Product Description
Stay in touch while riding the streets in style with VCAN helmets. This 2nd generation full face helmet comes fully equipped with improved Bluetooth 2.0 technology to insure compatibility with your Bluetooth enabled cell phone or iPhone. With up to 30 hours of continuous talk time and 600 hours of standby time, these helmets allow you to use your iPhone or standard cell phone, listen to music streaming from your MP3, phone, or XM radio, as well as listen to GPS directions clearly (Incoming cell calls automatically override other communications, but new call reject feature can limit interruptions). Combine two or more VCAN helmets, and enjoy communications from rider to passenger, and passenger to rider (intercom), or talk bike to bike (2-way communications within 10 meters). Other features include a noise cancelling mic, full duplex communications with DSP Filter, self adjusting volume, glove friendly and waterproof controls. Multifunction LED indicators let you know when your battery is low. When this occurs, simply use the 110 volt/220 volt charger included and you'll receive a full charge in just 6 hours. Though these helmets are hot on technology, the primary focus is safety. This DOT approved helmet is constructed of ultra light thermoplastic material and is aerodynamically shaped for ease of cutting through the air with less buffeting and wind noise, thus lessening the stress on the riders neck muscles after a long ride. The flow through ventilation system helps keep you comfortable, while the anti-scratch, quick release visor helps keep your perspective clear. The inner lining is fully removable and washable. The helmets come in 5 different sizes and 7 different designs to fit you and your personality perfectly.

Bought this one for the wife in conjunction with one for myself. These were bluetooth 1.0 helmets that were reconfigured with bluetooth 2.0 hardware. They connect very easily to my EVO, streams audio and phone work as desired, especially as it relates to low speed usage.Okay, she constantly complains she cannot hear...ONLY ONE SPEAKER! I have one exactly like this and I concur, the single speaker blows. They connect easily, although they function identically, the bluetooth hardware is different. They connected and work as specified, but after say 25 Mph the sound is not loud enough. It is easy enough for her to operate, she is a bit slow technologically speaking, but it gets annoying when she cannot hear me....or is that a good thing...lolIt functions well as a helmet, she states it is comfy too. The environmental noise is not too bad either.Modular is a better option. I just received a modular helmet today, it has stereo bluetooth speakers (TWO SPEAKERS!), functions are again, identical. The same hardware as my other vcan bluetooth helmet but sound quality with two speakers is HUGE Improvement.-IBuyAlot

Me and my girldfriend bought this Vcan bluetooth helment. Bluetooth is great, you can pair with other helmet of the same brand. It's great when you are driving slow, when you are driving fast all you have to do is to speak slowly.Music is perfect all the time. Just adjust the volume.Perfect Design I love it, it has a tiger and a ace.But no complains, I've had it for 3 months now, and it works like a charm, haven't experienced any of the problems the other people are talking about, or maybe I'm just lucky.

It's been a month to the day that I received my helmet. The first thing that I noticed was that the design on the helmet, which is more of a decal wasn't put on correctly. Secondly, trying to charge the battery for the bluetooth was pretty horrid since it seems like it has more of a short in it than anything. When it's plugged in, the light doesn't stay red. I have to readjust it and it takes a while to do that. Once I have adjusted it, I have to carefully sit it down. In the past month, the decal that's on the helmet is cracked all over. I'm not sure why, but I'm guessing it shrunk in the heat. The helmet only has two vents. While riding, it's OK. But most of your air flow will probably come from under the helmet. While sitting at a light, you're going to have to flip the lid every time because you won't be able to breathe. Lastly, the flip visor, over the past month, has started developing cracks in it. At first, it was a couple, then they started stretching from the sides to the front. I'm very disappointed in that. In hind sight, I wouldn't buy a VCAN helmet again.The bluetooth is 2.0 and connected to my iPhone fine with stereo sound. There are two speakers, one over each ear. The sound quality was lacking until I turned my phone off of 'control loudness' for the music. At 60+ mph, I can still hear just fine. The same with mapping navigation. Don't expect to be able to hold a conversation though. The mic is horrible. You will not be able to talk while riding a Harley at even 10 mph unless you're yelling.I know on other reviews people say that the helmet is "cheaply made". I took that as more from the standpoint of how it was assembled, in which case - it wasn't assembled with any quality involved. However, with the cracks in the visor, I can only imagine what's going on in the black part which I cannot see through. Therefore, before something happens, I'm on the hunt for a different helmet.
