(More customer reviews)I experimented with many Bluetooth helmet systems trying to find the best one for my ham radio on a motorcycle system. So i saw this unit for 55 bucks or whatever and it looked JUST LIKE A BlueAnt Interphone. So for the price,i figured it was a knockoff but i had no idea just how different it was going to be.By the way,there is a good happy ending to the story. I already owned a REAL BlueAnt Interphone but had to modify the mic element,too much wind noise,but got it to work well.
So i open the box and see "INTERPHONE" "USER MANUAL".It was almost exactly like the real one but a bit shorter in length. Then i noticed on the main unit that there were no volume buttons. To pair two interphones together,you have to use the volume buttons. There went my idea of using the knockoff as an intercomm with my passenger. One button and one button only. One function and one function only.Pair with your cell and listen to music via the cell output to the fake LOOKING BlueANT.Then i read the instructions and found out it would be useless,just like the other unit i purchased from this company. At least there werent 2 different product photos with different features on them in the add like the last one.
Now to business. It has the same input cord thats used for charging and mic and headphone. To charge the unit you unplug the mic/headphone[single speaker]and plug in the wall wart. But wait,somethings wrong here!????They sent me a 220v plug,argh!
I will keep this short. Dont expect to intercomm,dont expect to pair to other devices well and at 160ma battery,dont expect to get the 4 hours of talk time listed in the book.[ The real one has a 350ma in it]. If your playing music THROUGH your cell into the headset expect maybe an hour or 2.
So it ends up i switched helmets and re-installed my REAL BlueAnt Interphone.I must have broken a wire accidentally and blew the attached mic/earpiece. I figured what the heck,ill try the knockoff one and see if the pinouts are the same. Boy were they,and the speaker was much louder and better sounding!?Most important of all,the mic that came with the fake job sounded MUCH BETTER THEN THE REAL ORIGINAL INTERPHONE ONE~thank god i had this thing lying around,it really made one of my systems work rather GREAT.Go figure,for once i try to cheap out and it doesnt bite me. I now,after experimenting with most bluetooth helmet systems out there,including the ones built into the helmet[stay away from those!!!!]i use a Chatterbox XBI and connect to EVERYTHINGat once he he he,and the REAL BlueAnt for the other side of the helmet. Yes i wear 2. Lastly,the ac wall unit they sent in the box looked like it fit with the kit,however the output shows 220v OR 110v.At 500ma,thats half an amp to charge a 160ma battery. I hope it cuts it in half when using 110v cuz i wired it directly to the ac wall plug.[im electronic experienced,DONT do this yourself,it could be FATAL. The book says the blue light will blink when charging. When i plugged it in the blue light was steadily lit. I let it sit there for about 3 hours[book says 4 hours i think for a totaldischarged battery]and all of a sudden its now blinking. Did they get it backwards?If you buy one,and for the money if just using a cellphone i think its worth it,you are going to laugh pretty hard when you TRY to read the manual.Chinese to english must be very hard to do he he he,pj
