Review on 🏍️ Torc T14B Mako Full Face Helmet with Integrated Bluetooth by Levi Stewart

I like to judge things objectively and accurately. To that end, I submit this to you for your approval. If TLDR, skip to the end. Comfort and Fit: The helmet is true to size. As with other reviews, my ears fell a bit when I wore them occasionally, but this is not a problem depending on the size of my ears, the helmet you put on and the helmet padding worn out. The chin strap is non-invasive and fits comfortably under my chin and not too far back to cause discomfort or interfere with swallowing or speaking. The weight is acceptable and comparable to a standard full face on the market. The padding is sufficient and makes a solid impression. Some of the internal foam is visible on the inside above the speakers, but this is purely an aesthetic issue. The helmet fits snugly to the head when properly fastened with minimal head shake. Protection and safety: In terms of protection and safety, I am satisfied that the helmet is DOT certified. From a safety point of view, the wind noise is higher than my previous helmet. Thinking about the wind noise, it can be a little overwhelming, but overall not that bad. There will be wind noise. You are on a motorcycle. The visor is adequate and fits well on the front of the helmet. Klares Kind conveys what is acceptable through the internal sun visor. Features: The operation of the sun visor is smooth and easy to use. It locks in both the up and down positions. In the locked position, the visor does not stay completely in place. This means that the visor can only be operated with the helmet switch. Chances of breakage can be high if you operate it through the visor yourself. However, this shouldn't be a problem as there's no reason to manage it manually. The sun visor could be a bit darker, but it is sufficient. I had to squint a little in direct sunlight. The overhead sun is not a problem. The main visor sags a bit in the "ventilated" position. It will close quickly. (I mentioned this because I know that many riders like to "bleed" the main visor to prevent or remove fogging.) This problem is partially solved during the day by using the (inner) sun visor and the main visor can leave above. . The chin strap is standard and easy to use. The vents are present and well designed from an aesthetic point of view, but vent actuation feels delayed. The ventilation is not very good and only becomes noticeable at higher speeds (> 60 mph). The graphics on the helmet are EXTREMELY muted compared to the photo. Don't expect to see the flag image easily. That was one of the reasons I bought the flag and not a plain matte one. I suggest saving the extra money and buying a plain matte or gloss black helmet. Design: Well-designed and beautiful helmet. This is of course subjective. However, I don't think it will make your head big or flabby. Sharp corners favor the design and wrap well around the helmet. The Bluetooth handle is in a good place. Might be an inch ahead (as could the sun visor switch). Be careful with the pen. It seems like it could easily break if you're not careful with your gloved hand. He feels free in the area. Operation should be limited to turning the knob and pressing the Bluetooth middle: the moment you've been waiting for (probably missed, as I did in the reviews I've read). Loudspeakers are sufficient. There is slight distortion when listening to music at maximum volume. The maximum volume is also enough for a loud bike (95 HD Sportster Custom with straight pipes. My bike is damn loud). Low notes are somewhat lacking, but the presence of music outweighs most quality issues. There are no instructions on how to use Bluetooth. You have to find out. Read at the end to see what I learned. There is also some "jump" or "drops" in music playback. Usually disappears in about 20 seconds or so when this happens. I haven't experienced static. The helmet is designed for loudspeakers so that the ears are not (or only minimally) disturbed. The microphone is terrible. Telephone conversations are heard well, but the interlocutor is not heard when rolling; even at low speeds. There is hum and noise. I've been told that I'm "talking like a robot," "talking into a pipe," and "talking in a tunnel" when driving over 15 mph. The problem seems to be wind action around the bottom of the helmet. Part of the problem was partially solved when I blocked the entire bottom of the helmet (dangerous to ride but helped me diagnose the problem). Changing the volume, tone of voice, and speaking rate didn't help at all. The person on the other end of the line said he could hear the road noise and my bike perfectly. Conclusion: Good helmet for the money. I would recommend this to everyone. If you are looking for high quality, you should spend your money. This is a great entry-level Bluetooth headset that any owner would love to own. The microphone needs a lot of work and the speakers are sufficient. The helmet is comfortable and the visors are great. This would be a good buy if you want to save some money and still have good protection for your dome. Four stars based on the microphone, the apparent quality of the Bluetooth components, the overall quality, the product value, the features and the fit. This is a good product and I would buy it again if the need arose. PLEASE READ! Here's what I learned about the basics of how BT works with iOS: Music: Pairing is very easy. Press and hold the button until the indicators change to put the device in pairing mode. Double tap to play/pause music. Rotate and release clockwise to increase volume (counterclockwise to decrease volume). Rotate clockwise and approximately 3 seconds or (before the beep) for NEXT TRACK (counterclockwise for PREVIOUS TRACK {during first 3 seconds of track}. Press once to answer/hang up call. Keep screen of your phone in your pocket so you can activate Siri (for Voice Dial/Command) as needed I haven't used the navigation but I think the voice control is turn-by-turn
