No argument there, Rick. I got older, my fingers got fatter, and the audio wires got smaller!

Keep in mind that BlueAnt is an Australian company. Believe it or not, they may not even KNOW what the law is in California.

Secondly, for it's intended use in motorcycle helmets, the speaker does not actually sit on the motorcyclists ear, so it may well be technically legal even in California.

Lastly, although we think of motorcycles as being "big" in the US, they are primarily recreational use vehicles here. In other parts of the world, (like most of Asia), the motorcycle is a common form of transportation. So I think it is at least likely that a given state in the US is small potatoes compared to their global market.

Course, I could be dead wrong about any/all of that!
