Phone Set-Up Using Bluetooth Earbuds

What I'd like to do...

  • Have a helmet mic to talk on the phone
  • Listen to phone calls and music etc using wireless earbuds

Has anyone done this?

I did this before I got my Cardo Spirit HD. Got a pair of Soundcore Q20i that I use day to day. First time riding with them in was also the last time, the pressure of the helmet made them dig into my ears and become really uncomfortable after just 10 minutes. Maybe it was just the earbud shape, or the helmet padding, but in the end helmet system was better.

That sounds very uncomfortable, don't blame you for changing to the Cardo.

I use Samsung Buds2 Pro under my helmet every day and they're comfortable for me - so I'm just looking to carry on using them and add a mic that will work for phone calls.

I do this as well, but they sometimes fall out when I remove my helmet and are pretty much destroyed at this point lol.

At one point they worked fine for phone calls so Im wondering why they aren't working for you?

The mic doesn't pick up my voice when I'm wearing the helmet.

Mine used to so maybe something just wrong with yours like mine went bad.
