wireless headset recommendation? Hi, Can anyone recommend a wireless headset that is not cumbersome and does not need an adapter for use under a bicycle helmet?

Motorola S9 is a behind the neck wireless headset. I got it specifically for biking. You do need to find a good place to keep the player though so there is not to much between it and the headset so the signal gets through. I have it mounted on the handlebars in a pouch, but an armband would probably work better as I do get some skipping. It is the best option, I've looked. In fact I bought the T10 for this headset.

I disagree with the other guy. You can use this wireless headset with ANY phone, wireless or wired. What is it that you are trying to do?

I use these for riding dirt bikes in the woods, and we attach them to our backpacks with no headsets. They are good for making sure everybody in your party doesn't get lost taking a wrong turn when stopped. That's it. You can not really use these to speak between street bike riders with headsets attached. For that purpose I use helmet units that have the speakers in the helmet. Look at Scala or Sena if that is what your after. Yes, they are more expensive, but you will only be frustrated trying to make these work for that purpose.

I know that you can plug a wired headset on to it but I haven't seen any jack for a wireless headset so my answer would be, probably not. But you can contact the website of the company that makes the phones and they might have that information on it.

I have an open face helmet with the pull down face shield if I need it. I've only had 2 calls while riding, both at about 45 mph, and had to pull down the shield, but was told by the person on the other end they could hear me decently. I didn't consider trying talking with the shield up. Phone calls while I'm riding are incredibly rare, I use it more for the music too...

I haven't tried it, but it looks like a mini-plug type extension (like what is used on a stereo headset) would work. The plug type is the same. The extensions are cheap. Would be worth the experiment. Now you've got me curious...

Yes, I use a high quality AT&T; cordless headset. I searched far for it because I couldn't hear well enough on most other headsets. Works fine but sort of a pain because it's really 2 phones but 1 dealer. Worth it to me for the quality hearing.

Any wireless headset works as long as you don't mind hooking the rasio to the base. Most are 110v but I've seen some batt operated

This unit gives your helmet wireless (bluetooth) capabilities. It doesn't really give you a way to plug into your existing (nonbluetooth system). To get that capability you would have to add the SM10-01 ( http://www.amazon.com/Sena-SM10-01-Stream-Bluetooth-Transmitter/dp/B0087NB53S/ref=sr_1_11?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1374495750&sr=1-11&keywords=sena ) which would allow you to turn your bikes current system into a bluetooth connectable source. You would need both the headset and transmitter to be completely wireless. It is a bit expensive, but if you do a lot of riding could be worth it. You could also look at the SMH5 headset to cut the cost. They are a bit smaller, but have shorter battery life.

A wireless headset works perfectly. I bought a Plantronics CS540 that comes with the handset lifter at a great price on Amazon and it is absolutely awasome!!A wired headset could also plug in but the sound was muffled.

probably not... as I understand it, the helmet is to be quite form fitting to be effective & purposeful. That is how mine is I mean. The head phones do sit of my skull about a 1/2" - 1" but stay in place because of how the ear pieces are designed. I guess someone with a larger head might feel these are tight??? I just think they'd be uncomfortable under a helmet. Also, I would not want to loose that much hearing from using the headphones while riding. These are pretty powerful. Strong & sound great. But I would use some judgement on making sure I can still hear in most circumstances. I guess I'd say one would have to try them on....

You need an adapter...They're only about $10. I bought this one on Amazon: Jabra 1005143 Netcom Qd To 2.5MM Stereo Plug. The headset works well and I have no complaints. Hope this helps. :)

When I bought the headset it came with a receiver. However, I found that the receiver was interchangeable with my Husband's and mine, so if you have another receiver, give it a try. It's just a USB wireless receiver.

Nice little headset otherwise too, huh? I found them to fit pretty comfortably myself, I liked them for the price and so forth; wouldn't pair for beans though. What a shame. That stinks. Either way: you're welcome.
