wireless/bluetooth helmet audio for phone?????

shaggs2riches - 30-12-2011 at 10:13 PM

Anyone here carry their iphone with them while kiting on land???? I have a iphone 4s and a k2 helmet with baseline2 audio, and want to make the two work together. The helmet audio isn't loud, but it is clear, I want to be able to put on the tunes snowkiting, and still be able to answer the phone when it rings. Trouble is I would rather not have wires attached if possible. Anyone hear of such a setup???? Really curious if this can be done, so far all signs are pointing the headphone set that came with my phone.

bluetooth speakers for music + mic for phone + intercom to talk to you pal when kiting ......
I use it in last Kitestorm and battery was good for most of a day
I am using it as intercom when riding snowboard in resorts with my brother

For land helmet I use this :

How much foam is in the helmet...? Maybe it can be shaped/cut/modded to hold a pair of Bluetooth earbuds... :dunno:

Was out of kiting for awhile and into mc riding.... Now that my son is 5, I'm back to kiting... Lol nevertheless you can learn a few things from other sports. The Scalarider Q2 is excellent with high wind conditions. It comes with built in fm stereo too. The ear buds if you will would be the only thing holding me back as they're made for mounting into a mc helmet. The overall contraption is water resistant too. Rode in major down pours with mine amongst snow storms too. It wouldn't fair too well underwater for long periods of time though, hence resistant and not sure what salt would do to it. Overall an awesome headset though. Works good in motocross helmets too.;-)
