Motorola S9 is a behind the neck wireless headset. I got it specifically for biking. You do need to find a good place to keep the player though so there is not to much between it and the headset so the signal gets through. I have it mounted on the handlebars in a pouch, but an armband would probably work better as I do get some skipping. It is the best option, I've looked. In fact I bought the T10 for this headset.

I bought the Motorola HT820 behind-the-neck style phones, which sound great and are reasonably comfortable. For some reason, the music player requests that I enter a pin number ("0000" for this device) every time I connect. Other than that minor complaint, they seem to be a good model.

The phone I bought came with the a headset (the ear plug kind). What I would want is to use regular headset with the standard jack 2.5mm. I could not find any such headphone with the mini usb attachment. However I did find an converter (search EMU to 2.5mm converter on ebay) that I could probably use. I checked Motorola website and they are sold out of these adapters.I wish the mp3 player would work with the BT headset. That would be awesome.

A wireless headset works perfectly. I bought a Plantronics CS540 that comes with the handset lifter at a great price on Amazon and it is absolutely awasome!!A wired headset could also plug in but the sound was muffled.

I can't comment on the range of the SM10 Dual Stream Audio. Mine is mounted on the handle bars and while I'm riding I'm only 3 or four feet away. My wife and I use the SMH10 headsets and we have been around 1000 ft away from each other and have had excellent connection. She has paired with the SM10 and can listen to my music while riding her bike, but I don't think she has been more than 200ft from my bike doing this.

The controls are not easily accesible. But it depends on the helmet you are talking about. If its the helmet for cyclers I guess you will be able to use it. But one problem I had with this headset is that it had poor audio quality and didn't fit my ears well

It worked for me. I also wear glasses and they did not bother me when wearing both together. I wear the head phones mostly when bicycling.

I suggest you get a wireless headphone. You can still use the speaker volume plus volume in the headset. Hope this helps in your query.

Hi,This headset is not wireless, so no you can't. You always need to use a cable. But still! This is a verry nice headset! Good quality sound. Best wishes!

Nice little headset otherwise too, huh? I found them to fit pretty comfortably myself, I liked them for the price and so forth; wouldn't pair for beans though. What a shame. That stinks. Either way: you're welcome.

I use the SMH10 which uses similar ear speakers and mic. My bike is a softail standard with windshield. A lot of wind noise is more the issue then the loud pipes. My best results are obtained with a helmet that has a face shield. With that setup all functions were significantly better then usable. With the face shield up on the helmet then wind noise became the issue at hwy speeds.

The Altoids gum tin is available here in central NJ and I will try it and let you know if it works. I wondered too but I'd only had the headset a couple of days and just now learned how to fold it!

Yes, I use a high quality AT&T cordless headset. I searched far for it because I couldn't hear well enough on most other headsets. Works fine but sort of a pain because it's really 2 phones but 1 dealer. Worth it to me for the quality hearing.

Although it probably depends on the helmet, I can get to controls with the 2 helmets I own. I prefer the controls near my ears as they are with my old motorola headset but for $12 I can live with this :)Regarding complaints about sound quality, I was able to improve this significantly by using better fitting earbud covers than those supplied which we're quite small. Again, what do you expect for $12??
