Crazy battery life
I use for mostly music while commuting, but sometimes to intercom. Battery life is wild. The one time I kept track, I went over 2000 miles without charging. Music sound quality is decent, better than my old cheap Sena. Good value.

Great value on these. I'm not looking for super long range group chat capability (I usually ride to get away from people!), just want a solid, reliable link to my phone and occasional passenger with good sound quality and long battery life. This works perfectly for that. It's like my trusty old wired Autocom has been reborn.
Volume isn't that great
Does exactly what it is supposed to do.
It won't bluetooth connect to my android phone flip 3.
Pros: Long battery life... always a good thing. Quick to recharge.<br />USB-C... I can't believe they still sell products with the horrible micro-USB. The sound is pretty clear, but I mostly only use it for turn-by-turn directions. The LCD screen gives you some feedback about charging level.<br /><br />Cons: Extremely short distance for bluetooth connectivity with another rider. The plus and minus buttons are very hard to feel if you're wearing riding gloves. The app could be better. Unit sas a noticeable tendency to fall out of its mount. You will need to glue them together to be really secure.
