Just thought I would post some notes on this. I gave it a try after someone else had told me they were quite impressed by this Bluetooth headset for only £37
I thought maybe it could have done with a stick on bracket, but the clamp style will fit most helmets. The controls are pretty simple, an on/off button and a dial which does forward and back (changes tracks).
Pros
Great priceEasy to fitReasonably loud (although I’ve not actually tried it on the move yet)Neat & tidy design
Cons
No bass at allDoesn’t use mini or micro USB to charge (has own cable, but how hard would it have been to simple charge through micro USB?) http://amzn.to/YhCaLP
I’ll post a little more once I’ve used it out and about.
It says rider to rider on the package, I would be surprised if it was bike to bike, as that tends to run to a few more ££s than 37.
The Scala G4 does that job, but for a dual set I think it comes in at a whopping £300.
It would be nice to find one of these units where you could dial 1 number, I have never found voice activation to work.
if it could dial just 1 number, you would have rider to rider, so long as the 1 number you put in was the phone of the other rider, who had a similar headset.
You would think they would do that, market it at about £60 and make a steal
Also, I’m having a look through the manual now and I see you can adjust the volume also, good news.
Yes, works bike to bike in intercom mode. Simply pair up two units and off you go. Says it has 6 hours talk time in this mode, but in reality it may be much less than this if it’s constantly in communication.
Was thinking about getting some sort of bluetooth handsfree/intercom device but do I really want to be disturbed by people when riding? Its the only bit of peace I get.
I used it for a short ride to work and back, so nothing at real high speeds. It can go reasonably loud, but the speakers struggle when you go anywhere near full volume on phone and headset. There really is no bass, so listening to music there’s no hiding it sounds cheap.
Listening to podcasts/voice, it generally sounded pretty clear and I liked I can pause and resume by pressing the handset on the unit. I’ve not tried calling anyone with it yet though.
I have wondered if there’s some better speakers that can be wired in to it?
