I like your honest reviews, base on your experience Josh. The Manufacturers seem to over exaggerate the distance between comms. Not all distance is a perfect straight line. DMC gets messy when everyone wants to talk. Long solo ride is where my music is best. 👍😁
Yeah line of sight is all well and good but none of these go very far in the bush aye 😅😭 But still, marginally better than 2 cans and a bit of string BD. I will have to have another go at the music thing on the bike.... good luck with the draw mate it's now a 1 in 3 chance pretty good! 😅
@@MVDBR Mate, Telstra and other Sat internet just does not compete, it's in a league all of its own, it's certainly a game changer for those in the bush.
Thanks Josh, I’ve just tested my new V6 after chatting with you and also find that I couldn’t hear my passenger after around 50kms/ hr on the road. Not sure if my volume was at max, but they will be ok in the bush which is what I purchased them for. I’ll try a new quieter helmet soon. 🏍🎥👌
Sena 'Open Mesh'... connection protocol is waay better than bluetooth. No pairing. Couple guys on ADV bikes were coming the other way on bikes. We connected on the fly in a fraction of a second, said hi... and then they were gone. Only downside is about 6 hr battery life. Need to re-charge them at lunch with another battery. IMHO: Try 'em.
@@MVDBR Ran Bluetooth for a few year before. Got the open mesh stuff about 8 months ago. Have been on lots of rides with them... seems like the 'connectivity distance' is about the same as Bluetooth. If you go round a corner and end up with a mountain in between the riders they drop... but then come right back up when the line of sight is clear. Really no issues on the rides with chopped or broken conversations. Turn them on... push the open mesh button... and ride.
I use a Bluetooth and can't find anyone to ride with as I'm 62 and other riders are younger n families lol love the video Josh and BTW I just put a corbin seat on my 22 T7 $ 716.00 rides great and comply. And ear plugs are a must. Thanks again you both ride safe
Those seats look flash mate but holy crap where do these seat manufacturers get their pricing from??? 🙈💩 I guess it's a specialty item really, but fk me they are all so expensive 🤦♂️ Thanks for the comment mate yeah it can be tough finding people to ride with 👎
Good honest review. .My Chinese cheapies have been pretty good so far. Cardio and senna pfft. I had the noisiest helmet decided to treat myself to a Shoei Hornet. Wow just wow what a helmet. Just sayin 🤷
@@MVDBR they had it for 930 told hi. The colour was meh gimme a tshirt half price., " you're doing it wrong, I'll give it to you free" then knocked it down to 9 coz of how much money I've spent there 💪
Hey Josh do you get alot of them brownies were you are ( snakes) I watch this other video and one of them jump quite away to try and bite a guy on a bike 🤔🍻
Good video Josh. the newer ones aren't always better. pity they can't fix it though say new speakers or firmware. oh well maybe next time. Good reviews thoe. 👍 🙂
@@MVDBR ITS OK I line of sight 1200 meter , in the pine forest trees or through few bends it drops out after 500meters , over blind crest it will drop out ,
Bloody great review Josh. It's actually frustrating to think that even now there are no class leaders/ahead of the rest moto comms set . Fuckn bullshit
It's a beauty ain't it, fkn love that knife. It's from our buddies at Olight, they got a few knives in their catalogue now that one's called the Drever. Although ya can't get it in that exact colour cause I painted mine, used to be shonky pumpkin orange lol www.olightstore.com.au/olight-drever-n690-folding-pocket-knife.html?streamerId=1432608308856135683&channel=default
Pretty good actually but it really depends on your helmet and mic location. If the other person has a very loud exhaust, sometimes it picks that up as well which can be annoying.
We are sporting a set of fodsports Fx8air, about the same functions compared to the teles....Jogdial, USb C (rechargeable while in use) and stupid loud. Might be an option ?!
Thanks for that I did look at a lot of the Fodsports units but most of them seemed to have a range of bugger all, probably the mesh ones. I've actually been chatting with them about getting some samples to try out, will see if we can get the FX8 Air cheers 🤙
Just earplugs for me , I've got enough voices in my head without adding any more. Cheers 🍻
Burn them, burn them allllll 😬😅

Felice di aiutare!
That angry Potted Plant better make it into EVERY product review video from now on! love that comms setup, very nifty!
I'll try 😁
Good job with the edit and review, looking good. Takes lots of effort to put stuff like that out.
Thanks mate yeah sure does 😁 How's the musky Starlink going?

Shame about the volume, nice that they are addressing it, will that be a firmware update on these, or just in the next model that comes out?
I'm not sure if they have upgradable firmware Pete will have to wait and see 😬
@@MVDBR 🙂

Would you recommend them on a harley davidson
I probably wouldn't recommend those particular ones at all, I use these now they're great: www.fodsports.com/fx8-air-motorcycle-bluetooth-intercom/
@@MVDBR Do you have any other recommendations if you need to pair 4-6 people? Only 2 need to talk like on the ones in the video.
@@schiedinator8074 nah sorry haven't tried any others
I have a Cardo Pactalk Bold and in my opinion it’s complete garbage ……
Yeah we didn't have a good experience with Cardo 👎
That $106 might be USD.
No it was eBay Australia, snapped up a set at that price they just arrived today 🤙 ebay.us/n1aYrq
I notice they have since gone up to $109 though lol cheeky fkrs
I think you need fuel Josh….
Ahh, remember the days of being able to afford that stuff 😁
Not bad for China 😁
Lol all of them be made in China mate 😁🍻
