I have helmets that cover the top part of my ear... can I use regular earplugs instead of the speakers and still be able to talk to the other rider?

I use my UClear in a ski helmet. The speakers are also the directional microphones in one unit. Earplugs wouldnt work. I suggest you talk to UClear directly.; they're on the web.

Origional earphones have the microphones integrated and are connected to the unit via a USB mini jack, so I'm afraid not. The sound quality is vey good with the origional headphones though.

any helmet that covers the ears. the speakers need to be next to your left and right ears. the headset and control can go anywhere. i would not suggest trying to mount in a a half hemet. hope this helps

I have the AFX full face helmet and it works well. I put the speaker on using the Velcro backing on the top of the chin strap in the ear well and it is great. I've had friends call me and I've answered going about 50 mph and they had no idea I was on the bike. My email is bstickley1140@yahoo Send me yours and I can email pics.

I'm not sure how you're using this, but you can people speaking at normal level. Not whispers. I wear it under a helmet, I hear my riding partner through the helmet and the obnoxious sound of a Harley. It blocks sounds over a certain db range that can cause damage.

That's what I did. Works great, you might need to fuss with the mic location. Recommendation: take a zip tie and secure the muffler to the actual microphone. Otherwise you'll take off your helmet and it will eventually fall off and get lost.

It is hard to say. I have a full helmet with an adjustable front face. I have an area to connect my mic to. You would not have any place to put the speaker on so that you would be able to hear anything. I guess the best answer is I don't believe it will work for you.

I wear ear plugs with the face shield. Ear muffs might be tough. You might be able to do it if they were the type that you could turn the head band down on, say to the back of the head, if they the band wasn't tight.

I actually use mine to go inside of headphones that are hearing protection. the earpieces come with Velcro pads, and they could be moved easily, with the mic, there are two mics, one is a boom type the other is one that you could put velcox on the back. I think that this would be able to be moved from one helmet to the other.

As long as you can attach the base to the helmet the boom mike is able to be used. You can velcro the speakers to any head cover that goes over your ears but a 3/4 helmet would be a better solution.Hope this helps.

I am the passenger (Pillon) on a G4. I can have my helmet on while my husband gassing the bike and go into the gas station. I can still hear him loud and clear. MY response would be yes. We were trying to do scala adjustments on another unit in a riding group and I had on their scala ( while on my husband bike) and making adjustments with their primary unit on another bike. I do not think distance between primary and secondary is a problem, but I don't think a rep is going to tell you that when they can sell you 2 units?

Music should be fine. The earplugs seal in your ear. That combined with the noise cancelling effect should allow you to be oblivious to all outside noise. My 700 set did the trick and they didn't have the noise cancellation feature. I drive an altima which can be pretty loud on the highway. I use one earplug and can easily hear whoever I'm talking to. If you are on public transit you may be better using both earplugs (1 will work but I personally would be distracted by the noise). The only downside to using both earplugs is that it can be difficult to control the volume and tone of your voice. But i love these. Makes hands free calling very easy! Music should be fine.

The mic and speakers are made to mount on a helmet. I don't think you would want to Velcro the speakers and mic to your head. If you could find a mic/ headset like phone operators use it might work. The problem is the plug is different. I tried to find one and could not. But the unit works great. I hate helmets but maybe you might want to use one for the convenience and the safety.

Oh yes. The speakers are to be set inside your helmet over your ears and are plugged into the controller module. They also incorporate the directional microphone. The whole system works Very well for me; I use it skiing.

I don't think there would be a spot to mount the speakers on a 1/2 helmet. I don't have personal experience with them, but I would look at Sena's SPH10 line.http://www.senabluetooth.com/products/index.php

No, i think is not possible to use it without the helmet, because the microphone and the speakers must be held in the helmet and the transmitter must be fitted on one side of the helmet

Yes they can, with the boom microphone. Some helmets, depending on curves, may require the adhesive mount.

You can move the main unit from helmet to helmet. You will have problems moving the speakers but you can buy extra speakers and mic's from the website
