Ok, I finally got to test my new bluetooth headset for the bike. I purchased the parrot SK4000 for $35 on the 1saleaday website. All I can say is awesome! I have a iphone 4 and my navigon gps app works great with it. Phone calls are crystal clear and the person on the other end said they can hear me fine. The fastest I was going was 60 mph with no problems.
The features of this thing is unbelievable. It has a fm radio built in to it. YOu can choose mono or stereo sound or which side you want to hear from or just both. It syncs with your phonebook and has voice recognition which works good but you have to speak clearly. You can hook up your ipod or other music player via a cable provided.
Now the Blinc had similar features but what made me turn to this one was it came with wireless handlebar controls. I rather have to click on my handlebars than reach up and grab my helmet. You can select whatever you have connected to it. There is a specialized button for it.
The only thing that I don't like is how the handlebar controls get in the way of the horn and turn signals. If you have big hands, like me, you are losing valuable real estate on the grip especially with the clutch. It's not annoying but I don't like taking risks like that especially with the clutch handle. So I place it to the right of the controls. Off the grip for now. I'm sure they make bigger grips out there. If anyone knows please chime in.
I am very happy with it. The blinc was a pain. Constant buzzing during calls and even at idle. I had nothing but problems.
The helmet install took 10 minutes with the parrot. I have a full face helmet. They give you plenty of wire for the speakers in the helmet.
Hope this helps everyone out.
