Another Headset Thread
 

I know we have discussed this in about 4 threads or more now but im being really picky and im not sure what i want. There really are so many to choose from.

The F4 from Blueant
Now im sure this is a quality piece of equipment. I have a Bluetooth ear piece made by them and its awesome.

The Parrot SK4000
Never heard of this brand or model before but the wireless remote is kind of nice. Im not sure about the Quality of the product though

The Chatterbox XBi2
Seems like is kind of like the Scala Q2 cause it lacks a lot of features

The Chatterbox X1
I very much like the extended distance but im not sure its really necessary.

J&M
Seems a little behind the pack when it comes to the rest

The Sena SMH10
The Jog wheel is a very nice feature and makes this decision har

Cardo Scala Rider G4
Has just about everything i need.

Cardo Scala Rider Q2
This lacks A2DP which is a must so its out in my book
http://www.cardosystems.com/us/scala...scala-rider-q2
.

They all have their advantages and they all have their unique features. But idk if anyone has talked about the Blueant or the Parrot. I know we have discussed the Chatterbox, J&M, Sena and Cardo's but does anyone know anything about those 2?

Anyways. For me i think it comes down to the Blueant F4, Sena, and Cardo G4. the only reason i wouldn't get the Cardo would be ease of use with gloves on and the same goes for the F4. And The only reason i wouldn't get the Sena would be because of the lack of communication distance and that goes for the F4 as well.

Thats 2 strikes against the F4 so I think im going to eliminate that for my choices and now its down to the Cardo and the Sena and they both are very appealing to me. 2 of my friends have the Cardo Q2 and the G4 is compatible so that makes me want the G4. But because the Cardo is $280 for a single set and the Sena is $219 for a single set it makes the decision even harder.

Im not sure what i should buy But either way ill know ill be satisfied.

Sena, yeah I am biased.

lol Biased is fine. But because my buddies have the Q2 ill probably get the G4. just need to wait for 1 or 2 more paychecks before its doable.

yeah, if you know people with a system already, it's best to go with what you would use with other people. Do the Q2s and the G4s work together though?

"Backward compatible with entire Motorcycle Bluetooth scala rider product line of headsets**"

Yep lol

Also i just found this so i will be able to buy it with my next paycheck.

FWIW that guy is a very stand up seller. I used to live in the 616 area...

BTW if you have friends with the Scala headsets that you want to talk to, I'm not sure why there was any confusion...I went with J&M only because I wanted a very heavy duty headset, coed, unit set-up and they have that. I've gone through far to many headsets in the past 10 years or so.

Awesome then i know i can expect good things when ordering from him.

And the J&M has COED functionality? Which one is you you have again?

I dunno, just from what has been said here the sena is far and above the better system, especially since it has the on bike charger. My biggest problem with wireless headsets is that the ones I have used all go dead at the wrong time, the ability to to charge on the go is a huge plus

Oops "cord" it has a very heavy duty cord set. I have destroyed several Chatterbox, etc cords hooking them up to my radar detector.

I am very impressed with the build quality of the Sena.

Ah okay lol. I was like thats cool didn't read that anywhere lol.

Well I usually don't do real long rides and 10 hrs talk time is more than enough time for me. the most i generally do is 3.5hrs ride one way then stop. Im wanting to go cross country though very soon

Also depending on where the USB plug is for the G4 then i can charge it cause i have a USB plug on my bike now lol. But im betting its also the same plug that connects to the helmet hardware.

You have to take the g4 off the holder for it too charge.

Yea thats what i thought but its not a big deal for me i don't ride real far and 10 hrs is more than enough time for me

remember im on an R6 its not really built for long long trips and its not to comfortable after 200 miles or so

I need to buy a throttle lock so i can just sit there and ride and not have to lean over all the time.

I tested the Sena at triple digits, still very very clear music even with the wind noise.

A lot of that is helmet though... I've been well over 150mph and can still hear my music perfectly from Pandora.

I have a dual sport helmet, it's loud and not aero at all.

I have a KBC and it sucks at blocking wind. I get whistling and swooshing noises and stuff all the time. What sucks most is the high pitched whistling it drives me crazy but the helmet works lol so i ain't getting a new one.

My problem was an 8 hour battery life plus a few long days and my inability to remember to charger the damn thing.

imagine having a bill on your helmet. This is not a quiet helmet at all above 40 mph. It's basically flat on the front of it, so it's just a big wind block.

Your call, I'd think about it for later though... It's like listening to the car stereo with the windows open and then closing them.

Why don't you use a regular lid when you are riding on road? Are you a poser, Nick?:lol:

that lid has a slot that fits with starbucks coffee cups

Because I never know if I am going to end up on dirt. It doesn't bother me at regular speeds. Just when I get on the interstate. I don't try to ride interstate much at all, but decided to do it to test out the Sena tonight.

I'm teasing you! The Shoei is definitely pick of the litter for these types of lids without question.

Yea i know i want the Icon Decay helmet to go with my jacket but i cant afford that right now. Just one thing at a time. And right now its the Scala Cardo G4 then i have to decide on what to do next. Problem is im trying to buy a house right now to lol. Ive got way to many things going on. Oh and my employer is withdrawing Health Insurance from my paychecks even though i never asked for it and they wont stop. So i had to get my Child support office to get their lawyer to fix it for me cause apparently they are taking the health insurance out on my son. Well news Flash he already has health insurance Dumb Fucks i don't need more. Yea so my checks have been cut by 108.63 every 2 weeks for the past 4 months. pissing me off. But when i get that money back i will love it. it will be a little over 800 dollars added to my check lol.

naw youre gonna get like 400 plus loose some of your regular pay for the week that the check comes in, the rest goes to taxes because you will be thrown into a higher tax bracket. But you will get it back when you file in april

HD built in system. Buy it for $22k and they throw in the bike. I shit you not!

I actually tried it tonight with my half helmet headset. It has volume controls for the external bike speakers, music level in headphones if you have that turned on, vol for the intercomm (rider to passenger) and volume control for cb (used for bike to bike). And for truckers if I can get them to respond... couldn't on the way up here for some reason.

Vox control along with PTT for rider and passenger. Oh and the passenger has her own volume controls for all 3 (music,int,cb)as well.

No ill get it all it was already tax deducted it should come to me separate than my direct deposit for my check. And i was told it would be like i was given a bonus so it should just be a written check. but we will see wont we. Personally i think they should sweeten the deal since they were being such ass holes about it and making me have to pinch my budget.

Good luck, as far as I know bonus checks get taxed at 35%, but I could be wron its been a while since I got a bonus check

So i just found this thing It looks pretty cool.

You need to seriously get your priorities straight, upgrade that game cube to a ps3 then worry abput helmet speakers

Haha I have a PS3,360,Gamecube,SNES,NES,Dreamcast,PS2,PS, and N64. But the only system that has a portable screen besides the GC is the PS2 and im not buying another screen lol.

Almost $500 bro without several of the Scala's capabilities...:idk:
