    A close friend of mine's birthday is coming up and I found him that he is interested in buying a headset so that he could use it when he is on his bike. Well I thought I'll surprise him and buy one for him instead.

    He was looking at this.
    Amazon.com: Nokia BH-505 Bluetooth Stereo Headset (Ice Blue): Cell Phones & Accessories

    Dun really like the idea of buying a headphone from a phone company though. Any of you guys have any suggestions for some headset similar to that?

    It has to have bluetooth. Some that fits in the ear when you have the helmet on. Price around the same or a bit more.

    Thanks!

    I use the motorola S9-HD's

    The S9 were the first and these are just clones based on them.

    If you look at the similar products section of Amazon they have a link to the newer S10's

    http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-S10-HD-Bluetooth-Headphones-Packaging/dp/B004BHCSQC/ref=pd_sim_cps_5

    Not sure what has changed.

    My S9's work well. Not the most comfortable things in the world but I never had proper fitting earbuds for mine. With a good fit I think it would be fine.

    If I buy a product like this again I wont be going for the headphones but instead for earbuds so I know they will fit better and I can use my own high end earbuds instead of being stuck with what ever is part of the headphones.

    I can still get the key critical wireless connection between my phone and my music, I would just need a short cable from the receiver to the earbuds and that is not a big deal.

    Here is the device: http://www.amazon.com/Jabra-BT3030-..._16?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1315200968&sr=1-16
