But promises a little more than it holds (distance) is the acquisition value and holds a day through completely.

We have installed the system in each 2 helmets. Schuberth J1 and Schuberth C3. This requires man naturally acquire the mics and ear plates (listeners) also double, but then only one other set of mounting plates to the Com modules to be mounted on the helmet outside.

Handling okay (at the helm) - even with gloves adjustable.
Coverage will continue as promised it holds, but 500 meters is already a lot.
Volume is okay and the quality of transmission even noteworthy (especially compared with the BT City).

Especially the standby mode works well even with "cross-country trips" of no more than 100km / h - that is, that the connection is only on when a speaks. (This is done reliably with delay, but still.)

In highway driving, and from about 120km / h, it is difficult or impossible (depends certainly also on the motorcycle / windshield and helmet-damping off) to communicate. Then no longer works and the "Standby Auto-switching", or remains permanently communication.

Vulnerable are the ear-plate (listeners) that you have to fasten the helmet inside. Here loosen the cable in the purchase of time. It is therefore recommended this Ear platelet very good and above all with a kind of relief loop (or paving over it) to fix, for the cable connection is sensitive. (But you can also buy more all parts ...)

I have so often lost, that I now soon no longer use (the micro then the snood at the mouth einwickle) the micro-protection. Basically, you can buy more the micro-protection, the motorcycle dealers you always get a free time on goodwill, alternatively you can repurpose a piece of packing foam with a good cutter knife.

The micro position is extremely important for good voice quality, here you should vote on each ride with the "partners", because a minimal rotation (flat side always to mouth) or higher and closer to one centimeter bring immense improvement. The micro itself is nice flexible, and we have installed so it in the helmets that it is still flexible mobile.

Above all, is the battery performance of the rechargeable Com Part noteworthy. Have we the BT Next always a battery pack / Power Bank used to recharge during breaks communicate an entire day can so easily succeed with fully charged BT NEXT.
Nevertheless, the Note: A mobile power bank / battery with a USB port can be a welcome friend in need. Can charge a break long as help quickly.

The most exciting benefit of a smooth and reliable communication among motorcycles can be, for example, result in confusing routes, if you can warn our successors, or can quickly point out spontaneous route changes.

Finally, I can say (as a woman): As much as on motorcycle tours I'm talking to my husband on road trips certainly not. A well-functioning communication system between two riders take you to a fun on the tours and can be an advantage in terms of safety.

The BT NEXT has certainly now and then I would not have missed so its hook and tear, but it.

PS. To submit a comprehensive review with tips and experiences is an effort, many of the benefits, so I find a feedback motivating --- even better: Be self-reviews. ;-)
