Audio Headsets (Wireless)

[Ozgur]

Hello Everyone,

Would you please recommend bluetooth headsets brands/models that would make my rides more joyful. I dont really want to deal with cables.

Also where is the best place to purchase them?

Thanks for your valuable responses in advance.

Cheers,

Ozgur

You could try something like the Jabra Sport Pulse which also has an integrated Heart Rate Monitor, or Plantronics Backbeat Fit.

Most Apple iStores have the Plantronics ones in stock, and Banana IT or Jaymart stock Jabra kit.

Personally I don't use outside, only on the trainer, as I don't want to miss a sound that might make the difference between life and death.......

Thank you for your reply.

I will actually use on greenlane only where only bikers allowed in. In traffic I agree with you also.

How about Pantip mall? Can I find these items there at better prices or prices of these items are basicslly fixed everywhere?

You can probably find them in Pantip, no idea whether it's cheaper there or not though.

Thank you for your response.

Yesterday I bought Plantronics BackBeat Fit from a store, next to Jaymart, in Central World. I tried several models of Jabra however neither of them fit as good as Plantronics. Also I really like the sound quality of it comparing to Jabra models. It was little over the budget in my mind but afterwards I felt happy with it.

Thanks again for the tips.

Cheers

I just found some new wireless headphones, and I've changed my mind about not riding on the road with them, why?

They are called Aftershokz Bluez 2, and use bone conduction to transmit sound, so your ears remain open and able to hear normally, so no risk of missing any unusual sound whilst out on the road.

I picked them up for Km8 Bike on RamInthra Road for 3990 THB, highly recommend these if you want to remain aware of your surroundings and listen to some tunes while out and about on the road.
