Another vote for Stilo...

mike/speaker, hydration and air are pre set-up...

Simply wonderful!

 

Another vote for the Stilo mic and speakers; the only problem I am having is that electronic noise from the modern cars is causing a whine in the speakers.
Has anyone else had this problem? I don't hear it in my 993, for example.
I wonder if I will in my new Cayman?

 

No noise in the SPB or the GT2. Another shout out for Apex top oft he line.

Make sure your radio wires are not running alongside any of the power wires, and that you don't have any loose connections.

 

Thanks, that is good advice.
So far it's only happened in student cars and the wires just run between their helmet and mine (by way of the handheld Chatterbox itself) so that wasn't the cause.
But it's still good advice.

 

Everytime I see someone wearing the wide version I think of this:

 

I am curious about how well the good the sound proofing muffs are on the Stilo.. After years of aural abuse - Rock & Roll and what not, my ears are delicate and easily injured. Doesn't much to give me painful tinitus. I've been wearing molded ear plugs and they really work for me. Without that protection, just 15 minutes in my own car would be ghastly and I am in real pain for many weeks.

But well fitting ear muffs like those on the Stilo is tempting.. Friends swear by it.. But I wonder if their hearing isn't as easily injured.

So this is a question for those who absolutely MUST wear good hearing protection. How effective is the Stilo? An alternative? A good addition to plugs?

 

Fixed it

 

The noise cancelling ear muffs definitely lower the in helmet noise. It doesn't make it completely silent, but I can hear myself think comfortably, and i've found it's easy to listen to the radio without having to crank up the volume. I wouldn't use them as a replacement to ear plugs because they won't filter out as much noise, but it should be an effective combination if you don't need to use a radio.

 

Make sure you don't have a cell phone near the chatterbox either. That can cause interference as well.

 

In more ways than one - we leave the cell in the garage.

 

Hahaha, Dark Helmet - classic!

 

It's not as good as molded ear plugs

I have stilo and am going to switch to molded ear plugs...

My ears ring with stilo too much

 

Thanks much appreciated. Guess I will be sticking with the ear plugs too
