Bluetooth Simple Cheap

[jmdaniel]

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

Cheers,

Definitely illegal to have ear buds in both ears...at least in Ohio it is

Ditto for Florida - although one IS legal.

Sorry I forgot I was talking to America where they still use Apple
I suppose some people still use Iphone???????

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.

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?

I saw those reviews too...
I'll preface this with I do not own one of these devices.
Many times, BT issues are lots of user error.
Your statement "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" is correct. I do not know if the track changer on the left handgrip works with ALL BT devices - but at $8 it's worth a shot if keeping the phone in the RAM mount is your objective.
Best of luck,
Steve

The only issue I ever have is occasionally have to unhook from usb to reboot the thing. Also have to hit AUX button on radio 2x to get the bluetooth playing.
I did buy 2 of the units in case one goes south on me.
If you have ever connected a bluetooth device before, this is just as simple.
I always make sure Pandora is playing before I put my phone in the cubby.

That sounds a good system
I have my Bluetooth receiver hoked up to the 3.5 in my pocket and its also hooked up through the USB to charge through the charger that's in the pocket wall
My phone is on cradle on my dash which is also plugged into a USB charger
All my Phones music can be controlled through my handlebar volume and channel/song levers

VERY guilty!
But to answer your question, the point was that states have different rules about earbuds vs. headsets and that riding from state to state "might" result in an issue.
Although I was a member of a global law enforcement contingent, I am no longer acting in that capacity and I merely spread information as I deem required.
