Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Here's a speaker/microphone solution for using Midland GMRS/FRS radios on your bike, for a clear commication option on the open road.

Designed For Closed-Faced Helmets

The boom microphone is specifically designed for closed-face (flip-top) helmets. If you have an open-faced helmet you'll want to opt for the AVP-H1.

In-Helmet Speakers/Microphone

Included are two low-profile speakers that attach inside your helmet, and a boom microphone that also fits inside. An extra-long cable connects the devices to your GMRS radio elsewhere on your bike/person.

PTT Button

A PTT (push-to-talk) button is included as well, and wraps around your handle bar for quick and easy access without having to reach for your helmet.

Compatibility

The AVP-H1 works with all Midland GMRS/FRS radios.

1.0 out of 5 stars Too Quiet, August 9, 2009

I purchased two of these headsets for a motorcycle trip. The installation was relatively easy and generally I liked the setup. The ear pieces did cause my helmet (HJC CL-SP) to press against my ears but I think my helmet might actually have been the problem.

All that became irrelevant though when we discovered that it was difficult to hear each other at 40 mph and impossible by 60. The problem was not wind noise or poor sound quality, it was (like some other reviews have pointed out) that the volume simply did not go loud enough. It even sounded too quiet when we were sitting right next to each other with our bikes idling. Since we spent most of our time at 70 mph the radios were almost useless to us.

I noticed that many of the positive reviews mentioned using them with ATVs. Perhaps for low speed use these would be acceptable, but if you are looking for something to use on the highway, keep looking.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great addition to your walkie-talkie when ATVing, August 24, 2006

My wife and I use these with our Midland radios when ATVing and are a great investment for closed faced helmets. The only improvement, to make it 5 stars, is for the cord to be a bit longer so I can better wire my helmet.

I bought this item for use while riding my ATV. It fit easily into the helmet and the sound quality was great. After a few weeks of use, however, it would lock the radio up in transmit mode and couldn't be released. I had purchased a second kit for another helmet, so I tried that one. It did the same thing as the first one. Midland customer service said they would replace them both. I hope the replacements last longer. It is possible that unplugging them with the radio "on" may have contributed to their failure. I will try turning the radio "off" prior to disconnecting in the future. There were no warnings in the limited instructions that came with the headsets to indicate this could be a problem. At least their customer service is good.
