Products and Services... Just bought a new accessory or product for your bike? Or bought new riding kit? Do you love it, think it's great? Or do you think it's poor, a complete waste of money and wish you never bought it? Or paid for a service, been ripped off and the job was not up to spec? Either way, share your experiences and write ups here! Feel free to name and shame if you so wish!

Hi
Has anyone any experience with these new fangled Interphone headsets that are all over the press these days?
I thought I was being pretty cute by replacing my wired phone and seperate mp3 player with an mp3 phone [Sony Ericsson J105i] and a Autocom Bluetooth dongle to conect to my Autocom Active Duo Plus. While it connects no problem the volume on playback is crap - struggling to hear music at a standstill even with both device and Autocom volume controls turned up to max [earplugs in]
When I connect using the wired adapter the volume is fine - just wondered if a different Bluetooth setup may be an improvement?
Cheers
Davey J

Davey- I have no personal experience of buetooth headsets, but last year a friend was going around Europe and he wanted a working sat nav & mobile phone whist riding. I suggested the Garmin 660 and Scala Rider headset. He went with it, loved it and it got him all over the place without a moment's problem.
Only thing to remember----recharge daily!!!
Hope it helps, coz the vast majority of us seem to have a fixed comms hub such as Autocom, Intaride etc (hence the quiet response)

Eliminate the impossible. Whatever remains, however improbable, must be the part you forgot to service.

I've got a Parrott Bluetooth headset that links the phone to my helmet and has a mp3 adapter. It works fine and the volume is reasonable. I play music wirelessly from the phone and you can skip to the next track via a controller on the left grip.
I ride on the motorway and can make calls and listen to music fine. The radio is crap though!!
