Incar intercom
bi22le - 14/3/10 at 05:51 PM

Hi all,
I will be going to the ring this summer and will be using crash hats. I want to get a intercom that we can use and talk through. Also I want to have my phone plugged in so I can play music answer my phone.

I have seen this:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Motorcycle-Helmet-Intercom-2-Way-Headset-Mic-Ipod-MP3_W0QQitemZ170458646787QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Motorcycle_Parts?hash=item27b02 08903

It seem cheap and not water proof. Also with only 2 X AAA bats it will not be that load. Has any one used one of these. What do other people use?

Thanks

i have one of the ebay ones, but have not used it in anger as waiting for a new helmet to arrive.
Trying it out i am not sure how easly the ear pieces will stay in, might have to use tape over ears to hold them in.
I have purchassed a second hand autocom one, these are considered as the best there is as it gets fitted to the helmet inards.
You can get various ones that can take music, and also connect to a pit radio that we intend to use it for on the endurance event at Malory Park in May.

I got some of the ebay ones bout 2 months ago, work ok up to about 40 -50 mph,just not loud enough, also got interference at speed,no problems with earphones staying in ,although my lids a bit tight!

That OMP is a nice bit of kit and the sort of thing I was originally looking at but I really want a phone input which the bike ones have. Any other suggestions?

I wont get the flea bay one due to the above crap review!
