Music makes everything better. Cooking? Throw on some tunes. Wrenching on your bike? A little mood music makes maintenance better. So why shouldn't you enjoy some music while you ride? Motorcycle Cruiser has picked the best bluetooth motorcycle helmets and bluetooth speakers for you.
Have you ever been on a group ride and all of you communicated with complex hand signals? Smoke signals? Why bother when you can communicate with a Bluetooth motorcycle headset?
Bluetooth motorcycle helmets have two jobs. The first is protecting your head and face in the case of a crash. The second is providing you with quality audio, whether it be a podcast, music, phone call, or the voices from other connected Bluetooth motorcycle helmets. Choose from some of our best picks.
Sena has been leading the motorcycle accessory industry by producing some of the most versatile Bluetooth motorcycle headsets. The Sena Momentum Lite is a DOT-rated smart motorcycle helmet and comes equipped with Sena's 10 series unit that allows you to speak on the phone, connect with other rider's Bluetooth headsets, and listen to music or the radio, all without having to string wires through your helmet liner.
This helmet from FreedConn gives you a DOT safety rating and an integrated Bluetooth device to listen to music, talk on your phone, and connect with two other riders, all for a wallet-friendly price. Available in three colors, the FreedConn Modular Bluetooth Motorcycle Helmet is a top pick for beginner motorcyclists.
Torc's T15B Bluetooth Motorcycle Helmet features a race-inspired design and a graphics scheme. It is DOT rated and has a drop-down sun visor so you don't need to swap visors when it gets dark out. The Torc T15B allows you to listen to music, talk to other motorcycle intercoms, and speak on the phone.
Listening to music is one perk to have a Bluetooth motorcycle headset, but communication with other riders in your group is just as important. Rather than purchase a whole new helmet, our picks for Bluetooth motorcycle headsets can turn any motorcycle helmet you buy (or already own) into a Bluetooth helmet.
Sena's 20S Evo Motorcycle Bluetooth Headset was its follow-up to its successful 10S line. Upgrading everything from the previous model, the 20S Evo comes with Bluetooth 4.1, meaning less interference from other devices. The 20S Evo is also connected to Sena's app, allowing you to update the device from your iPhone or Android device.
The Thokwok Motorcycle Bluetooth Headset does everything you need a Bluetooth motorcycle headset to do, at a significantly smaller price point. With the ability to communicate with other motorcycle intercoms, listen to music, talk on the phone, and navigate from a GPS unit, it's our best budget headset.
Cardo is another big name in the motorcycle Bluetooth headset space, providing quality headsets and intercoms. The Cardo Scala Rider Packtalk Bold has the option to change out the speakers for higher-quality JBLs. Cardo's dynamic mesh communication makes this one of the most versatile and hands-free motorcycle Bluetooth headsets currently offered.
These are just some of the options for Bluetooth integrated technology for motorcyclists, some of which we have personally used. Always make sure to listen to music at a reasonable volume and not distract you while you’re on the road.
