RE: Cheap intercoms
It looks like crap.
You only get one speaker and it's directly attached to the mic so when you need to ajust the boom to reach your mouth the speaker moves and the velcro detaches from wherever you've mounted it inside your helmet.
You can't use any speaker on a half helmet other than an earbudand expect to hear anything.
If you decide to try and listen to music you'll be listening with one speaker.
POS don't waste your money!
If you have a full face or 3/4 helmet, look into a Chatterbox GMRS X-1 Open Face with Noise reduction. They're in the $200~300 range but well worth the money.
You can attach a passenger extension with extra speaker/mic set for the 2nd helmet. They are bike to bike communicators with 5 mile range. You can play an MP3 or Ipod through them too. There's even a Bluetooth model available!
I have them andthey work great up 60 mph and okay at speedsto 70 mph. After that it's all wind noise!
PM me if you have any questions.
