Scala Rider Q2

[Bike-aholic]

We've got a fail on Mrs H's Blueant. Mind you, that's after several months of intensive use. It's some sort of hardware fault with her mike/headset stem which means she hears constant crackle and nothing else.

These things worked brilliantly for almost all of our US-Canada trip. They're currently returning attached to the helmets packed away with the bike, so I will have a conversation with the New Zealand distributors on their return. They were pretty obliging last time we had a fault.

Yep both our blueants went south, first mine all i could hear was crackling and and ffs my partners went 2 days after i got my replacement (from the US).
They are great but long trips batt power does'nt last 4-5 hrs tops and thats with linking them through the cell phones using best mate if we did'nt use the cell phones bike to passenger was only 4 hrs max.

Nasty and I use Nolan N102 helmets with the N-Com bluetooth comms package ($NZ385). Our bike to bike comms are great, good clarity, no noise and good volume. I run mine on the mid setting, Nasty on the top ... and that's with Plug-4-Lugz 45dB plugs in the ears.

Our battery life is a couple of days. We can easily do a 12hr day. We like to be kind to our batteries and only recharge when we get the low-juice signal which will generally be around lunchtime on Day 2. It only takes an hour.

The combo of helmet and it's comms gear means that we don't have weather outs because it's all designed into the internal part of the helmet well out of the nasties.
