HAHAAHA sorry bro should of went with Scala Rider instead no sticky pads there, and nice clean look too. hope you find something that works!! without the impulse!!
Yes I wear plugs and I can hear the unit loud and clear. I hid the battery in the neck roll directly at the back of the helmet, it tucked away nicely and to be honest I've never given it a second thought.
I was too harsh on this unit when I bought it, it is small, light and works well. Hope you enjoy it too.
