melly 0 Posted November 22, 2014 Hi all, opinions/advice please.Just got back from the NEC bike show and looked at a system from Maxco. Its a Bluetooth hand free wireless free communication. It uses a vibration driver using the helmet shell to create a 3D audio inside the helmet. Did try it out at the show, as best you can and it certainly seemed to work. The kit is secured to the helmet on the outside by magnet and clip - seemed secure enough and obviously they say it is. the microphone fits inside the cheek padding of the helmet.Retails at £225 for rider-pillion kit - not sure how that relates to other pieces of kit. I have to say I was very impressed, but wondered if anyone had used it or heard reviews, good or bad.Most of the time its not a problem not communicating (the peace and quiet can be quite nice actually ) but would be good on long journeys, like the trip to Scotland we are planning next year.http://www.maxco.co/product/d01-1-twin-pack-rider-pillion/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

melly 0 Posted November 22, 2014 You can get bike - bike kits which I believe have more range but I could be wrong. We were specifically looking at bike - pillion kits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

obalanga 0 Posted February 15, 2015 wow, i have been looking for transducer based equipment for a while. Maybe something that goes around your throat like what special forces use. How clear or loud would you say it was? I wish I could find a place that demos it. I was about to get a scala rider g9x but I will try and find out more about this.
