I bought these V6-1200 on Ali... for 56 eur. Works GREAT! Super sound for com and phone. Max distance I talk with other helmet was 1.8 km, line of sight.
i like them for communication with another rider/ passenger thats all i wanted they sound great ive had more expensive ones and they were every bit the hassle to use !! lets face it folks we are goin for a ride to enjoy ourselves and leave the tech world and real world problems behind .
I worked in the bike trade for over a decade starting in 2000 and I can say that bike to bike comms have come on leaps and bounds for the general public. Back in the UK the only option really was "Autocom" and you had to have a bloody radio connected and every part over the basic units where add on. Just the handle bar push to talk would cost more than these devices and that was back in 2005. Whilst the latch might not seem very strong there are countries where helmet mounted items be it intercoms or cameras have to release easily in the event of a crash, not saying it is the case and more than likely it is just to save some pennies but it is noteworthy. Back in the day there was even concern regarding the "Troy lee fin" that Anthony Gobert made popular, the idea was the fin could catch in a crash and do head and neck damage. All in 80 bucks or £50 odd is almost chuck away money, I have one of these units that I have just fitted into my own lid that will be used "only" for GPS navigation commands and speed camera warnings so the button function is not something I will worry about. I guess the future progression for this product is a handlebar mounted button arrangement.. Until the last few weeks when I started to look into headset units I was astounded with what you can get now for not very much money, honestly a unit like this would have been a pipe dream when I was riding thousands of miles each year. Thanks anyway for the review very informative and hopefully I do not run into any issues..
Thanks for chiming in on this subject. I do remember the old systems where you had a cord you had to plug into the bike and remember to unplug every time you go off or you would lynch yourself. I haven't posted a video yet as I am still testing them out, But I bought a set of the Cardo Freedom Rider 2. They have a slightly larger speaker, which I did have to do a little work on my wife's helmet to make them fit, but the sound quality is simply astounding. I wouldn't suggest CRANKING them all the way up, but these can easily go loud enough to cover all wind noise and tailpipe noise of my Indian. They thump too. They can be voice activated or push button. Only four buttons, solid click, easy to locate with the gloves on. Great product, for 195 Euro. Well worth the upgrade. Thank again for your comments
@@OpenRoader Thats not "a little". Its a huge amount :) I was thinking of V8 because of its remote and better overall tech. But cant find solid info about that one.
I''m using it for few years now. It's not that hard to operate volume control even with gloves. You can't pair it with Sena, but there's a other cheap intercoms that can. Also it will be nice to be able to communicate between more than two people at the same time. pozdrowienia z Bułgarii
I have used similar kit for year+ now, and the ~40,000mi and while had a couple issues (plastic hold kit breaking, one unit quitting in heavy rain in on Alcan) they were rock solid and cheap to replace. Great battery life, quality mic/headphones, the lack of ground chat their biggest impediment.
OMG, finally someone who answered one of the most important questions: can you talk to each other and listen to your phone GPS at same time? Thanks for the great review! :) I was about to start thinking that all the reviewers have no brain as nobody covered this topic at all!
@@OpenRoader some more information on how they work here: If u connect for instance 4 of them, they r fully duplex, i.e. All 4 four can talk and listen to each other at the same time without having to press any buttons once set up, just talk normaly. See the comments to this video th-cam.com/video/fCgSiqWvUTA/w-d-xo.html ____ So i guess the real drawback is the placement of the volume buttons (and the off button) and that u cannot use (listen to) the GPS and chatt at the same time. (Also negative is that they unclick easier). But they seem to work quite well for chatting and listening to music, while listening to the GPS is only possible to do alone.
as the unit has cheap jack plugs : make an extension cord and a kind of strap and wrap the unit on your arm or something. then you always can see the buttons. problem solved. heck this beats the wau to expensive sena and cardo systems.
I got these type of coms, but with usb c and not headphone jack. They work great when you are standing still...but if you go over 30-40 km/h they start to cut out and go silent...and that is with the passanger, not even someone further away of the rider...Waste of money
I used Scala Rider for years, for me Scala is the best. Yes you get with you pay for. Packtalk is the ultimate motorcycle communication. Spend $500.00 and get the Cardo Scala Rider PackTalk Duo Motorcycle Bluetooth Helmet Intercom.
I did just that having tried the Packtalk. But my friends are not interested in spending $500 on a BT headset. I got a pair of these generic Vnetphone second hand for pillion and to lend out to other riders. They work really well over about 500mtrs with a couple of vehicles between us and pair up with phone not problem.
Great review, THANKS alot man! The buttons are absolutely ridiculous. Especialy the OFF button killed it for me. Also the unclipping. Definitely not worth it, at least as long one wears gloves ...
Buttons are to small, but you turn the device on when you get on the bike and off when you are at destination so no problem. The off button is the same as On button. You only have to set volume once. Maybe once or twice to tweak (gloves off) and never use the buttons again. Bought a set for 58 euro's and still working after more than 4 years. Best money ever spend
If they cost the same as the Cardo Packtalk I'd give them 1/10 but for $80 they do what they need to do, badly, but they work so I give them 4/10. To talk to a pillion, or a friend who has no BT unit in his helmet, they are great to lend out on rides.
Ive bought a set of 2 Chinese Wish interphone V6 years ago (I guess 4 years) and they are great and still working fantastic. Used them with my (now ex) girlfriend and it made riding so much more fun!! We were having a great time while both on a different bike and we just had fun, making jokes, so handy that you can talk about what you see instead of a hand gesture that the other didnt understand. When I was hungry or wanted a cappuccino, gasoline or whatever. The distance we could talk was amazing, hundreds of meters. No problem! I paid €57 for both of us! Now I drive alone but still uses it for my navigation and speed warnings. Best thing I have ever bought in China Oke...volume buttons to small, thats the only downside. And it works 8 hours. You cannot charge it while using. If you need longer than 8 hours...bring a mobile charger and charge them while you stop for lunch etcetera.
Do these units talk to other brands such as Sena? Also when linked to phone can you listen to GPS, Phone calls as well as music on the phone, I have a iPhone 7 Plus?
this is what I bought for myself and my daughter on my valkyrie with 6 into 6 straight pipes. www.trademe.co.nz/1543715216 those are NZ$ not US$ and is for a pair. The handlebar remote is essential. Those tiny buttons stuck to the side of your helmet where you can't see them are useless. My daughter (pillion) wears her remote on a string around her neck and tucked into her jacket. My bike is VERY loud and when I cane it, forget about hearing the intercom, forget about hearing anything At town speed (50-80km/h) the intercom is pretty good, at highway speed (100km/h) you gotta put the volume at max and pretty much shout into your helmet, but it is better than no intercom at all. When you consider a pair of good Senas is around NZ$1000, I am quite happy with my Chinese knock off.

100%

Spend a little more and get a named brand. I have the Cardo brand and they are very good

lol lol i use mine for my EBIKE lol works great .just buy a cardo if you want better sound love mine cardo too
The newer version offers a remote for your handlebars for a few bucks more, solves lots of problems.
That's what I heard. I tried to see if I could buy just the remote, but I haven't found any information or place where I can. Thanks for your comments
Yours is the v6 the v8 allow for multi uses at 1 time so iv heard
I have two devices they work great. Before these i has cardo system. The V6 is much better and a longer range FANTASTIC
Very interesting, thanks for watching
Great review, THANKS alot man!
The buttons are absolutely ridiculous. Especialy the OFF button killed it for me. Also the unclipping. Definitely not worth it, at least as long one wears gloves ...
Yeah, there are plenty of other choices. I think I am going to have to buy something else soon. These are unusable. 2/10

I see they are 3.5 jack for the speakers.....do they work with standard EarBuds also??
That's a good question. I don't know
No, they do not have the same location of the connections as on mobiles

5 years and still no answer... 😅
No they do not

you should have got the handlebar remote control that goes with it.
Valk that is something I will have to look for. Thanks for your comments

Thanks for this information. I contacted the company to see if I can purchase just the remote and if it will work with the units I have
So how do these work? Can I just connect them to a normal headset without a helmet and have wireless communications without a cell phone?
Yes, technically you could use them as a walkie talkie. No cell phone required.
Look up reviews on the BT 800. I think you'll like it better.

Right?
Thanks buddy, you may have saved me some cash 😉
Ride safe
Glad I did. I ended up purchasing the Scala Freecom 2 and it works great. Highly recommended. Good luck!
Anyone tried in -30 when on a snowmobile
Nope, never done that
Nope. At -30 I'm inside drinking hot cocoa
compatible with Sena?
Alicia Lehoux yes, they are just Bluetooth
any of them. with mesh technology?
Not these
Not for that money - you’ll need to shell out for a Sena or Cardo for mesh.
Correct
You pretty much get what you pay for, nothing more nothing less. Me Personally, I use Sena for all of my Communication and Video. Thanks for Sharing.

How to hook you video to mics
I use a total different system to this
What camera did you use
I use a GoPro Hero 2 and 6 as well as a Sena Prism helmet cam
for the price you are paying....i guess you are just asking too much, aren't you...
