One module clamps to the side of your\nhelmet, two thin speaker pads sit in the ear pockets, a microphone goes near your mouth, and you can\ntalk to one other rider on the same setup without pulling over, without hand signals and without\nraising your voice. It also pairs to your phone, so calls, music and turn-by-turn directions come\nthrough the same speakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/assets.gearelevation.com\/pdp-bluetooth-motorcycle-helmet-intercom-headset-1000m-wireless-\/02_rider_helmet_mounted.jpg\" alt=\"A motorcyclist in a plain black full-face helmet on a rural road with the visor down, the small black intercom module clamped to the left side of the helmet shell\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the range figure, honestly\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ge-note\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe headline number on this listing is 1000 m. The manufacturer's own manual says 800 m,\n\"in the open visual range.\"\u003c\/strong\u003e That is their wording, and the qualifier is the important half of\nthe sentence: the figure is measured with two riders on a straight, empty road and nothing whatsoever\nbetween them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo things follow from that. First, this is a low-power radio — the transmit power measured in its\ncertification testing is a fraction of a milliwatt, well under what a long-range Bluetooth device puts\nout. Second, 2.4 GHz does not travel through solid objects well, and when you ride in single file the\nsolid object in the path is the rider in front of you. Add a bend, a hill, a hedge or a truck and the\nusable distance falls away quickly. The manufacturer effectively concedes this in the manual, which\nbuilds in an automatic reconnect for dropouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe practical version: if you can see your riding partner down an open road, you will almost\ncertainly hear them. If you cannot see them, do not count on it. We are repeating the headline figure\nas the seller's line-of-sight rating, not as the spacing you should plan a ride around.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/assets.gearelevation.com\/pdp-bluetooth-motorcycle-helmet-intercom-headset-1000m-wireless-\/07_what_range_means.png\" alt=\"Panel explaining that the headline range is an open line-of-sight maximum measured with nothing between the riders, and that traffic and bends cut it sharply\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eRead this before you pick an option: it is about the microphone\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe option names on this page describe \u003cstrong\u003ewhich microphone is in the box\u003c\/strong\u003e — not which\nhelmet you own.

Music and radio sit below both.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorth knowing: the phone link is a normal short-range Bluetooth connection, specified at about 10 m.\nThat is not a limitation in practice — your phone is in your pocket — but it is not the same figure as the\nrider-to-rider range, and listings often blur the two together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat we are not going to claim\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ge-safe\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWe are not calling it waterproof.\u003c\/strong\u003e The manufacturer's manual claims IP65. The same\nhardware is sold elsewhere claiming IPX6, and by two large sellers claiming no rating at all. Those cannot\nall be a measured result for one enclosure, and we could not find an ingress test certificate for any of\nthem. Treat it as rain-resistant road electronics: fine if you get caught out, not something to submerge\nor pressure-wash.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe battery figure is the manufacturer's, and they do not define it.\u003c\/strong\u003e Their manual\nspecifies 700 mAh and \"up to 15 hours\" of talk, alongside 18 hours of phone and music playback. No source\nwe can find states the volume, the duty cycle or whether \"talk\" means continuous intercom. Expect less\nthan the headline if you run it loud and talk constantly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIt is a pair, not a group.\u003c\/strong\u003e The manual documents one intercom procedure, between two\nheadsets. Some sellers of the same hardware note that a third unit can be stored and swapped in by button\npress, but only two can ever talk at once. If you ride in a group of four and want everyone on one channel,\nthis is not the device for that job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSet it up in the driveway, not on the road.\u003c\/strong\u003e Pair both headsets, set your volume and\nlearn the buttons with gloves on while you are stationary.
