Just received a Blinc M1 Bluetooth adapter and....
05/19/11 at 21:06:55

I am returning it. There is a constant annoying buzzing in my ear. Very distracting plus the sound is totally shot on the highway or speeds above 50 mph. Shame though. I had high hopes for it.

Anyone have any other options? They have this unit built into some vcan helmets. The vcan helmets are cool. They come with flip up sun visors built into the helmet. I wear glasses and this is a great idea but I don't know about the safety rating of the helmet itself.

Any thoughts? Thanks everyone.

Having the bluetooth built in is scary. It it breaks, what do you do? If you drop the helmet?

I use a Camos add on unit:

Mine is the BTS200. It's mounted on an HJC Modular helmet.
Excellent sound.

If I ever need another one, I'm looking hard at this:

Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut between the seat and the handlebars. Make sure yours isn't too tight or too loose.

Its like the old answering machine phone combo. If the answering machine or the phone breaks it's useless. Thanks I'll check it out.

Nope. I'm not using the bike as the power source but that's a good question.

The sena SMH-10 is top on the list, i have never seen a really bad review on it and most reviews are very good ones. The Scala G4 is in the sceond spot. Darren

I have a Scala and it works ok. Can answer phone calls and converse briefly. I wouldn't want to have a long phone call with it. Too darn distracting and the sound is ok but not great. I like the FM radio. Nice to listen to on the commute to and from work. You can plug in an MP3 player into it too but haven't tried that yet. Haven't had a chance to try the intercom featue either.

This is why I prefer the boards than the opinions of others like cnet and such. Cnet is good but I rather hear it from "real" people who "actually" have had time with the product. Keep it coming!

Wow, I see that one too EJID, let us know how it works out. Yours too webhead!

I still love my Scala Rider. Finally used it to answer a phone call the other day. He could hear me fine, but I couldn't hear him as well. Seems it would be the other way around, but it wasn't. Of course it was better while I was going slower, but it got the job done for the moment. The radio is great, and you can program up to 5 stations and its not too hard to change stations or scan for a new station. I guess it all depends on what your priorities are, but I'm happy with it.

It's just a regular bluetooth but it is a good one if you need one.
