It serves the purpose. Clear sound. Highly recommended. Read more

This is my first helmet intercom, so I don't have anything to compare it with, but I did a lot of research before buying and the FX8 really stood out as a great value - and I must agree! Sound: The audio was a little fuzzy, but at least the volume is loud enough to hear, even when doing 70mph on a noisy motorcycle, and the person I was talking to could barely tell I was going fast. Ease of use: The set up is not very intuitive - YOU WILL NEED THE MANUAL - and luckily mine came with a copy because I can't find it online anywhere. So, I scanned a copy and shared it here. You're welcome. I had misplaced mine and tried using a youtube video to pair the intercom, but it didn't help much and I'm not sure how I actually got them to pair up. Without the manual, you'll never figure this thing out. But at least the buttons are all easy to press - even while wearing gloves - and I really like that the volume is a knob instead of a button. Also, the 2nd time I went to use it, the bluetooth auto connected to my phone and the FM radio was simple to use (once I found my manual to read) Read more

I read some good reviews on this product so thought I would give it a go. I was immediately concerned as soon as I opened the box. One of the headsets had some dodgy looking wiring. It didn't look broken as it was mainly the outer insulation that was too short in one part leaving the very thin internal wires exposed. Fitting the devices to the helmets wasn't so difficult, just a bit fiddly and the different combinations of microphones, headphones and mounts was good. Pairing to each other (two FX8's) was simple as was pairing to the mobile phone. Haven't tried to connect to other intercoms. The sound quality is very, very 'tinny' and cheap sounding whether listening to music or voice through intercom. Not a deal breaker given the price, but it gets worse from here on. The intercom only really works when stationary!! When moving I could only manage to pick out one word in every ten or so my daughter was saying and she was sitting on the same bike as me! It's not because of wind noise, it just keeps breaking up / dropping out although my daughter told me that she could hear me so maybe there is a problem with just one of them. The radio was the same. Every several minutes it would just cut out from anywhere between 10 to 30 seconds before coming back on. The headphones are hard-wired into the mount which is a terrible idea you will have to buy a whole new mount when the wiring fails. The plug that covers the charging port is all but completely useless!! It just constantly falls out which if you ride in the rain or get caught in the rain would be a real concern. Lastly, don't be fooled by Fodsports flash website and their promises of great service. Could not be further from the truth. Good luck if you need to contact them. They may reply once or twice, then they just completely ignore any further emails. I've tried to get this working by trying different things I have read, but nothing has helped. I'd be prepared to try another set hoping mine was just a bad unit, but as of the time of writing this, I am returning them to Amazon, who, by the way made the return very simple (the return has not been fully completed yet).

So far so good. I haven't taken it on the highway much but in general day to day use it work great. It sounds greats, not to over powering that you can't hear a car horn or emergency sirens. Controls are super easy to use even with gloves on while riding. Answer, ignoring and ending calls are easy plus my voice is not distorted (I use the soft mic in a full face helmet). Voice controls are good though I have only used it a few times. You do have to use the prompt button for each command but it hasn't been an issue thus far. Right now I am just using the clip-on feature rather than sticking it right to the helmet. Seems to be holding up but again have been on the highway a whole lot yet. FM radio works just fine. No complaints. Will update if anything changes! Read more

The unit appears very good. Easy to operate, Bluetooth connected easily, clear voice over phone and music. Waterproof feature excellent. Only had a couple a weeks but cannot fault yet. Read more
