5" Chinese SatNav + Audio Technica ANC3 Noise Cancelling Headphones
Audio Technica ANC3 Noise Cancelling Earphones - Eureka, fantastic, buy them for around £70
I bought these earphones after reading reviews on Amazon although no one else had tried them in a motorcycle helmet,
they are brilliant. The speakers look a little bulky but they are shaped to fit into the outer ear and fire slightly forwards so
the end result is a larger speaker that fits flush to the ear. There is a tiny microphone in each earpiece, it measures
external noise and the electronics send the opposite signal to the speakers to neutralise the sound. I am now able to
listen to my music with much more clarity at 80% of the previous volume level because they remove so much background
noise.
The earphones fit easily inside my motorcycle helmet and the results are stunning, just incredible noise reduction. The
sound is not perfect because the noise cancelling tends to reduce the mid and bass sounds, so the music feels as
though the treble is turned up. Compared to normal earbuds these are giant real leap forward. For 5 years I have used
specialist Microbuds from Sensorcom which are nowhere near as good. I have also fitted Comfy T-400 soft foam tips.
These cut out more noise than the standard rubber grommets and the foam clings to the inside of my ear better so the
ANC3’s never feel like falling out. Overall an excellent product, one of my better buys, don't dither, buy them. Even without
music when switched on they remove background noise. TIPS: One AAA battery is said to last 30 hours. I use a 2m
coiled extension lead, the one supplied is too short for Tiger's, these are easy to find on eBay. The ANC3's are nicely
packaged in a travel case. Keep the electronics away from your mobile to avoid interference






Since Oct 2011 I have switched to a 5" Chinese GPS bought from GoMallGo on eBay. I fabricated a new GPS bracket
from perspex which is bolted to the screen and the cockpit fairing. This places the GPS above the instruments and
nearer to my line of site, it also shields it from the elements. The GPS is held on with 2 thin strips of velcro. This GPS
uses the same TeleAtlas maps as TomTom which is better for Adventure Biking because the mapping includes off road
tracks. My GPS plays both MP3's and speed camera alerts. I ordered one with an 8GB SDHC card so I can have 4GB or
more of music files and they sent me one with a 16GB SD card, Nice!
GPS is my favourite modern bike accessory and I would not like to ride far without it. I rely on my GPS for speed camera
alerts. As top Gear state these speed cameras are cash machines for the government nothing to do with road safety.
