back ride has plenty boring hwy & freeway in between twisties.
Having trouble finding a simple bluetooth or plug into cell phone set that will allow a helmet to slide over without interference.
Any suggestions appreciated.

I've been using raycon if I was for a long time they have the volume comfort

I sure appreciate all your responses!
I learned that I be an old salt ignorant of new tech regarding ear phones.
I never wore any EVER riding motor.
I never had an interest until now, but I wish that I had learned all this many years ago. I might have saved a little more of my hearing.
My frieznd, Dan V & pharmacist, lent me a pair o4f good ear plugs and I was instantly amazed and left wondering WHY I hadn't done this 30 odd years ago?! It enhanced my ride pleasure 15 - 20% and surprised me with a noticable improvement in high-focus stamina for hooning!!!
Dan V is an audiophile and suggested I try his, Westone Audio Pro X60. UNBELIEVABLE MUSIC SOUND QUALITY that fits under my full face helmet d plugs into my cell or can run on bluetooth. Apparently pro musicians use these on stage for monitors.
Tomorrow is my first day of use . . .

Westone makes good stuff. I think you might mean the X50 though.

Very interesting discussion. Like you, 1olbull, I had no idea the BT earphones were a thing. Had I known I might have experimented with a set before my recent purchase of the Sena Impulse modular helmet. For past couple decades I used Sena comms that attached to the side of my 3/4 helmets with speakers mounted in my helmets. Sound was ok but I always hoped for better someday. Recently learning of the Sena full coverage modular helmet with Harmon Kardon speakers was spendy at $600.00 for me but less than half the cost of a Shoei Neotech modular at 900 bucks plus the Sena comm 3 system had to be installed for another 3 or 4 hundred bucks. Anyway, I am very happy with the Impulse with the built-in Sena 3 comm system, speakers are fantastic, connectivity via BT with my phone or mp3 player is great, the mesh, intercom and FM radio, etc., functions are great as well. I have no problem with road noise or bike noise when scooting along at my 70-80 mph habit. When needing to talk to someone at a stop sign who doesn't have comms I just flip open the helmet, mute my music and chit chat with no problem, despite my 76 year old deaf ears. At least they match my fading memory.

Great post, Amigo!
Your "old deaf ears" are only two years younger than mine.
My ears have had need of aids since 35yrs. Guns, motor racing, and my stupidity have brought me to where I have finally realized my need to learn more. I have 4 senas from the 10, 20, 20s, to the 50 mesh. Although the 50 mesh is by far the best for me to be able to hear, me reckons that the exterior helmet noise is the real culprit. For me, now and in the future, in-ear buds that fit under my helmet will be the way. I have just bought some that fit under and will plug into my Sena.
Because of all this, I had stopped using all my Sena equipped helmets.
Now, when I return home from this big ride, I am excited to return to the land of hearing!

By the way, thanks to you, I am still Rocking a Michelin Road 5 front tire mounted backwards on my 2006 Classic. Handling is awesome. Still the best advice I ever received for a bike related handing issue here or anywhere. Thanks Again Bud!

RockOn,
I have just now found this post!
It has become so difficult to find my way around this forum due to the overwhelming amount of interrupting advertisements.
NOT a technofile at near 80 years, tis really hard to wade through all the garbage!
I want to sincerely thank you for the fine compliment!
Just in case, 1olbull@gmail.com
