Title: Intercom
Post by: Andy FZS on 15 August 2012, 10:28:56 am

Does anyone use an intercom? Are they any good? Are some better than others? Should some be avoided? Any info or experiences good or bad of intercoms appreciated.
Thanks
Andy :)

I have only used cheepo ones but I have found then very good. for a while I was using home made headsets (made from small microphone and walkman speakers)  The very cheep ones with boom that clips to your ear are very hard to get into the helmet and tend to dig into the side of your head . these are ok up to about 50mph. I am using an oxford bike mike one at the moment , this was bought cheep on e bay . this is good up to around 65 mph on a still day.
I have some amplifier/ controll units from the very cheep units if you want to make your own .

My girlfriend has recently taken to riding pillion so I purchased a set of Interphone Bluetooth headsets.  They were easy to fit and are really clear.  Recommended.

Is "Interphone" a specific brand as I've seen several on Ebay, which are yours and do you have an approx idea of price.
Cheers

Interphone is a brand.  I have a pair of F4 units as these have all the functionality I need.  Tested so far up to around 80 mph and clear enough.
