Has anyone tried one of these yet I think vemar make one and mororola is working with some other helmet manufacturer - more applicable to bikes I guess (been waiting for this for a while) but any rally drivers etc on here

Can't see the point myself, on a bike the moment you're over 50mph the wind noise would mean you couldn't hear anyone anyway.

some truth in that, depends how good the fairing is though, to be honest have never used a bike intercom so i don't know how much use they are, but the idea does appeal - telephone radio and chatting with your pillion - and then we can get bluetooth head up displays etc.

Is the wind/engine noise still an issue with the professional equipement used in full/closed helmets by the police bikes or the F1 drivers to communicate with the paddock during races ?

Thorney, not true.

correct placement of earpieces and microphone are essential.
I use an arai full vented race helmet and can hear the missus over the intercom at 140mph, and that is with earplugs in too.

I've since repositioned the speakers a bit and can no longer hear her anything above 80mph. Quite handy that as it now means we don't bother with the intercom [img]images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
I can still hear her scream though - without the intercom ! [img]images/graemlins/roflmao.gif[/img]
