Big bang for the buck
My son and I love to go e-biking a lot where we often have to navigate public roads on the way to the trails. After some frustrating experiments with GMRS radios etc, I bought a pair of FX8 last year and could not be more happy with them. It makes our rides so much safer now that we can coordinate crossing roads and weaving through traffic without having to yell at each other or having to push a PTT button to talk and dealing with wires dangling off the helmets. The units installed nicely on our Giro full face mountain bike helmets within minutes. I used some electric tape to secure the wires inside the helmets, as they don't have a liner like a motorcycle helmet to tuck them behind. The audio is clear and intelligible even at speeds of sometimes over 40mph, despite the massive airflow through these bicycle helmets. Range is good and within my expectations for a low power microwave transmitter. If you need ranges beyond line of sight, you can pair your phones and use Siri or equivalent to call the other rider with the push of a button. Battery life is amazing. We often use them for 4-5 hour rides with the intercom active and it takes maybe 10-15 minutes to charge them back up right before the next ride. We've been caught in a downpour or two which didn't harm the headsets in the slightest. I recently bought a 3rd one for when my daughter joins us for a weekend greenway ride. The 3-way communication works just as well as peer to peer.My son dropped his helmet a few weeks ago which unfortunately landed right on the headset and broke the mounting plate on the base. Other than that, the radio doesn't even have scratch. After contacting Fodsports, they are sending me a replacement base in goodwill. I really couldn't be happier.

Great Item at a budget price. Setup was very easy and instructions are clear. Great sound from the speakers and the calls are crystal clear on both the sending and receiving side. Purchase this item and you will not be disappointed.

For the money can’t go wrong
I ordered these units for my father and I to use on our upcoming trip to Sturgis in August.As you have already probably seen , doesn’t come with instructions. There are plenty of installation videos on how to get it installed into your helmet. The clip was useless on my helmet so had to use the 3m sticky pad to mount. Seems to be doing great.The fx8 paired seamlessly to iPhone 13.I usually wear a half helmet but installed this in a modular helmet. At first I was super disappointed because I mounted the speakers in the factory determined speaker positions in the helmet. The sound was low and terrible! Turns out the speakers were too high and too sunken in. Speaker position is everything! Determine where the speakers need to be in relation to your ears inside your helmet first and then mount. Speakers attach via Velcro so re-mounting them was no problem. I had to purchase some additional velcro circles to build them up a bit to get closer to my ears. This was due to my helmet design but you may or may not have this issue. Once I got them positioned right, wow the sound was loud and impressive!Phone calls are surprisingly clear at 80mph + and the person on the other end can clearly hear me with little road noise! This is with my modular helmet open! I love this about the unit.After 30 days of owning it, and using it almost daily, I only have two disappointments.1- the comms function, which was my primary reason for purchasing it was sub-par. It doesn’t seem to auto connect/pair automatically to the other unit and when trying to use comm on the road the volume is not high and the mic noise cancelling doesn’t seem to work. I was hoping the talking clarity would be as good as a phone call but it just isn’t the case.2- voice command sucks - seems to only work when engine is off and it’s relatively quiet. You can double tap the “-“ button and trigger Siri voice activated commands but I would rather just say “ Hey, Siri” and it work…3- there is a rubber plug type cover that goes into the charging port that covers it and keeps it protected from the elements. Mine keeps popping out and won’t stay in. I am concerned that it could ruin the unit if it gets wet ….Well that leads me to the most impressive part of this. Fodsports customer service.The company checked in after I received my order and I informed them about my charge port cover. They sent me another unit 2 day shipping!! That is amazing customer service.For its small flaws I can’t see riding without it and I haven’t gone back to my half helmet yet. Just having the music alone when out on a ride makes this totally worth it to me. Battery life has been outstanding.I would buy again and I would definitely buy it again.If comms worked as good as it should it would have been 5 stars.

I recieved it in 3 days it arrived that is above service now days.
I haven't talked to other headset of the pair but the bluetooth is really excellent at high speeds clear and low speed I have to turn down the volume. That was 60 to 75 mph just to test it on am completely satisfied with the sound it is crystal clear I didnt turn it to full volume. This is a honest and I'm not making it up it it clear so far I am really satisfied the big knob works as they said I even raised my face shield to test it still loud I did even turn it up to max that was at 70 mph also just to see what it would sound like. I did a lot of reading about ever headset on amazon. I will put a review on Here after I try talking to a passenger or another rider. I'm impressed about how easy it was to set up the bluetooth and how easy it connected up to the phone it was instant and easy. I use spotify for music I think it will do as well on the phone and what ever I use. Believe me I'm 69 yrs old I ain't no dang computer guru. I dont know nothing about setting it up . It was that simple . I charged the battery I've used it 3 hrs and messed with it a couple hrs showing it off to my friends in my riding group. I havent had no indication the battery is weak. But I'm going to charge again and have it ready for the next ride. I'm about to mound the other unit on my wifes helment. And see how it works and how the talk back and forth and test a phone call in and out. I ain't got nothing to do with this company I'm just telling you how I'm pleased and the quality is great after the test run and using them. My brother is buying a pair of the same thing he has a real cheap single set that he hears good with but less quality and his has the adjust button on his mike it is to hard to use riding and impossible to use wearing glove these I just got gloves or bare fingers the big knob and buttons work great. I'm going to order him his soon as I post this. I think it's a good setup for my opinion.
