How To Determine the Helmet/Headset Combo That's Right for You

Austin who comments on the Corded v. BT blog post (referenced in this post) is right on! This post and the Corded v. BT miss everything involved in making a decision about audio connections for motorcycling. The worst of it is that Step 3: What do you need from your headset should be Step 1. Another factor that isn't even mentioned is whether you're setting up only for your Wing or if you'll want features you can use on another bike.

Like Austin I chose to go the Sena route. In doing so I found a workable option that adds Bluetooth to my 2007 Wing. It's not a great solution. But maybe if you'd have talked about the BT conversion idea we could get more consumers interested in doing something like that which might get product designers more interested in BT conversion for the Wing.

As to my point about multiple bikes, that factored very high in my choice of solutions (my Step 1). The Sena connects to BT on my smartphone so I can listen to music (my #1 reason to have a headset) no matter which bike I'm riding.

And FWIW, you were selling one of J&M's BT conversion options a couple of years ago. I ordered that, but it was never delivered. (I wasn't charged for it.) J&M just decided to discontinue it... couldn't get it to work right or something.

It'd be nice if these posts quit focusing so much on hocking a particular product line and offered a really good summary of what the forums are saying about making these kinds of choices. Otherwise, these posts are a bit misleading.
