FreedConn BM2-S Bluetooth Motorcycle Helmet, Flip-Up Modular Motorbike Helmet, 500M Connectivity for 2-3 Riders, Voice Dial, Hands-Free Call, MP3, FM, DOT Certified (Medium, Gloss Black)

I received this helmet last Monday, 1/13/20 and had it on the road trying it out the next day. After topping off the charge it took all of about a minute to pair it with my Garmin Zumo 550. I did not pair it with a phone as I never use a phone while I'm on the go. I'll check for and make calls at rest breaks. All the other tech functions worked as advertised, including the FM radio.Pro's- the modular "pop open" feature is really nice for getting the helmet on and off or for simply taking a drink without removing the helmet- the internal smoked visor is great as it can be pulled down when I turn into the sun and retracted when I get into a shaded area- I love the chin insert that keeps cold air from trickling up around my neck and with the built in neck wrap in my riding jacket, they keep drafts out of the helmet. However, I ride with a full windshield so I don't know if direct air stream will intrude around it.- I kept all the vents open the day I rode with the helmet on but as with most full coverage helmets I presume this one could tend to fog up. In that event it would be easy to pop up the outside clear visor to clear it up. Again I ride with a windshield so riding with this visor up is not a big deal for me- it took a minute or two to get used to the chin strap hook up but in the end it's a lot easier to fasten/unfasten with heavy winter gloves on than the old "loop the strap through the rings" method- the sizing was spot on for me. I measure for a medium, ordered a medium and it fits well, even for me who far prefers half helmets. But if you get it wrong the padding inserts provide the sizing, not the helmet. The vendor apparently is willing to provide free replacements to get it right.Cons- the lowering/raising of the internal smoked visor is pretty stiff when trying to operate it while riding with the lever on the left side of the helmet. I attribute that to newness and it's easy to open the clear visor and push the smoked visor up if need be- the speakers are very tinny with zero bass. I won't bother playing music off my Garmin with them. Their quality is far behind the speakers in my 15 year old Interphone F4 that I use in my half helmet. I've communicated with the vendor and they assure me they are looking at improvements, both hardware and software- the volume controls are tied into the FM radio controls with a rotary knob. The basic operation of these two functions is relatively simple but can be frustrating to deal with at 120kph in traffic. Hold the knob too long while trying to turn down the volume and you activate the FM radio. I would prefer the more common method of individual buttons for up/down volume controls.All in all I think this helmet provides excellent value for the cost. It'll make my cold weather riding much more pleasant. And since I don't buy helmets for their entertainment features I won't downgrade it for the cons I listed. Note: I haven't tried pairing it with other helmets yet as I don't often ride in groups. If I do I'll update this review with the results.

I usually don't write long reviews, but this one will be a little lengthy. I really can't say enough good things about this helmet. It arrived well packaged and in good working order, with a fully charged battery. Everything on it functions precisely as advertised. I haven't had a chance to use the intercom function yet, but I will be purchasing a second helmet for my pillion because I am confident it will work well. Phone calls are perfectly doable, I've had them doing 60 mph and had zero issue hearing or being heard. The audio quality when listening to music is not high end stereo quality, but is fine , plenty loud enough, and above what I ever would have expected at this price point. Some people have stated that the sun screen is a little blurry to look through, it has a clear protective cover when shipped and it's perfectly clear when you remove it. The chin bar is easy to release and lift on the fly, and locks positively when pushed down. Wind noise with the helmet is perfectly tolerable, especially for a modular helmet design as opposed to a true full face. The helmet is well ventilated. The visor is easy to lift and lower and seals off quite well. It is not too heavy, and is quite comfortable to wear. I searched for months and you absoulutely will not find a helmet with a better value than this one. Anything comparable to the features and quality of this helmet is going to cost you over 800 dollars, and you really reach a state of dimminishing returns for your money at that point. There is literally nothing I don't like about this helmet.On top of receiving a good product, the customer service I have received from the seller had been excellent. I took the advice of many other reviewers and ordered a size up from what I normally wear, only to find that the helmet was too large. I posted a question on amazon asking if there was a place I could purchase a smaller liner to put into the helmet, and within fifteen minutes the seller answered with the message "please contact us as soon as possible." I did, and within minutes they responded again offered to send me a smaller liner for the helmet free of charge! Seriously, that kind of service alone is worth giving these folks my business. Coupled with the fact that it is a genuinely good product for a more than reasonable price, I would HIGHLY recommend this helmet. I will be buying another very soon, and probably one of their stand alone intercom to loan to friends I ride with so we can communicate.
