Blueant Interphone helmet mounted bluetooth headset.

First the bottom line:
Avoid this product and save your money!

I mounted this headset in my Shoei RF1000 which I do not believe is known as an abnormally noisy helmet.
Speaker volume is insufficient to overcome wind noise. You can hear well enough to know you have a call but not well enough to understand anything.
On the upside the caller can understand you saying "Hello, what?, Huh?, Nevermind, click!" accompanied by a fair amount of wind noise.

Besides that:
The low profile speaker still puts pressure on your ear.
The foam covered microphone is large enough to fill the space between the front of the helmet and your mouth.

The whole thing mounts with Velcro and double stick tape so it doesn't leave marks when you give up and remove it.

I really didn't want to take calls on the bike anyway.
