Both types of connections have advantages or disadvantages, decide for yourself:
Cable | Bluetooth | |
Type of connection | wire-bound | wireless |
Sound quality | unlimited | limited |
Signal/noise ratio 1) | unlimited | limited |
High-frequency radiation | no | yes |
Failure during interfering signals | no | yes |
Handling | no | yes (pairing, activating) |
Service/maintenance | no | yes (charging of battery) |
Repair expense | little | high |
Relative costs | little | high |
1) Ratio between maximum undistorted signal and basic noise, etc., important feature when used at very different driving noises.
If you like your connections rather inexpensive and best quality with cables: No problem, all AKE components are compatible, e.g. you can use the helmet loudspeakers and the noise compensated microphone of the Bluetooth helmet set also via cable with any PowerCom system. Just change the plugs and you are ready to go.
Not only the cable to the helmet can be replaced by a Bluetooth line, but also the connection to other devices, as e.g. to the mobile phone, etc.
