Bluetooth motorcycle helmet

[DirtyD24]

So I'm looking into getting this helmet http://www.extremesupply.com/onealhe...astTrackFF.htm

And from what I've found on the forum is that our phone supports A2DP is this correct...I would love to stream Slacker in stereo as I ride...headphones hurt after awhile. Thanks

Never had a helmet, except for dirt, let alone one with bluetooth (I know, no helmet is stupid), but it does say that you can play your MP3s and that is A2DP. Unless for some crazy reason they would think someone wants to listen on mono.

I would say that you could try it and send back if it doesn't do what it says for a refund.

As a fellow rider, I would caution you that the ad makes no mention of Snell approval or rating. It seems too cheap, too. The bluetooth is worth $100, so the helmet is just over $100. I paid $600 for my last helmet (2001) and that was the "middle of the road."

no it is not Snell approved only DOT...I currently wear a HJC helmet that cost 150 and is both snell and DOT approved...a lot of the time your pying for the graphic type and paint type of the helmet....I would never pay more than 300 on a helmet

mine was costly because of paint, your correct but i wanted to make sure it was safe, not saying everybody needs to spend what i did on custom paint. (troy lee design)

Snell is overrated, IMO. Motorcyclist did a great comparison where the DOT-only helmets did at least as well as, and sometimes better than, the Snell helmets in simulated crashes.

[QUOTE=bradart;1531901]Personally, i'd rather cycle in silence and not die, but i don't have a motorcycle[QUOTE] there's not much that's silent about riding a motorcycle. Drive a truck or ricer with LOUD exhaust and the windows down at 70mph on the interstate and that's about what it sounds like. You can space out from the drone after a while and music keeps a lot of people focused. (words distract me personally gotta listen to techno or classical music)

In the beginning it didn't do A2DP. He was asking if we had it on the Hero, he wasn't bashing the iphone.

I was bashing the iphone, also I was joking, which is why I had the hahaha. That is laughing which you don't seem to want to do.

You are off topic until your last sentence. Stay on topic or don't post.

Hero does A2DP, to answer the ?, iPhone sucks hahaha
