bluetooth headset suggestions needed please.
« on: 05 May 2014, 04:31:40 pm »
Right me requirements are a bit specific  :D

I have a Garmin Zumo 220 satnav. I want to be able to hear directions via bluetooth and have some form of music. Unfortunately the Zumo 220 does not support this feature. What I require then (if it exists) Is directions from satnav and means to connect MP3 player, phone or have a built-in FM radio.
ALSO I do not want to use them shocking speaker pad things that come with most headsets. I would rather use my in-ear headphones thus cutting out any wind noise etc.

I got a scala rider bluetooth thing with the zumo and its crap. cannot hear it at speed and the pads dig into your ears.

Only means I have at present is an old Nokia bluetooth headset that I have linked up to the satnav and can hear directions via my in-ear headphones. Just missing the music element.

If you just want to use 1 device the below item is awesome.. Music or satnav directions.


Yeah I know I want the moon on a stick  :lol
Lord,
Grant me the WD-40 to move those things that are stuck, the Duck tape to fasten those things that are loose, And the wisdom to know the difference.
Amen

Been using one of these every day for the last 12 months, and it's been great for connecting to my phone. Really good sound quality too considering it's price!!

 What about this, i believe there is an option for earbuds too, so plug your own earphones in and away you go!

I think I may have found the perfect device.. does more than I want it to as well..

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-Bluetooth-Wireless-Multi-Point-Connectivity/dp/B00CZC8Q34/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1399309653&sr=8-2&keywords=sbh50

Built in FM radio and can connect to 2 bluetooth devices at the same time.. Also has a application on the google play store to be able to modify settings. Think I may be sold on that lol..

 This also works well, i use this for the sat nav, you can use it for music too but i dont like music while riding..

Just moved from Scala rider to Autocom and today is the first day tested. So impressed and is worth the money. Music goes quiet when sat nav kicks in then music comes back up slowly to volume set.
