LEXIN B4FM Unboxing Bluetooth headset Helmet installation Review (Helmet button and 3.5mm jack)

[@marvinecheverria8445]

Better video than the manufacturer video. Thanks so much!

[@cwalters6464]

Great vid thanks! I'm buying a 3 pack for my boys and me when we ride atv. The loud volume ability will be good for our noisy machines and the moisture resistance should be a plus as well.

[@mikeb6185]

Very useful video - covered just about everything! I’ll be ordering !

[@JohnVHLife]

Excellent! I appreciate the feedback! Link in the description :)

[@pikkuniilo]

Greetings from Finland! I just installed this, my first helmet interphone and the video was very helpful. Thank you!

[@JohnVHLife]

That’s great! Thanks!

[@emmanuellicup]

This intercom was different on the other video that I've seen...i wish too have one set of this in the future... Keep it up... Already parked here... Ride safe... God bless

[@JohnVHLife]

Thanks so much!

[@MrMeatball052]

I hope you are able to do a long term follow up review. I’m really curious to know how it’ll be after a year. Great review though. Thanks for this!

[@JohnVHLife]

Appreciate it, I use it every time I ride, and so far Im happy with it, battery life is awesome, easy to use, I made a phone call on it the other day, it worked fine for that too.

[@MrMeatball052]

JohnVH Life Thats great. I’m looking at taking my 7 year old out soon and with him being so young I’d really like to be able to talk to him. My wife also rides with me, but I hear her voice enough so if she wants to talk to me she can buy her own 🤣

[@JohnVHLife]

@@MrMeatball052 HAHA! I have yet to put one on my sons helmet, which was my original plan, but I dont see why it wouldnt work great, just make the 'call' between the two before taking off and your good to go!

[@MrMeatball052]

JohnVH Life If you play music, will it play through both or just the one the phones paired to?

[@JohnVHLife]

@@MrMeatball052 Each unit will play its own music, your either talking to eachother, or listening to your own music, not both at the same time.

[@TheClosetBuilder]

Excellent video. Thank you very much!

[@JohnVHLife]

Thank you!

[@TheLeftwing71]

Thanks for the link to the speakers.

[@JohnVHLife]

Thank you!

[@phillefoil5969]

Is the speaker and mic water resistant also? Ie.. can this be used for Watersports?

[@IIghostu]

Very helpful. Thank you

[@JohnVHLife]

So glad!

[@thelongdaysofwheeling124]

Mine should be landing tomorrow from Amazon. Bought two 2 packs for wheeling with the family. Should be a game changer for ride with friends and family. Can't wait.

[@babb101]

How did you get on pairing all 4 units together? was it easy? is the sound quality as good as it is with only 2 units?

[@thelongdaysofwheeling124]

@@babb101 That's the biggest downfall. Your two bridge units sound great. Your next two unit tie to one each of the bridge units. So my daughter will tie to my wife and my son ties to me. I hear him great an my wife great. Hearing my daughter is pretty poor.

[@babb101]

@@thelongdaysofwheeling124 thanks for taking the time to reply. I thought that might be the case. I've gone ahead and bought 4, will be testing them out next week! It does say for optimal performance you should ride in the order of connection so units 1-2-3-4 should ride in formation 1-2-3-4, and that units 2-3 (bridges) should keep "within the stated intercom range"...did you do this and still experience poor sound?

[@thelongdaysofwheeling124]

@@babb101 We actually have two machines, a two up ATV and a 2 seat SxS...so wife and I as bridges, one on each machine...and then daughter tied to her and son tie to me. That way I can hear wife and son just great. Wife and hear me and daughter well. If we swap them out so that we end up with both bridge on the same machine, they're useless. So other than that one issue, I do think they are great. I do wish range was a little better in wooded areas. But it's not often we get too far apart. And it's easy to tell if the bridges are getting to that threshold as there starts to be some constant static on the line so to speak. So lead driver just slows down a tad till the rear driver catches up and the static is gone. On a straight stretch, that's a long ways off in the distance. But in wooded areas it's likely 25% of that straight line distance. Let us know how it works out for you or if you find any tricks.

[@tobylopez445]

very nice video sir.

[@JohnVHLife]

Thank you!

[@selli85killa]

Thx Mr!! Great video

[@JohnVHLife]

Glad you liked it!

[@arielban1]

Thank you for doing the video. How are you liking this intercomm? My only concern is if my partner wants to continually talk, does the intercomm button always have to be pressed to initiate communicatoin? Can the intercom remain activated? thank you

[@JohnVHLife]

You only hit the intercom button to connect the/start the call. It stays connected until you push the button again to end the call

[@JohnVHLife]

And I really like it. I use it every time I ride. Battery life is great.

[@Lonnie91a]

Title is wrong. You have the Lexin LX-B4FM. The new version is the Lexin B4FM (without the LX) and has 10 riders and Bluetooth 5.0. Button functions are completely different also for pairing.

[@golf1diesel]

Hi. I need a bluetooth intercomm for my fz6S. I mainly need it so I can hear the sat nav while riding on the motorway at higher speeds. Is this lexin good enough sound quality wise? How is it at around 120 kmh? (75 mph) Any other recommendations? Don't want to really spend a lot as I still need to purchase a sat nav. But is the FT4 /pro worth it over b4fm?

[@JohnVHLife]

This is the only unit Ive ever played with, I can hear it on my harley no problem, sound isnt as good as being in a car, but its easily hearable to me

[@golf1diesel]

@@JohnVHLife thanks for your input,John

[@barrywolf7541]

How strong is the spring clip? I wouldn't be using the glue on clip. I'm afraid about the unit falling off the helmet with the spring clip!

[@JohnVHLife]

It’s been solid. It flips on very well

[@ElevationATV]

I've been looking at these for a bit. It seems like most of the videos they are easy to use and affordable. It's been over a year since you uploaded this video, how are they holding up for you?

[@mello84]

I bought the set with two lexin B4FM, but only one device is connecting to the cell phone, and the other doesn't connect to the cell phone and I can't pair with the other device. Has anyone had this problem?

[@electrodo325]

Se puede escuchar música y hablar? O tienes que tocar botones para cambiar

[@JohnVHLife]

Not at the same time, no.

[@immutableboss9123]

Does it still work good? How would you rate the sound quality, range and microphone now? Has any of it got worse or about the same?

[@JohnVHLife]

Yep, still works great! Sounds quality is not as good as sitting in your car, at all, for me, its about having some background music to enjoy on my rides.. Mic works fine, Ive made calls and the people said it sounded good. So thats all I know. Nothing has gotten worse at all.

[@geedee4]

great info 🙌

[@JohnVHLife]

Thanks!

[@ericc8895]

I have the newer model of these but the speakers are still not very good. My question is, how can I upgrade to a better speaker but not lose the communication feature? I see I can buy good speakers but they do not have the wire coming off of them to plug the microphone speaker into

[@keithchan6561]

You can buy the cardo JBL speaker on its own, bit pricey but it works

[@ericc8895]

@@keithchan6561 that will not allow me to keep the microphone speaker. Those jbl are speakers only with no extra wire coming off of them to keep my microphone. The jbl are also a regular phone jack. The lexin take a USB type C

[@jahnbell8906]

Thanks mate for this video help me to pair my new one..do you still wear ear plug for wind noise when riding and using this intercom? Or You dont use earplug?..

[@JohnVHLife]

Long rides I’ll wear earplugs. Otherwise no

[@jahnbell8906]

JohnVH Life i already used mine but i dont know why the Siri doesn’t work on intercom mic.? Do you have any idea? i already paired with my phone & the speakers are loud even at 85kph..thanks

[@omarmahjne9860]

how good is the sound and the mic?

[@JohnVHLife]

Sound is ok. Mic seems to work fine. I’ve only made calls on accident but they said it sounded fine. Haha.

[@searcam01]

Great video! Just got one question, how long does the battery last?

[@JohnVHLife]

I have not timed it in hours, but it lasts a long time!

[@a1pestservice]

Hi, thanks for your review, would you still recommend these intercoms, or is there something else you would recommend now ? Also, does the intercom automatically turn the volume up when you go faster on the bike, when there is more wind noise ? Many thanks.

[@JohnVHLife]

I use them every time I ride my bike, mainly to listen to music, but Im happy with them.

[@ut1004bp]

Ok, hard to cover all questions, but you didnt test out the Comm with the other unit? When you play music from your phone to your headset, does it also continuously transmitt the same music to the 2nd unit/rider or does the other rider have to pair up with their own bluetooth player? Or do or can you pair up with one bluetooth player for both? What is the range before crackeling or dropout?

[@JohnVHLife]

I have, the com works fine with the other unit. No, each unit has to play its own music for each listener. I have not done a full range test unfortunately.

[@petert6105]

The upgraded version, the B4FM-X can share the music with other unit, the simple B4FM can't.

[@PavanPatel23]

Did you figure out what those little foam pieces are for? Are they actually spacers? Manual doesn’t seem to mention it

[@JohnVHLife]

I never did, and Ive never needed them either.

[@lollol-mg9cr]

will this connect on ejeas interphone and how's the sound quality with music?

[@JohnVHLife]

They arent the highest quality speakers, it connects to my phone.

[@mallyallygramps]

How do you like it now?

[@JohnVHLife]

I’m happy. I use it every time I ride.

[@rustytate123]

I assume once paired to your phone it can play youtube through the speakers?

[@JohnVHLife]

I suppose it would, never tried that.

[@goobamedia4064]

Can u use a half helmet with this. Or is it just full

[@JohnVHLife]

You bet! It will work.

[@classinick]

Did you find out if you can use navigation and play music simultaneously?

[@JohnVHLife]

The weather here has turned to crap, so I have not ridden or played with it. But I highly doubt its possible, and would lean towards no, since you cant call and listen to music either at the same time

[@classinick]

Would be nice if there's a small background music while having a chitchat with the others, nonetheless, great review! I'll be doing a review too but in Filipino lol

[@JohnVHLife]

@@classinick Agreed, the expensive ones maybe do it. Haha, awesome! Best of luck!

Not the same. But yes

[@hotcar103098]

I’ve had mine a little over a year thinking about upgrading. The unit is fantastic however the speakers are not good quality at loud volume or I could possibly have them mounted incorrectly. Anyone else having this problem?

[@JohnVHLife]

I think to have a speaker that flat, something has to be sacrificed, for me its just nice to have a background music instead of the wind drone

[@christiancole2569]

I heard really good things about the iasus xsound 3 speakers. They are kinda pricey at 120 for the speakers but they are better than the jbl helmet speakers and that speakers for itself.

Google assistant doesn't work on this as far as I can tell. I have one and it's very annoying. Hateful Edit: Actually, don't know exactly what settings on my phone i changed but seems to work ok with my Google pixel now.
