I bought the helmet as I was looking for bluetooth so I can talk while riding. I am going to break up this review into 3 parts. 1. The bluetooth feature 2. The style of the helmet 3. The sound level First the bluetooth feature. The bluetooth feature works as long as you are not moving. I have a quiet motorcycle and you can't even hear the person you are talking to on the other end. Even with the volume up all the way it is too quiet. I am very disappointed in that I was looking forward to it. I have already returned the helmet waiting for refund. If you don't mind a bluetooth helmet where you can talk while standing still then the bluetooth helmet here will work for you fine. But you will not be able to ride and talk at the same time. Now let's move onto the style and appearance. I would rate the looks of the helmet a strong 5 as it is awesome looking. Now lets move onto the sound level. The sound level is too loud for a bluetooth helmet. People say you can hear the wind and this is unacceptable and it's even a blue tooth helmet. You think they would make the helmet quiet. Here is my honest review and final statement. If you don't mind a helmet that only works when stopped and not moving you will love this helmet and its perfect for that. If however you want to talk to people while riding I would not order it.

That is the key. Make sure you are ok with stopping and talking to someone then it will be ok for you but when you think about it, if you can stop then why wouldn't you just use your cell phone and save the money on getting the helmet? See it doesn't make sense.

For the price, this helmet seems ok. It dosent have the liftable front face, which I have noticed is rather shakey on these models. Dosen't have the sun glasses, which I hear gets loose and drops out of the helmet at random times. Was dissapointed in the quality of the Bluetooth. I have tried others that was way nicer. You cant hear anything on the highway, not even music. The one speaker just isnt enough. You can hear it on regular streets however, and the battery will last just about all day with a full charge. The helmet if outfitted with a slot for another speaker, but the wires are hard wired in, so any tampering with the system to make it a two speaker system will void the warranty.

Great helmet. I have had it for a while now and it works great. I wish the speakers were louder but I think that is more of a safety issue.

I have had this helmet for about 2 weeks now. Before this purchase I was using wired headphones (using just one ear). Now that I have purchased, I can now listen to music wireless when on the road. The sound is loud enough to hear the music (unless you have a bad quality mp3) yet still hear what is going on around you. This was exactly what I was wanting. As far as talking while driving, as long as you are "in town" it is fine. If on the interstate, the bike is too loud to hear what the person is saying even though they hear me fine. I have a VX1100 with the baffles drilled.

I don't know what the other reviewers are talking about, this is a great helmet! The size fit perfectly, the style is really cool and the bluetooth works fine. I can hear fine when I'm riding and they can hear me. If it's too quiet theres a volume knob on it, just turn it up!
