After having an angry wife because of not being able to answer her calls or texts while riding, also growing tired of being smacked in the helmet to slow down or stop when my wife was on back, I decided to get an intercom set to communicate with her and others while riding. Also to have some background music while on the road.
After I did some very extensive research before buying, I have to say I am extremely impressed so far. I received the item in two days. Very fast shipping. The sound quality is phenomenal, very easy to install, and every feature works flawlessly. I have not tested in a group yet but will update when I do. The pairing together worked excellent and the functionality is very easy. Even the voice command worked perfectly. The sound quality is comparable to my high quality headset. The base is great and very loud. (Note-do not place speakers under the material in the helmet. It will smother the sound. The velcro allows you to attach over the material so it sits securely and has direct contact with your ear.) it also comes with two options for securing to any helmet and additional hardware for use on full face or open face helmets. The unit is also quick release and can be interchangeable between multiple helmets. (It comes with additional securing base and mic for open faced or additional helmets, However only comes with one set of speakers for each unit so would have to purchase a second set of speakers separately for the other helmet if you want this option. But a personal choice and a non issue for this review.)
After reading some negative reviews, all I can say is that those people must have received a defective one or installed improperly because so far, these are above my expectations. Plus comes with a two year warranty. I would recommend these to anyone looking for an affordable, excellent quality, easy to operate intercom set. Again, if I encounter any issues, i will update, but so far very impressed. I give 5 stars.
Update- did a road test. I have a Harley with modified exhaust and these were still great. Could still hear the bike, but was loud enough to enjoy the music. Loved the simple one button pause and play for quick pauses to speak to other riders. Voice command with Siri still worked great for voice calls and reading/sending texts on the road. Rode for several hours and headset still had lots of battery life when done. Even had a friend try on my helmet and try it out and he plans to also order a set.
Also, it came with an additional 2 year warranty card which speaks volumes about the company’s confidence in their product. I highly recommend submitting for the extended warranty. Customer service replied immediately with a thank you email, an assurance of immediate support if required, and an additional thank you perk. With my many experiences on Amazon purchases, this company was hands down the best I have dealt with. I have recommended these to all my friends and recommend to anyone looking to get a set. Well worth the money.👍
