A Look At Different Motorcycle Headsets
Posted by Miron Yavik on May 28, 2010
For many motorcycle riders, the appeal of motorcycles is in the real sense of freedom, of just you and the highway, but there may come a time when you want to be able to communicate with other riders, a passenger or just enjoy some good road music. This requires you check out bluetooth motorcycle headsets.
The motorcycle headset, which provides you with the communications you’ll need, in crisp, clear sound. There are many headsets that provide static free sound and reception, and some now include Bluetooth as well.
Depending on the type of headset you need and the features you want, you’ll find there are basic headsets of simple tubes all the way up to serious electronic components that enhance the sound. Older designs are usually less expensive and are not dependent on a separate battery or power source, so you won’t have to worry about losing communications before you reach your destination. These systems are very basic and include a microphone that’s placed near your mouth and an earpiece that receives transmissions; the advantages are no batteries that might die and no electronic components that might go on the fritz.
A wired headset is a step up from the tubes and allows both the passenger and the driver to be connected to a central unit through a wiring system. The sound from this type of headset is usually much more clean and can be raised or lowered for each person, though the wires that connect the system to the bike need to be connected and disconnected every time you step on or off the bike. Wired headsets can also be used to talk to other bikers.
The wires for the earpiece and microphone are placed along your arm and then plugged into the appropriate jack on the bike. The unit for sending messages is attached to a belt or waistband, just like a standard cell phone case. Wired headsets will work with either open faced or closed helmets, but for the best sound, you should make sure it comes with noise canceling technology.
When in the market for a motorcycle headset, it is wise to try on different styles and systems and choose one that is the most comfortable to wear. You may be able to get by with a less expensive model if you only plan on using it now and then, like on a ride to the beach during nice weather.
However, if you are a more serious biker, and plan on using your headset often, including during inclement weather, you may decide to choose a waterproof version. There are many different models to choose from and many different options, such as headsets with two earpieces instead of one, or models that offer voice recognition and activation, with automatic shutoff during disuse.
