Bluetooth Headset For Cycling

NWLondoner

Does anyone heave any tips for a good bluetooth headset for using when cycling?

I would want it for receiving calls :roll: as well as listening to radio (speech NO music) podcasts. I would only be using my left ear so i can keep my right ear free for hearing traffic from behind.

fluff.

ooo using a headset to make calls when cycling, you may want to wear a complete rapha outfit and declare your aversion to helmets for the complete `opening a can of worms' effect

Anyway...

i doubt they'd be of any use anyway on the move, as wind noise would make things a bit tricky anyway.

softlad speaks the truth too…

People look like tw@ts wearing them anywhere other than when there in a car, is it vital that you need to use your phone on the ol' cicycle

The radio on your phone won't work with a bluetooth heasdset but will with a wired headset as the cable acts as an antenna, the media player will though as it doesn't needs an external signal.

not vital but preferable as i do tend to get work calling/texting me on a Saturday morning.

Why not record a voicemeil message explaining that you are dressed in lycra and out in the country with several similar minded adults - that should stop the calls - or even just explain that you'll call back later - I think you'll fund that any headset/phone combo will pick up too much noise and you'll end up stopping anyway so as to hear.

I have a Jabra Bluetooth "Dog Tag", can be used with most portable headphones.
Works very well, the only thing is the buttons aren't good for use with full fingered gloves, I can't feel them very easily. No problem with mitts though.
