Nope... Who needs it when you have Bluetooth? :D
That is pimp.
or you can grab a Cardo which works the same, only if you smash your helmet (God forbid) you don't have to buy a whole new system.
I have about 5 helmets... have wanted one of these for a while but cannot justify getting another helmet.
I have seen these and considered it before I bought my Shoei but was looking for as light a weight helmet as possible. What's the sound quality like? Is it a pretty quiet helmet?
+1 on the Cardo, All of my friends have them. It's nice being able to talk to each other when riding. Plus I can put the cardo on whatever helmet I want.
Sayjack, which cardo do you have?
The Cardo G4 is coming out soon! I'll be buying it for sure.
These helmets have been out for some time now. They are not selling well.
i assume people would rather buy a higher quality helmet and add a communication device like chatterbox or scala?
All of my friends seem to be using scala so the G4 may be my next purchas.
+1 what Slomo said.
I buy a helmet based on how well it performs at the very critical task of keeping the soft gooey stuff inside my skull, and how comfortable it is wearing it until that event occurs. There is nothing electronic that you can add to a helmet that will improve how a helmet performs these critical tasks. You can always add the Scala or other BT comm devices to just about any helmet you buy.
That's a good looking helmet and the BT integrated with it is nice... but in the end, if it don't protect yer noggin, it will be the end of you..
