Review on πŸ”Š Gelaten BT-S3 Motorcycle Helmet Bluetooth Headset, Universal Helmet Intercom for Snowmobile, Mountain, Road - BT-S3 Interphone Communication Systems for up to 3 Riders (1 Pack) by Robert Howell

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The microphone is not detachable, you need to turn off the speakers to charge the device.

I just received the BT-S3 and installed it today. The reason I bought this Bluetooth device is because the Bluetooth built into my helmet didn't allow me to repeat or skip songs when using Pandora or any other music streaming service. This BT-S3 allows me to control both volume and track selection through the headset. Basically, you hold down the volume button to change the volume. Pressing the volume button will repeat or switch to the next audio track. I've tested it with Pandora, but I'm sure other music players should behave the same way. My only negative feedback (and not a major issue) is that the speakers have to be unplugged from the headset to charge the device. Unplugging/replugging the cable over the next few years will eventually wear out the charging port. I only use the headset for music, so another design flaw is that the microphone is hardwired to the speakers. This means you have to physically tear/destroy the mic when you don't need it, rather than just unplugging it. I think it only matters if the headset breaks and I have to return it. I'll post a review of/u when things change, but for now I'm happy with the BT-S3.

Pros

Cons
