I've been put off buying an intercom 'cos the mic and headphones have to be bought separately (or so I thought). These look good. I only want to be able to receive calls and hear my directions from google maps. Don't really need intercom (no friends😞. Should be just the thing.
so, i bought qsolo and found i was stuck with the larger mic.. since no flat mic option provided. my helmet just is too close to face to allow that.. so i lopped off the mic, since i knew i wouldnt be using it anyway. I totally forgot that the audio adjusts based on sound in the mic.. so since then I've had trouble with the unit being too quiet. And since the unit has failed anyway.. just like the other i bought from them did.. too soon. So, yes.. this looks like a better option at a great price!
Thanks for putting this review up, the guys at my local scooter club were really impressed with these and have used them paired up to a number of riders. I did order one a couple of days ago before seeing this review so I hope it lives up to your review.
@@markpulling12 hi mate. I have a budget of £160 for a pair of intercoms so me and the girlfriend can talk to each other, what would you recommend? Please
Hi Mark. Thank you for your review on the Fodsports M1-S Plus helmet Bluetooth intercom communication system. I purchased two units for $96 AU each in Sydney Australia through eBay. Set each unit up on a Nolan 40-5 helmets and connected to Samsung android phone via Bluetooth. I have tried various functions including intercom, FM radio, music (using Spotify), making and receiving mobile phone calls. At this stage the units are performing well. The music comes through loud and clear. FM radio is a bit scratchy, however the signal may be better on the open road rather then in the house. I think the unit would be great for a club ride group or a rider with pillion or two mates on a ride.
The radio signal isn't the best and the sound from radio is the best . Thats my only complaint on this intercom .. there is a update for it but there's not a english version yet
@@markpulling12 Ok thanks. I did see that the fx6 was apparently a bit louder and good with ear plugs but Amazon reviews seem very confusing. One guy- best thing ever, next guy- worst thing ever 😫😂
I've had the M1-S Pro for a long time now, used to be much cheaper, even my exact model is at least double what I paid. But it is great for music and calls, never used for comms bike to bike though.
Hi Mark. Thanks for this review. We are a group of up to 8 riders looking for comms. Ideally able to talk in conference. Which Fodsports unit would you recommend. FX8 Pro, M1 S plus or ???? Your thoughts are appreciated. Many thanks Graeme NZ
Hi Graeme ...I've tried a lot of the fodsports coms they all work very well .. I've still got my original fx8 and it's performing like new after 2 years ...id go for the fx8 pro as the rotary control for volume etc is very convenient...but the m1s pro would still be a great option...I think it's a bit cheaper Hope it all works out well with your group Best wishes mark
Thanks for a good review. I have had the older V6 version of the Fodsport for several years and they have been great, but I am looking to get something more up to date. But I would like an intercom where you can talk to only one other person at the time even if several others are connected to the group. Do you know if you can call up only one of several riders, or will everyone hear what is being said?
Mark, so can you listen to music during an intercom conversation or is it either/or? With Sena and Cardo the music dims when someone speaks...how do these work?
@@markpulling12 thank you. I've been looking at the FX8, B4FM and this M1 S Plus for days now and you have reviews on all of them. Great reviews and now almost harder to choose. Seems like I can't go wrong no matter which. New sub either way-thanks!
I had a Fodsport sat nav for about a week, the screen froze and it never worked again! Got a replacement and it did the same!! Rubbish product in my opinion, hopefully your intercom unit is better quality🤔😬
hate those kind of speakers, nothing to do with the equipment, it's the helmet, so unless i can use noise cancelling headphones with it, i'm not interested, because i can't deal with the wind noise, and my helmet supposed to be one of those quiet ones
Hi handsome cutie. I have to agree ,how about using Bose noise cancelling earbuds 2022? I really like the sound and would recommend, Bose or Bang n ofusen. Good luck keeping your hearing.
Use your phone , BBC Sounds app or similar via mobile data , to bluetooth to the Fodsports unit . With a very small internal antenna i find all these units struggle with fm.

@@freespeechviral5253 hi they do a dual pack of these which I'd definitely recommend or the fx8 are very good ☺️
@@markpulling12 you don't need to put batteries in do you
@@freespeechviral5253 no they have their own rechargeable battery pack which gives about 20 hours !

Hi mark, simple question, ms1 plus or fx8 pro. With the ms1 olus can you listen to music and phone or intercom at the same time ?
That is for review. When you said goof for 70mph, do you mean that the wind noise drowns them out too much to hear them too much beyond that? Cheers
Yes after 70 mph you won't really be able to hear much ....but that's much the case for all intercoms
Best wishes mark

@@markpulling12 thanks Mark. I've also messaged you with the same question, just in case you didn't see it here.
Again, cheers for replying👍
Hi Mark great review. Which is best this or the fx8?
Hi Steve I found the fx8 has slightly better sound quality and is easier to operate for volume with the rotary dial
Best regards mark
Good review, thanks Mark. I will look at one of these for music and calls - don't need the intercom requirement just yet but good to have.
Thanks 👍 yes they seem good for the money great sound quality
Mark, how did you fit it on the LS2 helmet? It looks like with the clip.
Hi yes I used the clip 😊

@@markpulling12 OK, thanks for your advice. Cheers, and ride safe. Kurt.
Mark, so can you listen to music during an intercom conversation or is it either/or? With Sena and Cardo the music dims when someone speaks...how do these work?
Hi Craig it's either / or with these
Best wishes mark
@@markpulling12 If I'm listening to music will the intercom cut in? Then if I want to go back to music do I have to press a button?
@@craiggoldstein2461 yes Craig exactly that :)
Hi handsome. It's nice to hear your voice. Nice product review. Always read your instructions.
Awesome fordsports intercom mark thanks great you can here next rider clearly thanks for sharing top man 👍
Used this for years. As good as the more expensive big brands.
Thanks Gerard ....I agree mine is going well 😊
can the music be used while talking to your backride? thanks for your feedback.
Yes but you would have to press the intercom button to start the conversation
Cheers mark
Can rider and passenger listen to their own music whilst being able to communicate? Thanks.
You can share music but i don't think you can listen to separate music then talk on the intercom
Cheers mark
How would you compare this to the Lexin B4FM? Which do you say is "better" ??
Hi James the fodsports has slightly better sound and volume but they are both equal I'd say on features etc
Cheers mark
@@markpulling12 thank you.
I've been looking at the FX8, B4FM and this M1 S Plus for days now and you have reviews on all of them.
Great reviews and now almost harder to choose.
Seems like I can't go wrong no matter which.
New sub either way-thanks!
Which one did you go for? I'm looking at fx8 or M1 S plus.
Be interested in your thoughts.👍
Just one question. Are the speakers thin enough not to press against your ears?
Your helmet may have cutouts behind the lining in the foam to accommodate the speakers they are about 8 mm thick cheers mark
hi can u get gps while talking to another rider?
Yes you can :)
@@markpulling12 thank u been trying to find 1 that can do both at same time without having to buy a cardo
able to use google assistant?
Hi yes it has that :)
I had a Fodsport sat nav for about a week, the screen froze and it never worked again!
Got a replacement and it did the same!! Rubbish product in my opinion, hopefully your intercom unit is better quality🤔😬
Do you prefer this one or the fx8?
Hi James I have the fx8 as well as this one and prefer the fx8 .... slightly louder better sound still going great after a year cheers mark

@@go5582 noise canceling earphones are technically illegal. You might be legal if you only wear one. In any case, they're a short cut to the mortuary.
I've had mine for 2 years.
Radio always awful.
Only bought it for that to be honest 😔
Use your phone , BBC Sounds app or similar via mobile data , to bluetooth to the Fodsports unit . With a very small internal antenna i find all these units struggle with fm.
Too much technology for me, Mark. 'Thumbs up' anyway.
Cheers Nik . I'm out on the 390 today suns shining today!!
@@markpulling12 Just about to go out on mine.
Best Value. I have.
Thanks glad it's going well 😌
