[@EEEBA1]

I really appreciate (and I'm sure many others do as well) how you openly said "If you buy this using my link I will make some $" It makes me wanna buy the product just because of the fact that you are open and honest even though I have no use for it. Thank you for your honesty.

[@swojtowicz]

ordering 3 of these - thank you for keeping your review relatively short and to the point.

[@davidnieto4638]

Great review! Can't wait to see more!

[@artisan4797]

Damn! Love the honesty at the beginning. Good review, and I think you hit it on the head with this com. Using it as a secondary com for a passenger sounds pretty good.

[@zoozoo3955]

Will this also connect with sena and other intercoms ?

[@forcom5]

I've been meaning to get something of the sort for the longest while now. I feel left out without a communicator. Thanks for pushing me over the edge, Yam! :D

[@emueller93]

Ordered one because you can't beat that price and I really needed s BT communicator, thanks Yam, keep up the good content

[@RenegadeRCFPV]

great video yammie! I've been looking for a cheap alternative, you know because I'm a baller on a budget 😂 keep up the good work brother!

[@LJawz]

Thanks for the review, I'm about to purchase one and gave the link to the video to some friends i ride with.

[@fabianperez6518]

Awesome vid man I honestly would watch more product reviews. and the piano music makes me feel like I am of a higher class love it! time to bust out the wine and cheese

[@trevormorton8415]

I seen other youtuber's do reviews on some stuff from Gearbest but i was never really sold on it. After watching your videos for a while and then seeing you recommend something from, them i figured i would give it a try. Just ordered one to Canada. Thanks for the review.

[@LtFoodstamp]

I have been waiting for something good like this in this price range! Thanks Yammie!

[@LtFoodstamp]

Just ordered 2! My girl is going to love it!

[@joewest343]

I bought this about 4 months ago and I love it! The biggest thing for me is the FM radio. At first I was like "Oh, that's a cool feature I guess but I probably won't ever use it." I was wrong, I use the radio pretty much every time I ride. Audio can be a little quiet for highway speeds if you have a windy dual sport helmet such as myself but I can still hear it. I used the velcro mount and so mine comes right off to charge separate from my helmet. Intercom between two of these is also excellent. I convinced a friend to get the same one and we were shocked how much of the wind and engine noise it reduced. This device cannot however have you talking to three people. Only two people can talk at a time. If this is not a problem for you I would very highly suggest this communicator for everyday use or long trips. Yammie hit a lot of the points, I just wanted to second his opinions.

[@Broito]

Great info!

[@zerouzer]

hi. if im only interested in playing mp3 through my phone at highway speeds, is it good enough? i usually have my earplugs in so i assume itd have to be at least a little loud

[@joewest343]

zerouzer I haven't had any problems, It depends on your bike, your helmet, and your ability to hear!

[@_Zaid]

At 70-80mph the music is audible with earplugs although not particularly loud or crisp. Works fine for background music, not so well for podcasts or talk radio. It really shines in 10-40mph traffic! It makes the slow parts of my commute much more bearable.

[@way240]

Have you happened to figure out a way to make it louder? I'm having trouble with the audio as well.

[@rickmister01]

GOT MINE! Awesome review BTW, I really needed something for my helmet

[@alanbai8294]

Thanks man. This will be great for my passenger helmet to work with my current Sena Smh10

[@IronicRebound]

great review, looks like an awesome low budget option

[@fredthebarber]

I bought this, and it works great! Thanks for the tip!

[@tylermasterson7012]

Those FAQ's though. Well done sir, well done!

[@WiFisWorld1]

I was really hoping for some video footage from your track day but I like the reviews idea. Lots of moto vloggers do reviews but idk, maybe its because you seem to not give a damn what anyone thinks that makes you seem the most honest and unbiased moto vlogger

[@WiFisWorld1]

Looking forward to it bro

[@kennorman3864]

And I was JUST about to buy Senas that I can't afford. Nice timing Yammie. Just bought 2 and, of course, made sure to use your link. You're the best! I'm also going to be getting an FZ-09 soon, which you may or may not have helped influence.

[@SteveSalstrand]

Wow, 200+ people are following your link and you JUST posted it. Congrats to you!

[@SteveSalstrand]

If you take the link that you posted (a Goo.gl link) and add the plus sign '+' to the end like so (goo.gl/Jttob2+) it gives you analytics on the link. I love Goo.gl shortlinks for that.

[@Hoggdoc1946]

I have this unit and overall am very pleased with it’s performance. As with any helmet mounted speaker system the quality of sound you get has a lot to do with the placement of the speakers in relationship to your ears. The closer you can place the speakers to the ear the better. For best overall sound make sure speakers actually touching your ears and aligned with the ear canal as close as possible. If I have a issue with the design it has to do with the size and placement of the volume controls. They are close together, and very hard to find and use with heavy gloves on. This controls also serve multiple purposes, volume, song change, and pause/start music functions. Another feature missing is the ability to voice control my iPhone to ask Siri to do things like selecting someone from my contacts to call, requisition directions via maps or starting and stoping music play hands free. Also when I paired the intercom to my buddies Sena unit, I could not find a way for me to start an intercom session. If the Sena started the intercom session all worked very well, but I had no control of the intercom at all. So between the lack of ability to voice control your phone functions and the total lack of control of the intercom sessions if paired to different brand unit make this a total fail in my book. If you ride solo and never want to communicate with riders with other brands of Blue Communicators or voice control your phone then go for it.

[@keithhall1811]

Very well done, I have a pair of these coming this week my hopes are that it will allow my wife and I to speak with one another as we ride two up.

[@tommyrogers7364]

how is the intercom function supposed​ to work?? is the "intercom" simply a phone call? the devices are pared, the phones are pared , but I haven't found anything that tells me how the intercom works

[@SMU_3L]

I wish I had seen this about 12 hours ago, when I splashed out on a 20s. Oh well, still watched the video and enjoyed it, well done man

[@turtlepowersf]

StreetTripleSam you made the right choice anyway.

[@amelh.7870]

Great review. Might have been a good idea to sample the mic audio for the viewers

[@AmenCornerRider]

Well done, fair & balanced review. Do you use an external mic with your set up for vlogs? I purchased the Sena bluetooth audio pack (which slaps onto the back of the gopro). Wondering if you use it and have had any problems with it. Thanks.

[@rclines001]

I got myself one of these for xmas and been riding with it since mid January. Was great till this last week the main port on the device(where the charger and headset plug in) started acting up and then stopped working. Other than that, it's been fine. Voice calls are very good even at high speed. I have both a quiet sport bike and a loud dual pipe cruiser. I hear people loud and clear. People I have talked to can't hear any back ground noise when I'm on the sport bike. When I'm on the cruiser they can hear the pipes in the background, but it's only 1/4 the volume of my voice. For $40, I just ordered it again. Can't beat that price.

[@gbriar]

How did you get the Tascam DR-05 to work; plugged mine in but when I test it I can hardly hear the playback. Any input would be useful. Cheers.

[@ninjaridercom]

Nice video. I personally use a Uclear unit. It was a free sweetener the seller threw in when I bought my bike. I just use it to listen to music while I ride. I wear an Icon Alliance dark too. The speakers are kind of thick, buy the mic is wireless and built into the speakers.

[@Shimmoda]

Well it definitely looks good compared to the Sena but I've got the 20s and love it!

[@SwankyCatProductions]

So I could connect this to my phone via Bluetooth for music and communicate with a riding buddy at the same time? How are the speakers for music audio?

[@baltsosser]

AM and FM that is useful when the sign says tune to AM ___ for current traffic conditions. I have found the Sena 20S listed online at $175 recently, but still the cost difference is pretty significant.

[@starkey75]

it definitely does look nice, the orange really makes it look good, since I'm only interested in a hands free for my phone, and background music, this is easily the best, considering price,

[@TonyKitchen471]

Great Review thanks

[@tiagodumont4422]

I've had THREE of these and they all die the same. You start by losing your mic, then audio on one side, then the other. The fault lies with a small piece in the plug that moves ever so slightly. I've learnt how to open them and repair it but it's a major hassle. I've literally glued it with super glue last time but it just started failing again today.

[@rickcruz1976]

Thanks for doing this video Yammie! I bought one through your link. It's word for word what I was looking for. I needed a communicator for my gf's helmet and I was budgeting for another Sena... until Yammie saved the day!!! Awesome sauce my brother.

[@rickcruz1976]

Ok, this just came in today and I'm having a hard time getting it to pair with the Sena. How did you get yours to work?

[@scottsmith5633]

I'm having the same issue. Can you give us some feedback Yammie?

[@yaskingslay]

Just ordered mine today! Thanks Yammie! I will update once I receive them. Everyone these are on a flash sale for $31.00 free shipping.

[@VictorHernandez-ze3hl]

did you get them

[@MahipalYadavmahii]

Got the same device from "gearbest.com". Had it for 6 months only. One issue that no one addresses is that charging and headphone-mic jack port is common. after repeated charging cycles the charging um headphone-mic got deteriorated. I have read, seen multiple reviews for this device, but not even a single person mentioned this problem. What should I conclude from that(were those reviews paid?). One thing I must admit is that the quality of the sound during calls is as good as any other branded Bluetooth intercom. at 60mph(~100 kmph), the person i was talking to couldn't tell that i was on a bike. But don't expect audiophile quality for listening your favorite music. audio quality of songs being played was even worse to some of the basic(generic) headphones. You cant even tell if the mids are being played on it. Battery life is good. A month before throwing it into the garbage (before the charging/headphone jack deteriorated because of repeated insertion and removal of charging and headphone-mic cable ), I played songs for 4 continuous hours before the battery died. My conclusion is that this is a purpose built device made primarily for using you phone to make and take calls while riding. Other then that don't expect anything from it. And at they price at which they are being offered, its enough for them. But my point is that the device is not good if it lasts only for short period of time. most of the e-commerce companies are getting the same device from Chinese manufacturers. Who ever made this device and other devices like this, should have added separate ports for charging and headphone connection. That's the main and my only gripe with this device. Ever since I have been searching for other Bluetooth intercom device like this which is waterproof and has separate ports for charging and headphone connection, but haven't found anything yet. Every other china made Bluetooth intercom is based on the same concept

[@Yowzoe]

Thanks for the review. Have you found an alternative China-made BT intercom that works a bit better?

[@cherrypeng5558]

www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01N3Z5WUS Hope it can help you.

[@SparkShredder]

Mahipal Yadav agreed man! I am facing the same problem. I dont know if i should get another one or not. Is this compatible with the Sena? While using intercom?

[@timcarter5982]

Hey, Yammi. What kind of helmet did you secure this too? Do you know if it would fit well on an Airmada?

[@Raez_XL]

Most underrated channel on KZbin

[@RiderObvious]

Only question I still have.... Will it communicate with a Sena, or only another BTS2?

[@Sanosuke30001]

Link no longer works, but still purchased because of your review. Thanks Yammie

[@Beyond2Wheels]

Question, I have another offbrand communicator, unfortunately although it states it has 3 way pairing, you are only able to talk to one person at a time. Is that your experience with this one?

[@Ray-Koto-McLellan]

just ordered this and the eleocam using your code so moola to you man! and will see how it works. and I figured out why you couldn't pull it off.... you bolted it to the helmet right? instead of the velcro pads?

[@sandyshelton5]

When you paired with your SMH10, did you have to pair in Universal Intercom mode?

[@endlessjourney1]

I'll give it a shot!

[@BenalRida]

I am currently using another cheap Chinese headset called FREEDCOM where I can use the Bluetooth audio and input in my Garmin Virb Ultra 30 without the need of any cables. I hate cables. Can I do this the same way with this headset?

[@keith_hudson]

Just bought this. They have since made some nice changes. The speakers and mic looks much cleaner and streamline. The micro USB has since been replaced with USB C. Speakers sound amazing at this price point and the mic sounds great still.

[@johnroybal933]

What's the price like ??

[@MarceloXQ6BQ]

Hi Yammie, have you used the Sena SR-10 adapter? Would it be possible to connect this BT-S2 unit to the Sena SR-10? (I want to use them with a 2-way radio). Or could you suggest an alternative to do that? Thanks!

[@richardhead8826]

I love my Scala. It has it all :D

[@vinaykashya]

Have Been Using this communicator for about 3 months now. Has surpassed my expectations especially during highway rides. The voice and music is pretty clear and audible upto 85-90 mph. My only gripe is that only similar devices can be paired. Will not connect to a sena or other communicators. Also, haven't has the chance to test the waterproofing on the build. But I don't think that would be necessary for 110 degree az weather. All in all, definitely worth way more than its cost.

[@vinaykashya]

It did? That's awesome :) ! Will try it again with some patience this time.

[@richmccallable]

I managed to amply the sound by taking a cheap pair of soft earmuffs, from an old pair headphones Beats style, and connecting them over the speakers. They channel the noise straight to my ears and are pretty loud afterwards.

[@fattymcgee123]

helmet needs more stickers

[@ChristopherC207]

Quick question: no issues pairing this with a Sena in intercom mode? If so, was it a relatively painless procedure?

[@Pscribbled]

Why didn't you let us listen to a sample of the audio?

[@jeremiahharrold9450]

i have the same helmet n love it i was just wondering hows the wind noise with the gopro n sena or even the new one u just tested

[@nicu0988d]

can you listen to mp3s from your phone and have a conversation ? (auto pause/mute while talking ? )

[@coolguy79jeffrey]

have you tried sena 10s or 20s? I am not sure if I should get sena, I own this BT-S2, the sound is ok, but I am not sure if Sena sound will be louder a not. as the speaker for the BT-S2 30mm compared to Sena 20S 39mm.

[@JamesWoolfordDesign]

Hi, when connected to bluetooth can you hold the button down and use siri/google assistant such as "Call dad" or "Play music" etc? Basically does it work with a voice command

[@johnhenderson548]

I have been using this for around 8 months now and I think it's great value, I got two, for me and my mate, audio is great and communication has not been an issue. I use it for audio every day for my commute to work, just pairing it with my s5. only fault I have is the charging cable is a unique plug, I wish it had a standard mini USB. but for the price.. it's great!!

[@Fredward1986]

Have your units been reliable? One of mine stopped charging a couple of weeks in. Wondering if I replace it or don't bother.

[@johnhenderson548]

Hi, The audio plug has went dodgy last week, it still charges fine but the audio would stop and then i'd wiggle the plug around (as it connects to the unit) and the audio would come back, i'd let go and it cuts out again.. I plan on taking it to an electronics repair shop, probably dry solder on the connections. a week without music so far.. =(

[@lightninsadventures2692]

I just bought a bts2 about 6 weeks ago on Amazon. Worked great and sounded amazing(like, I couldn't imagine getting better sound out of a more expensive helmet Bluetooth setup). Now, at just 6 weeks old, it quit working. Will not turn on. I've tried charging it for over 12 hours and the charging light comes on like normal, but when I press and hold the button to power the unit on, I get nothing. And it's past the date for me to return it. I guess I will look into sena or cardo this next go around. Really hated that it quit working, because when it was, it was great.

[@dicer4683]

I bought one... Do you know if you can use the intercom while using a GPS?

[@gardenstateflatlandb]

$57 now on gearbest. Seen a slew of identical Chinese branded units on Amazon in the $40 range and as low as $20 on eBay. Doubt I'll buy one, but in case anyone is wondering there's a ton of these with different names and highly fluctuating prices.

[@DevinWolfe]

Just ordered a pair through your link to try out. Your affiliate link defaults to the EU plug, but when I switched to the US plug the "Promo ends in .... " text disappears. Hope you get credit for my order!

[@brianpeterson8769]

I just got one of these and the volume isn't loud at all? Am I doing something wrong. Followed all instructions both phone and device are all the way up. And I can barely hear it when my bike is running. And tips

[@roxx3r245]

One thing I liked about the Sena is their mobile app. The BTS2 doesn't have anything comparable, correct?

[@beletix4503]

It is good but the headphone/charging port starts to break down so you sometimes need to wobble it a little bit. But still for the price is worth to buy use for a season and buy a new one.

[@tonyk7899]

Was the Eu and US plug difference having to do with the wall outlet plug? I'm assuming i want the U.S. plug?

[@gustavpettersson3856]

Tony Krause the us wallplug/outlet is two flat metal pieces while the eu one has two round metalpieces

[@DaytonaDays]

You should do more reviews dude 👍🏼

[@MarylandWearAndCarry]

How do you switch between riders if you are riding with 3 people and can only link between 2 at a time? Thanks, Dave

[@RuslanBabich]

How did you pair it with Sena? I just bought one and it doesn't want to pair with mine Sena 20s.

[@pd1jdw630]

Do still use the sena today? Ore do you use something else by now. I’m looking for a pair for me and my YL.

[@chiragojha7311]

Hey, These guys have launched new version BT-S3 now. You may consider adding an affiliate link to that as well.

[@unintentionalsquid1258]

When I click your link it goes to the option with the EU Plug. I am guessing it is the type of plug to go to the power outlet right? I want to get 2 US Plug versions but I am not sure if the affiliate link will work if I change it over to the US plug. Any idea?

[@unintentionalsquid1258]

Awesome! Thanks.

[@lukaszM46]

is this a standalone solution to communicate? if i buy two of these units can they talk with teach other like walkie-talkies, or do I connect to a phone and then actually call the other person through my phone?

[@seinfeld11123]

first of all. THANKS for disclosing the financial ties you had to this review. not a lot of ppl would. I have tried to educate many on this they all think it doesnt matter. well the FTC is coming down HARD on youtube stuff like that. I even told a chilly Cat that he should be disclosing his financial ties to a certain moto brand, yet he doesnt few questions abt this product broski. does it pair with a Sena? or will it only pair with the same communicator? and second it actually looks nicer and smaller. am I correct there? thanks bro!

[@DustyRobertson]

Does it have any features like an ambient mode or something like that ?

[@MotoDrift650]

Hi, Does this intercom connects Sena device???

[@cbjohannesen6008]

do you know? womdering

[@jamielobo855]

Yes, the Sena connects to this VIA Sena's Universal Pairing

[@GamerGetsFIT]

how do they do in the rain.. are you supposed to take them off?

[@matt6705]

Will the intercom connect to a Sena or only to another one of the same type?

[@DJMotoVlogs]

Problem with the budget intercom systems is volume on the highway. I'm not bashing them, they are great for what you pay for and I used one for over an year it was dead reliable and never gave me a problem. I have a Sena now and honestly it's worth the extra money you would pay. My advice is to pick up a used sena and pick up one of these as a cheap second unit like Yammi said for a passenger.

[@DatSuspect]

I ordered it right now... giving it a chance... hope I get to love it... enjoy ur percentage lol

[@thumpertorque_]

I know it's an old comment but how was it?

[@Hapfletcher]

can you use earbuds in place of the speakers?? 3.5 plug?

[@turtlepowersf]

can someone tell me what communicator has the best speakers for music? music would be the primary function for me and amswering phone calls is 2nd.

[@sierrafoxtrotgolf3638]

I'm going to do an 18 hour ride shortly. You talked about charging but can I charge this while riding should die in route with a USB??

[@robertocardozojr]

Hey Yammie I've watched alot of your videos and such, but I've been trying to find a mirrored face shield, like the one you have. Hopefully you can help me out?

[@v-rodmuscle9221]

Hi , I see that nobody ask this....I have a very loud bike and BT-S2 headset is useless, I can't hear anything... The problem is that BT-S2 doesn't have classic micro USB port, co I can't use any gadget to connect normal 3,5 mm in ear headphones with micro USB extension.. Because BT-S2 have some strange micro USB port. Also I can't find some in ear headsetswith the extension that is existing in BT-S2.. Do you have some idea about this issue? Thanks!

[@John_Ridley]

It has AM radio? I have not seen that advertised elsewhere. That'd be good for baseball games around here.

[@GeorgiaGrowGuy]

It looks like the bottom port is exposed to the elements, is that correct?

[@bubbaplays3799]

Can I use the aux cable and the mic to record 2 mics at the same time?

[@christopherg9806]

Not only do you give a full disclosure (I respect your honesty), you don't ramble like so many other vloggers. I was losing my mind listening to another guy (PstnHead?) who just blathered aimlessly. You come across as better organized and you speak quickly enough that I'm not getting bored waiting for the essential information.

[@adosq]

Do you have some video(motovlog) with voice from BT-S2? I want to hear how it sounds when you riding, i want it for ride with my girlfriend and for motovlogs.

[@rohitdadwal3399]

Is it only used for communicating ?

[@slottedpig2253]

Do a review on the BTS3!

[@Andrew-sj2dm]

Stupid question but does the radio use bluetooth? I would love to use one of these but BT fries my brain cant use it

[@VeritasEtAequitas]

I also liked PistnRods review. It was very honest. It takes real, honest, constructive criticism to properly review and hopefully improve a product. Also, he didn't shill.

[@n300zx931]

Will this communicate with sena and cardo for a passenger communicator?

[@DeanGuilberry2]

Too many things not covered to compare. Does it do voice commands? Can you talk with all three people on intercom at the same time? Noise canceling? Do you have to Push to Talk like.on some cheap communicators? Are replacement parts available? Vendor support? I use a Sena 10R. It is super low profile and small with three easy to locate buttons. That thing (and the SMH10) is huge. I only ride dirt bikes. That big of unit would likely get ripped off of my helmet when cutting through trees and face slappers. I will stick with the Sena low profile units.

[@raulpablocesarcuentasbarba6411]

Good and Honest review.. (y)

[@Chris-hw4mq]

Did you return the firefly 6S. Thinking of getting one
