Motorcycle Helmet Bluetooth 5.0 Integrated New EPS FreedConn BM2-S Modular Flip Up Dual Visor Motorbike Helmet DOT FMVSS-218 Approved MP3 FM for Adults Men Women(Small, Matte Black)

I received this helmet last Monday, 1/13/20 and had it on the road trying it out the next day. After topping off the charge it took all of about a minute to pair it with my Garmin Zumo 550. I did not pair it with a phone as I never use a phone while I'm on the go. I'll check for and make calls at rest breaks. All the other tech functions worked as advertised, including the FM radio.Pro's- the modular "pop open" feature is really nice for getting the helmet on and off or for simply taking a drink without removing the helmet- the internal smoked visor is great as it can be pulled down when I turn into the sun and retracted when I get into a shaded area- I love the chin insert that keeps cold air from trickling up around my neck and with the built in neck wrap in my riding jacket, they keep drafts out of the helmet. However, I ride with a full windshield so I don't know if direct air stream will intrude around it.- I kept all the vents open the day I rode with the helmet on but as with most full coverage helmets I presume this one could tend to fog up. In that event it would be easy to pop up the outside clear visor to clear it up. Again I ride with a windshield so riding with this visor up is not a big deal for me- it took a minute or two to get used to the chin strap hook up but in the end it's a lot easier to fasten/unfasten with heavy winter gloves on than the old "loop the strap through the rings" method- the sizing was spot on for me. I measure for a medium, ordered a medium and it fits well, even for me who far prefers half helmets. But if you get it wrong the padding inserts provide the sizing, not the helmet. The vendor apparently is willing to provide free replacements to get it right.Cons- the lowering/raising of the internal smoked visor is pretty stiff when trying to operate it while riding with the lever on the left side of the helmet. I attribute that to newness and it's easy to open the clear visor and push the smoked visor up if need be- the speakers are very tinny with zero bass. I won't bother playing music off my Garmin with them. Their quality is far behind the speakers in my 15 year old Interphone F4 that I use in my half helmet. I've communicated with the vendor and they assure me they are looking at improvements, both hardware and software- the volume controls are tied into the FM radio controls with a rotary knob. The basic operation of these two functions is relatively simple but can be frustrating to deal with at 120kph in traffic. Hold the knob too long while trying to turn down the volume and you activate the FM radio. I would prefer the more common method of individual buttons for up/down volume controls.All in all I think this helmet provides excellent value for the cost. It'll make my cold weather riding much more pleasant. And since I don't buy helmets for their entertainment features I won't downgrade it for the cons I listed. Note: I haven't tried pairing it with other helmets yet as I don't often ride in groups. If I do I'll update this review with the results.

I typically do not do reviews for items but thought this was worthy of the effort. I purchased this helmet a week ago as an upgrade/replacement to one that is 5-years old and showing its age. I ride a Honda NC700 DCT with a full windscreen and am a freak about wind noise, my interest in this helmet is primarily listening to music via iPhone blue tooth and comfort. I have not tested phone call reception or intercom functions yet (I ride solo so will not likely use this function). First thing I noticed was the comfort of the helmet, as others had suggested, I opted for one size larger (XL) than my typical helmet size (L) and it fits perfectly. I have to say that I didn't even notice in the product description of the chin strap, it is padded and uses a push-ratchet sort of mechanism that is comfortable and easy on and off, no messing with the double DD rings or the after market quick release items. Overall the fit and finish of the helmet is great, all of the vents work well and the internal sun visor gives you a positive click when the visor goes up or down, and it is easily found and operated with gloves on. Operation of the blue tooth device was simple, pairing with my iPhone was easy, and I found the operation of the volume control was very straight forward with the wheel mechanism. I was using a Sena unit prior to this one and found it difficult while using gloves to find the right place to push for various functions, this helmet does not suffer those issues. Wind noise, I ride behind a windscreen so I don't know what the wind noise is like other than to say that I can clearly hear my music through the helmet speakers with the face shield in the fully open position at speeds of 60mph. Sound quality, on par with Sena, as with most helmet speaks the bass sound is lost and you get a lot of treble and this is the same for this helmet. I did not drop my rating since the price point for this helmet is nowhere near the high end, if I want high end sound I can re-wire higher end speakers for $50 - $100 dollars and still be better off than paying $400+ for the high end products.One of the reasons I needed to upgrade my helmet is that the visor in the old helmet is no longer in production. So a concern I had was whether this helmet has replacement visors, so I contacted them with that concern. They replied quickly and indicated that they do have replacement visors and that a recent customs issue created a short term supply problem that has been resolved. There seem to be only a few products currently out there that offer the functionality of this helmet around the $200 price range, so do your research but I'm happy with my decision for now.
