I wasn't expecting much out of this but I was pretty impressed. Installation was easy. Sound quality is adequate for riding. No problems or complaints with the call quality. Most people don't realize i'm riding when they call. The speakers are not going to win any awards, but they are perfectly good for riding. Sound is loud enough with ear plugs in to just hear and makeout the music on the interstate at 75mph. Thats with a loud helmet and good wind blast. Plenty good enough for riding.3 complaints are:1. holding the button to turn it on/off is a pain. Its impossible to feel with gloves on and when turning it off, you have to listen for the beep. It seems to finally turn off after about 8 seconds of holding the button. Seems like a long time No outside indicator the power is off. Easy to deal with, just a minor annoyance.2.Battery life. I get about 4-5 hours on the battery. Which is normally more than enough for a single ride, but it often dies on my second or third ride because the battery life is so short. You almost have to plug the unit in after every ride. This leads me into the next minor issue.3. Charging cable is proprietary. Don't lose it. Do not leave home on a trip without it. It needs to, at very least be micro USB or better yet, USB-C.Overall, I am happy with the product. The cons listed are minor in comparison to the joy it brings me being able to listen to my music and talk to people who call during my rides. It works as intended and besides the minor annoyances. Its a good product for the price.
Seems to be a solid set of headsets for the price. I haven't had a chance to use them on the road yet, but they work well and come through loud and clear in preliminary kitchen tests. I may edit my review in the future if I need to, but for now it's getting 5 stars on merit of customer service.I bought this headset set to use as an intercom system between my wife and myself on bike trips. She's usually my navigator so it would be nice to be able to hear when she's telling me I'm about to miss the turn we wanna make. She wears a 3/4 helmet and I use a full face, so when I ordered this set I mistakenly thought I was ordering the set with boom mics. I actually bought the set that has the mics that attach to a wire instead of the boom mics, which is my fault for not paying attention. This set up worked fine for my full face helmet, but not so much for my wife's 3/4. I was about to start planning an elaborate project to make my own boom for her mike, when I was struck by an idea: what if I just asked the vendor for a boom mic for hers? I did just that, and after a very pleasant email exchange, I had her boom mic 2 days later. Installation was very easy on both helmets, and both units work as they should. I admit that the controls can be a bit tricky to learn since you really only have 2 buttons and a dial for volume to interface with a pretty good number of things these units can do, but clear instructions are provided to show you what you have to do to get the result you want. All in all I'm happy with the purchase and would recommend.
Relatively easy to install. It always connects to my iPhone 15. The speakers, when I’m on the phone, are plenty loud, and I ride a big thumper. It is harder to hear the voice prompts, but it’s not that big of a deal. For the price, it suits me fine.
