    I have been looking for an inexpensive alternative to being wired up while
    on my motorcycle. Currently have a splitter from the gps and MP3 player to
    ear phones, which work fine, but wind is an issue with the dangling wires
    flopping around.

    My thoughts are to find a stereo Bluetooth transmitter that I could plug
    them into, then find a headset/receiver/speakers of some sort that I could
    use in my
    helmet. I have seen some setups designed for this, but $300+ is not in the
    budget. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

    I looked also. I think we're a ways off from a lower priced unit at this
    time. Now, I think wait or pay are the options.
    Jerry may have one.

    Thanks Louie. I am researching this posibility from another response that
    was received. Have to find out how the headset feels/fits under a modular
    helmet.
    Note below....

    Ray, I got tired of wires flapping and now put the audio to a
    discontinued Sony TMR-BT10 Bluetooth transmitter, a little rechargeable
    module that clips to anything and comes with a drop-in charger on AC
    line, no 12V cord.

    My headset is a Motorola S9 which is capable of talking on handsfree to
    my sellphone, a Motorola ROKR Z6m and the little Sony on A2DP (Stereo
    headset) profile, simultaneously. To get them to pair double this way,
    pair the Sony with the S9 first and leave the Sony running while you pair
    the sellphone to the S9. The S9 will pair the sellphone only with the
    handsfree, leaving the stereo hooked to the Sony BT transmitter.

    Now, instead of playing pairing games with several devices, which sucks
    as you can only pair with one at a time, I just plug the Sony into
    whatever Stereo I want to listen to, while using the S9 as a handsfree
    headset on my sellphone. It even works on the computer or stereo at
    home...just plug it in. When you make a sellphone call or answer the
    phone, the S9 cuts off the audio from the Sony until you're done, then
    puts the stereo back into your ears the way it should. Works great.

    On the bike, the S9 is a behind-the-head headphone made of soft, flexible
    plastic, not hard. I love it because it makes NO MECHANICAL NOISE when
    you move. The earpieces are rubber and seal into my ears nicely keeping
    out the wind noise. It's volume is REALLY LOUD!...PAINFULLY LOUD!...so
    you can hear the music until you go deaf, of course. The S9 will run all
    day and into the night before being recharged by plugging it into any
    mini USB power supply or computer port via camera cable, same as the
    Motorola phones now take. Their power cords are interchangeable.

    You can buy the S9 online around $80 and the now-discontinued Sony TMR-
    BT10 for around $50 online....

    Wow Ray. I remember that from my youth and the early days of television. I
    am 89 years old. Ipana is gone now because of Bucky Beaver's afront to the
    fluouride containing toothpastes(from Proctor and Gamble, devil
    worshippers). Don't mess with corporate America.

    Thanks for the reply. I have gone with this transmitter:
    http://tinyurl.com/53g2u4 $47.00 shipped on eBay.

    Now looking at this for a head set:

    I hear it will fit ok under a helmet. Just not be able to use the mic which
    is ok as I will not be making calls while riding. Hopefully I can snag one
    for about $30 shipped.

    I did not realize there would be an issue with tinyurls. Can never be too
    cautious these days with all the junk waiting to gum up the system.
