4.0 out of 5 stars 4 star performance, May 22, 2007

By	Ricky R. Taylor (Texas) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought 2 interphones before going on vacation. We put them on our helmets and off we went. We both had 3/4 helmets, and going down the road at 70 there was so much wind noise it was hard to understand but you could still hear. On vacation I bought a flip up full face helmet and that made all the difference in the world. These things are really great, it kinda all depends on how much the wind is blowing with a 3/4 but with a full face you can hear no matter what speed.
I would have rated 5 stars but it states that the talk time is 10 hours, we did not get any where close to that leaving the unit on interphone continuously, but if you just turn it on interphone just when you want to talk and then put it back on standby then it lasts all day. Leaving it on interphone all the time, we just got about 2 to 3 hrs talk time.
Also it would be great if you could communicate with more than just 1 other unit like when you are traveling with several people. We had some friends that went with us and they bought them also, but we could not communicate with them just each other. Overall it is the best thing out there

4.0 out of 5 stars It's nearly there, July 30, 2007

By	Ann Wilson (Sultan, WA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The BlueAnt Interphone works as advertised with good volume and clarity. It's weakness is it's short battery life. We have used them on several rides and marvel at the way they function as a Bluetooth with the Zumo and phone, but it is the bike to bike communication that is really great. It says in the advertising that they reach 490 feet, however we have had up to a half mile separation and still had communication. You can carry on a conversation as if you were sitting next to someone on the sofa. After about 4 hours, you're out of battery and all is lost. You'd think that in today's era of 8 to 10 hour rides that an otherwise excellent device such as this would be able to last the ride. There's no way to charge the battery on the go or replace the battery with a spare. You have to put the unit on the 115v charger to get it to work again. I really can't reccomend this product unless you intend to use it only for short trips.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent product, July 30, 2007

By	L. Barrier (Greensboro, NC USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

These units have a 'low' and 'loud' setting with volume up/down for the 'low' (default) level. I haven't used the 'loud' as I really didn't want to do that to my eardrums but I assume the volume adjustments operate there, too. At the default setting with moderate vulume setting, wearing full-face helmets the wife and I could communicate with no problem up to 45mph. I wore earplugs; she did not. Above 45mph she was unable to hear me attempt to talk to her, but I (with the earplugs) could hear every word she said as clear as a bell.

In face, I have used the unit with my cell phone up to 80mph. This unit allows voice answer capability. To answer, say 'hello' a couple of times; to not answer, keep yer yap shut :) the wind noise is not recognized as voice and the call is not answered. I tried voice dialing at Interstate speed, though and had no success except at low speed. Undoubtedly due to the wind noise in the mike. My voie commands were recorded in a very quiet environment and so that failing I attribute entirely to the cell phone's voice recognition.

Would I buy this product again? Absolutely. It paired with my cell phone extremely easily. Pairing with the other Interphone unit would likely have been equally easy had I paid more attention to the instructions up front.

I wish they made a mobile charger available so the unit(s) could be recharged on the road. As it is, once the batteries are discharged it's all the way home to recharge with the wall unit. That's not really a flaw, just a wish for more convenience.

Terrific product, excellent sound quality. Wear hearing protection and you should have excellent communications capability at any speed.
