anyone use this inside a motorcycle helmet? how's the fit? sound quality at cruising speed? wind noise?

Comfortable. Didn't use in a motorcycle helmet but I can' see a reason why this wouldn't be fine. I used mine doing construction work -all I could hear was music. The cord which connects the two buds wrapped over behind the ears and back around to the front of my neck. The fit was adjusted by tieing a poachers knot in the middle. If you are going to talk, you probably should wear a full helmet with sheild. Otherwise, should work great. I used to ride.

I wear a half helmet and they fit inside without touching the earflaps (straps) so I'm pretty sure they'd fit inside any helmet; I wear a sort of headband under my helmet (goes over my ears) to cut down on wind noise so with the headphones in, you can hear everything quite well. As for using them to talk on the phone while riding, they are amazingly clear. You can hear the other person pretty clear while driving around town but while riding at highway speeds of course you have a lot of wind, road, and motor noise so you have to pay attention to what they are saying. The microphone on these headphones is amazing; the other person can hear me just as if I were on a regular phone. I love mine and use them all the time; you cannot beat the performance for the price. I have a phone holder clipped onto my handlebars so I can answer the phone and change music, etc and they never lose connection. Hope this helps

No issues with volume as I have 2 helmets. My only issue is finding visors other than clear

I did not post any movie, but will confirm the crappy sound...any time you are over 30MPH or so, you will hear nothing but wind...that is true when I aimed it backwards too. I have it attached to my helmet, not the bike, and while I used it on one quite bike, the bike type would be irrelevant.

That's what I did. Works great, you might need to fuss with the mic location. Recommendation: take a zip tie and secure the muffler to the actual microphone. Otherwise you'll take off your helmet and it will eventually fall off and get lost.

I haven't had any problems when there is a fair amount of wind noise. My advice is to ensure that you have the right sized buds so it can go deep in your ear canal to block out outside noise. It's an excellent product.

Very similar. I wear while riding motorcycle. Most wind noise is gone, I don't have to turn up music loud to hear well, that way I'm not oblivious to traffic

We're using ours on our modular helmets with great success. Though it has plenty of available volume, a quiet helmet really brings out the best in the Sena.

The unit appears to do very well with any kind of background noise. I've been in bars with a band playing so loud I had cover my ears to hear my caller and they asked me why I was shouting! I have worn it and had conversations while on my bike with 20mph wind and city traffic and no complains about any noise. In fact they don't realize I'm on my bike. I've yet to peddle at 70 mph but if you can keep it in your ear the wind sound shouldn't be a problem. I left mine in a rental car and liked it so much I'm shopping for the exact replacement.

That would be correct, I have also mounted some great speakers in my helmet so I can choose to use in-helmet (another brand) speakers or the ear buds.

Just installed this on an open face helmet and seem to work fine. The volume is not as good but that is to be expected with more wind compared to a full face helmet. Still can hear my music. I really like how easy it was to install on second helmet. Was great it came with two clips to use on a second helmet. Was told no issues when making a call and I could hear the person just fine. Keep in mine this is the first Bluetooth I bought for my helmet so their not another one I can compare it to.

works great. but it cuts out the audio if you're in really windy conditions. i.e can't listen to audio files while riding a motorcycle

There aren't any GPS units that you can hear through a helmet over the motor, traffic and wind noise. In helmet speakers are a must. Sena makes a great Bluetooth headset with high quality (for a motorcycle) speakers . The Sena mates well with the Garmin and will let you hear directions without any problems. The Sena solution will also let you listen to stereo music coming from the music player in the Garmin.

I'm not sure it would be loud enough for a motorcycle. I use it on my bicycle and it's fine but when I go down hill at 20+mph it is difficult to hear.

They work best with less wind noise. I have a Fly Full Face Racing helmet, fully enclosed. My wife has a Bell 3/4 face helmet. Your helmet needs to have slots for the speakers. On voice activation my wife's radio would start transmitting wind noise around 45+ mph. We have since switched to Uclear Bluetooth Communicators.

My husband installed the earpieces inside the helmet, underneath the helmet lining, so no issues. They work great! Great sound. We use them for our motorcycle as well!

I use them for motorcycling and think they work fine. It's nice that they are connected. My helmet is modular and very noisy. These provide protection for the ears without drowning out all the ambient noise too much. It's the wind that the problem with my helmet and these work well and, a good value.

This speaker would not be sufficient for motorcycle use. I use it on a road bicycle when riding by myself and it works OK, but even then the wind noise sometimes is to much for it. Add an engine and it would be next to useless. In general, the speaker does sound very good.
