i also just purchased some bluetooth helmet headsets and yes they are brilliant things to have  Smile

I also wear a pretty basic Box helmet like this one  http://www.ghostbikes.com/products/ghost...elmet.html ... ( not always the box but on the odd occasion i wear the helmet instead  :rolleyes )  it has areas i guess are for your ears betweeen the padding but the head set earpieces fit in there very well and the boom mic goes into the front of the helmet snuggly also .

Working on this bit :OP

I fitted a second hand Caberg Just Speak kit to my lid (Justissimo GT). I was lucky, got it off ebay for peanuts.

First - I'm only using it to link to my mobile. Comments:

- The installation is a bit fiddly. The instructions are a tad unclear at many points.
- The mic makes the flip front harder to close, it pushes against my lower lip. Not a problem, but you have make extra sure the lid closes!
- The earpieces: these are my bugbear. I'm not sure if part of the kit was missing, but the fitting of these is ambiguous. I've found a way to install them soundly, but God knows if that's right.
- Sound quality - I tested it with a biker friend of mine, took the bike up to 70, maybe a little faster? ( Wink ), and had excellent sound quality through the earpieces, and good transmission too according to said friend (who was at home).
- On the same point - it's been less good with the rain recently....
- The buttons are easy to get to, maybe even a tad too far back? Nice and big too.
- Ease of synch - mine linked to my phone first time. No trouble since.
- Warning beeps, etc. Nice, loud, and quite clear. The sound it plays if it loses connection can get a tad irritating.
- Look - very nice. The only visible part on the outside is the mini panel, containing the + and - buttons and a blue LED
- Battery life - no idea as yet. Recharges via a USB port.

Conclusion: A very good kit. Worth the £150 new price? Maybe not, depends on how much you use it / want from it.
