Bluetooth helmet speaker
Anyone got any recommendations for a decent bluetooth helmet speaker that doesn't cost the earth? I just want to be able to hear satnav directions, but every bluetooth system I find is an intercom/microphone kit with sound cancellation, 2 way comms etc. so costs way more than I want to spend.
Have looked at earbuds but I value my hearing and although they'd let me heard the satnav, they don't offer much in the way of proper hearing protection.
There are wired systems out there but I'd much prefer a wireless bluetooth setup. I'd also like on with replaceable batteries. It's fine having a sealed rechargeable unit but if your battery dies halfway through a journey you're screwed so being able to put spare batteries in would be nice too

We use a scala bluetooth intercom and its been great, its getting a bit tired now tho, doesn't seem to last long and knocks off in the middle of conversation etc. Not sure if batteries can be replaced or need to buy new units. I suspect the latter

Cheers for the input, guys. Someone else has recommended the BT Interphone 800M which is cheap as chips at £30 ( http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BT-Interphone ... 3aae13bc89" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; ) so I've ordered one of those to try out. It seems generally the price difference is mainly down to each system's ability to handle communication (via telephone calls and intercom), but the speaker function is pretty much of a muchness, so I can't really see much benefit in going for a more expensive system over this, when what I'll be paying for (mostly) is higher quality in the functions that I don't plan on using anyway.
Paul - I'm fitting it to my Arai RX7 GP so will let you know how well it fits.

Re: Bluetooth helmet speaker
I've got the AGV share, not sure on its compatibility to non-agv helmets though.
