    In many states, employing any earbuds or employing more than one earbud is illegal.
    Be careful out there!

    You guys... I was referring to the comment that asked how headphones were used with phones that didn't have a 3.5mm headphone jack. The options, if you're using one of those archaic iPhones, (last time I checked, Apple is still making lots of money globally, but I'm just a dumb American, so check my math), is buying the Lightning to 3.5mm dongle for $9, or Bluetooth from the phone, (which is why Apple ditched the headphone jack). I use the latter, to my Sena system. Sorry my picture of earbuds threw so many of you in the ditch. Super sorry that the earbuds were Bose, another of those American companies...

    I plug a bluetooth receiver ($8.00) into the saddlebag USB. I put my Iphone in the left front cubbyhole with Pandora playing on the phone thru bluetooth. Using the AUX setting on the radio I can use the handlebar volume and skip switches on the handlebars.
    Here is the USB Bluetooth Receiver that I use.

    They get their power from the USB plug in the saddlebag.
    I can also charge the phone in the front cubby while still using bluetooth for tunes.

    Has been working for years now.

    Yes, the Apple solution is definitely geared towards wireless. My android phone & Sena 10H (oldie but goodie) communicate just fine to the Sena's helmet speakers.
    I don't use it for music though. Music is still my 320GB iPod in the bag... I wish the Sena speakers were made by Bose - I have a lot of their gear still including some 901s that I still find amazing.
    It's all good.

    I have a set of 301s and a set of 601s I bought in the mid 80s. The 601s could probably use a little cone repair, but great speakers.

    Soooo...I can plug this into my saddlebag USB ... where it gets power ... and sync it to my phone ... and keep my phone in my Ram Mount playing tunes ... and be able to use handlebar volume and track controls ?

    This is not a highly rated item on Amazon. Many reviews mention connectivity issues and delays in changing songs after advancing a track. Has this been your experience?
    Former Ride:
    2013 F6B Standard, black; sold 7/2019
    Latest Addition:
    2016 Gold Wing Level 3, red; SCT transmission stuck in manual mode
    2019 Miles:
    7,900 as of 10/6
