What do you want it to do?

I use a Sena SMH-5, which has basic media and call controls, but can also activate the microphone, so I had good success using "ok Google" and voice commands.

I've been using an ebay special that looks like this for a couple of years.



Cost £10ish IIRC, runs on a button cell for a very long time. (Don't think I've changed it?)

It's not officially waterproof but it's been rained on hard and hasn't died. Would buy again...

I found that a cheap intercom with some Howard Leight earplugs filters out a lot more road noise than some bluetooth earphones.
