I have read elsewhere there is issues with the bluetooth setups, but wired seems to be fine. No personal experience yet, but i will be going down that route soon. | ||

I know there will always be interference with HF signals but no strings is good! | ||

I just got the XBI version and I like it I have to readjust the speaker locations some b/c at full volume I couldn't hear them talking of course going 80mph with a Micron exhaust doesn't help matters lol I also had to trim some of the Mic foam it's WAY to big for my application my lips were stuck to it lol I can hear the mp3's and the Zumo chick talking fine tho | ||

Had em and the stink compared to BlueAnt's Interphone. Seriously- I ride an XB9S with a race pipe and my girlfriend rides a Blast with a Vance and Hines pipe (MUCH louder than my Lightning). We just used them again tonight, and even at 70 mph there is literally no wind noise or engine noise transmitted! They also have Bluetooth for phone usage. I had a buddy recommend them to me after talking to me while he was riding down the road at 65 mph on his Ducati Monster 800 with pipes on it- I literally had no clue! Completely wireless too- all mounts on the helmet. i also had a set of Nady's that I'm sure worked well enough, I just couldn't do the wires- I actually bought them and never used them because it seemed like too much of a pain to deal with the wires. I swear by these (The BlueAnt ones) things now. They are cheapest at NewEgg. | ||

I have a Cardo Scala FM.. works great. no problems with bluetooth. my phone will even broadcast voice navigation into the helmet via the bluetooth =D FM radio works great - plenty loud enough for a D&D pipe + 80mph wind noise. The only complaint is that at highway speeds, plus the noise level of my D&D pipe, other people have a hard time understanding me when on the phone. I know a guy with the same brand/model but a quieter exhaust and he has no problems talking on the phone at highway speeds. (Message edited by pkforbes87 on September 10, 2008) | ||

I have a chatterbox. They work well enough, but I've really grown attached to having those sound isolation headphones, so helmet speakers won't do for me anymore. | ||

(scratching head) I go out on the bike to get away from all that. But that's me, carry on. | ||

I have ADHD and well 10 min in to a ride I get the itch to do something eels or go really fast or cut cars. the radio helps with that problem. | ||

I mostly use the radio whenever i get bored (not a lot of curves in nebraska) and use the phone or voice navigation on long trips | ||

In Florida, it's against the law to operate a vehicle wearing any device that covers the ears and transmits sound. For me, there is no better music than that of my motorcycle. | ||
| Pkforbes87 |
nebraska only allows a speaker in one ear. i'm hoping the LEOs can't see inside my helmet =S | ||

Ive said it before You Don't Want To Know whats going on in my head when I ride its best I am left to rant alone | ||
| Barnyard |
Rant that is one more thing I'm looking for a AM radio that i can hook up to it. I like to hear Michael Savage's Rants on the way home and it is kinda hard to do that. | ||

I have one in an Icon Airframe helmet. Used it once on a call to make sure it worked (it did). The mic is WAY TOO BIG even with the foam cover removed. I'm not going to be on my bike yapping, but it's nice to have in case someone really needs to get hold of me. (Message edited by Brazenbuck on September 12, 2008) |
