Great helmet once you know the features.

First of all the helmet looks really good, if you like that sleek black look it's great for you. The speakers are great, actually got so loud I couldn't handle them. My only gripe is learning how to operate the radio controls so it scans for channels in one direction and changes volume in the other. However, once you reach the maximum volume, you will hear "DI", this tells you that the volume is at maximum. To turn it off you have to wait until you hear "DI" and then twist it twice very quickly to reset it to minimum volume and start over. The radio can also be a bit tricky to navigate as you never know what station you're on. However, when you connect your bluetooth, for example via Pandora or iheartradio, it works very well, except that the volume has to be adjusted with the bluetooth device as the knob moves through the songs. So since I have 2 Freedconn helmets I was able to test the intercom feature which is great if you are riding with more than 2 people as you can all communicate fairly easily. The only flaw is that your phone turns off for obvious reasons. So I spent some time on the phone and driving around and everyone says they can't even hear the bike and I've done great. You need hands-free calls to speak out loud, but other than that it works great. I would recommend this helmet to anyone who wants a bluetooth helmet. Hope that helps.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • A dubious purchase for the elderly
