Review on Pulse Pro 2 0 Premium Speaker by Maurice Strawther

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not as good as they claim

I didn't get them from Revain but they came with full connection setup, I bought them from the dealer. Communication with the communicator is poor, mine was damaged early on from normal use, and sometimes you have to move it to restore sound. The audio quality is severely distorted even when using the app's audio settings when higher levels are set. The placement of the speakers must be precise so that they can be heard from afar. Most importantly, if your bike is noisy, forget it. My R6 is heavily tuned in the ECU and the engine is fitted with Akrapovic headers and mids with an FMF Pro Comp GP Shorty, it's loud as a 600 sport but nowhere near some of the liters I've heard, or in particular on Harley or custom chopper. Above 8K it's just annoying because I can only tell there's sound coming out of the speakers but I can't make it out, and at higher speeds it's obviously made worse by wind noise. Phone calls are useless except in standby mode. I built a headphone amp and then bought a decent quality amp and in both cases the distortion caused the speakers to sound louder, which solved one problem and aggravated another. Sure I could hear it through the engine/exhaust now, but the sound quality was so bad it wasn't worth it. Oh, and bass quickly distorts bass-heavy music, I had to set the bass level below default (right in the middle) to prevent this. I listen to hard rock, metal and 90's rap, deep bass make this music sound stupid. I wasn't expecting anything close to Beats or Bose quality, but I was hoping for ease of use. I understand my bike's volume is my problem, not the speakers fault, just be aware your bike is loud, that's not your answer.
