FodsportsFX8 Motorcycle Bluetooth Intercom with Noise Cancellation,Bluetooth Headset with FM,Up to 8 Riders Helmet Intercom,Helmet Headset Communication System for ATV/Dirt Bike/Off Road/2pcs

I have relied on ear buds (corded and cordless) for a few years when snowmobiling and never found them comfortable. Always having to go to the cell phone to skip tracks and adjust volume was a hassle too when using buds.This device is so easy to use and frees you from fumbling with your cell phone when listening to music or using your phone feature. Sound quality is great and maximum volume is louder than any ear buds that I have used - makes my snowmobiling an awesome experience.Even installed on the outside of the helmet in -30C weather, the FX8 holds a charge far better than I expected. My cell phone (inside of my jacket) will run out of charge before the FX8. A full charge lasts over 12 hours easily.The FODSPORTS FX8 is becoming very popular among my group of friends that snowmobile or use any outdoors type vehicle (ATV, motorcycle, side by side, etc). I recommend it to everyone I know! Great price and great functionality.

If you read this, you are making your fair share of research of these kinds of devices. And I wanted to buy the expensive name brands, too. Do the upgraded JBL speakers sound like real headphones? I don't know. For some reason I expected the sound quality to be on par with standard headphones. Maybe other brands are better maybe they are all the same. So if you want fantastic sound quality - then either upgrade the speakers or buy a different device. For me, the focus was on communication. I want to to talk to my wife while we are riding through the mountains. We both have our own bikes. This works great!Here are the PROS:- great range and re-connect: On open roads the range is probably close to half a mile. Behind switchbacks you'll get disconnected but it auto connects after which is a huge plus- wind noise: You pretty much don't hear anything besides the voice (or very heavy breathing). We wear full face helmets - not sure how this is for open face- battery life: We had this on a 3 day trip and never charged it (we actually forgot and it worked all day long)- waterproof: We ran into some really heavy rains and these did not show any signs of damage- Price: Let's face it - if you are looking into these, you think the name brands are too expensive- connectivity to multiple devices: I had navigation on from my phone and we were able to talk at the same time. I think you are supposed to be able to share audio with any driver but I haven't figured that outCONS:- sound quality: It's totally acceptable but sounds more like a phone call than a good bluetooth connection normally sounds like.- high speeds: while you can hear everything at speeds up to 55mph - anything above (even with a full face) and you won't be able to have a conversation - even on highest volumeFor me - the PROs far outweigh the CONs but I have also never used any other intercom!

Works well, phone calls are clear and music is also clear while riding. Easy installation in helmet.

I read some good reviews on this product so thought I would give it a go. I was immediately concerned as soon as I opened the box. One of the headsets had some dodgy looking wiring. It didn't look broken as it was mainly the outer insulation that was too short in one part leaving the very thin internal wires exposed.Fitting the devices to the helmets wasn't so difficult, just a bit fiddly and the different combinations of microphones, headphones and mounts was good.Pairing to each other (two FX8's) was simple as was pairing to the mobile phone. Haven't tried to connect to other intercoms.The sound quality is very, very 'tinny' and cheap sounding whether listening to music or voice through intercom. Not a deal breaker given the price, but it gets worse from here on.The intercom only really works when stationary!! When moving I could only manage to pick out one word in every ten or so my daughter was saying and she was sitting on the same bike as me! It's not because of wind noise, it just keeps breaking up / dropping out although my daughter told me that she could hear me so maybe there is a problem with just one of them.The radio was the same. Every several minutes it would just cut out from anywhere between 10 to 30 seconds before coming back on.The headphones are hard-wired into the mount which is a terrible idea you will have to buy a whole new mount when the wiring fails.The plug that covers the charging port is all but completely useless!! It just constantly falls out which if you ride in the rain or get caught in the rain would be a real concern.Lastly, don't be fooled by Fodsports flash website and their promises of great service. Could not be further from the truth. Good luck if you need to contact them. They may reply once or twice, then they just completely ignore any further emails.I've tried to get this working by trying different things I have read, but nothing has helped.I'd be prepared to try another set hoping mine was just a bad unit, but as of the time of writing this, I am returning them to Amazon, who, by the way made the return very simple (the return has not been fully completed yet).

It serves the purpose. Clear sound. Highly recommended.
