thinking of getting a new helmet - its purely for use in the car ( yes i'm sure there are many funny quips)....
dont wnat to spend fortunes as only used for m/way driving - irregular and track days. have seen the flip front jobbies and see that some also have built in bluetooth. wondered if anyone here uses these types of helmet? any pro's/cons? and whats the bluetooth connection like - is it really useable or a gimmick? having had various b/t bits of pc stuff indoors that often failed to connect am wondering if its practical?? chrs

I'm interested in this too for my bike as I like to listen to my i-pod, but would like it without the cable hanging down (it goes nuts in the slipstream). Plus some proper noise and wind reduction would be nice too.

Might just be my bluetooth headset or my phone but don't really get on with mine all that well. Sometimes the switch between music and a phonecall doesn't work that well (the call gets connected but I can't hear them and they can't hear me!!) and occasionally I get interference (strangly on music mode only, not phonecalls)....

hello

Nolan make a blue tooth set of electronics compatible with their n-com rage of lids, and there are a few after market companies who make add-on units if you search

Try Nolan N43 Air Classic, it has an N-Com thingy.

I have the helmet, but have not used the N-Com yet.
