Anyone got one?
I cant hear the in-helmet speaker thing, above 40mph. [1]
Maybe it's 'cos I'm wearing a fuckin' noisey Arai though.
[1] The volume is at max yes

I thought it was just my ears that needed syringing.
I've also found that the anti-glare screen, er, isn't.
Do you find that fiddly fucking bluetooth thingy for the headset a pain
to switch on? Or is it just me that's thick?
On second thoughts, don't answer that.

I fiddled around with various ear plugs before realising that the
position of the pad/speaker in the helmet thing wasn't quite right. It
does seem to be fairly critical. I can now generally hear it at
motorway speeds and at the very least can tell it's said _something_ .

Mmm, I was thinking a earplug thingy, anyway, you got your phone
bluetoothed to it?
It's a bit cool, innit?

Get some solid *ear plugs* with a speaker in. It's the best way, plus
you will not be deaf.

I'm just using standard plugs rather than the speaker type and even
that's fine so I'm sure you'll be able to sort it with some adjustment.
Unless you actually are deaf of course...
Just to add; I've got an Arai too, an Astro-J, and initially put the
speaker pad in the recess in the padding which I assumed would be
adjacent to my lug'ole. Not the case (for me anyway). Hence the
aforementioned fiddling with the position of the thing. It was a bit of
a trial and error affair.
My phone is prehistoric so no opportunity to Bluetooth. When I replace
it I guess I'll sort that - though I'm not really sure if I even want
to be taking calls when riding.

The volume isn't great but I can hear it fine in my Caberg up to 65-70 and
barely above 40 in my Shoei.

Yeah I thought the recess would be near my ear too, I'll fiddle with it
more...

Me neither, but when it does ring it's good to be able to pull in and
take the call without having to take off the gloves/lid/specs/find phone
in pocket etc.
