Review on ILM Bluetooth Integrated Modular Flip Up Full Face Motorcycle Helmet Sun Shield Mp3 Intercom Model 953 (S by Troy Drake

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I never leave reviews except for my fellow passengers :)

I'm sure you bought it for the same reason I did, to listen to music while cruising down the freeway, and my review is basically about that . Arrived in 2 days - WOW! I had a small comfort issue [maybe because I'm a tall guy and my head reflects that?] but customer service responded the next day and was resolved, so 5 stars for that! So far Bluetooth has only collected music stored on my Galaxy phone, but I want to use a Bluetooth MP3 player instead of my 4 year old phone (to delay my next $700-$1000 phone purchase!) and the first bluetooth player (4.0) I bought, doesn't work but I'll keep trying until I find one that works (will update this when I do to help you, may take a while), but in the meantime I have music to listen to! sound quality. I have trouble listening to music at speeds over 50 mph, but I'm an old fart in my 60's and I know I've lost my hearing a bit from being extremely loud the day before OSHA and a manator ear machines worked. Plugs so you have to take that with a grain of salt but I think I found a solution, after doing some music research I noticed that my entire music collection of 1000 songs was in mp3 format and found FLAC format (the larger kb but also much higher sound quality and volume) was the way to go, so I chose 200 favorite music files in this format, for example: my average mp3 music file is 5000 kb, but the new songs I get are about in the middle when I stopped doing this review, a size between 20,000 and 850,000 KB, 850,000 is the largest music file I've bought so far and it's CD quality. Why am I only what I know about these? ? :) Opening my MP3 music file and my new FLAC music file and flipping through the same songs is totally day and night, oh my god what a HUGE difference, the sound quality and volume is insanely good! I'll let you know if that fixes the problem! Oh, and the inner flip-up sun visor is AWESOME! Peace be upon you :) UPDATE: Luckily I found a 4.0 bluetooth player on my second try [according to my research 4.1 and above is not compatible with this helmet, if you find one feel free to correct me so I can too can order one!] and here it is: 16GB Clip MP3 Player with Bluetooth 4.0, AGPTEK A50S Lossless Audio Music Player with Sport Bracelet, Support FM Radio Voice Recording and 128GB Extension, BlackLINK: https://www.amazon.com /gp /product/ B07F33HVY3/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Apparently I bought the last one here because it says it's sold out at the moment, but I've seen it elsewhere on Revain so you can still get it! The other MP3 player that didn't work with this helmet that I sent back was a fancy Dancy and only had buttons on the screen like a smartphone and was pretty darn hard to understand and now I'm glad it didn't worked, sorry . I never take my eyes off the road but this player is old school, it has a raised keyboard and I can reach my right wrist and use the only button I need, the fast forward button, without looking around. on him ! The volume control is on the helmet, so I'm ready! I also found a rubber bracelet scattered around the house, so I put a player on it. UPDATE on the phone sound quality: After upgrading my music files to FLAC format, I went a step further and downloaded a high-resolution music player called Neutron (by Eval, I have the free version but I think I'll get it with 6 $.99 get by and update it because it's that good) which has a much better sound and volume only used when I put 30 hours into my new bluetooth. Player! I hope this helped and saved you time (I'm retired and have all the time in the world :)) PS 2 people have been asking me how to contact the seller, you can only do so through their Revain Two Wheels Account shift the soul" - RIDE SMART, RIDE SAFELY!
