Make use of the clips that come with the product packaging as well as established them up on the right part of your motorcycle safety helmet.
Then, attach the Bluetooth intercom to the clip, and you're excellent to go.
Later, use Velcro and Eva rubber to connect the microphone and the audio speakers inside the helmet padding.
Notice: You will get a hard mic and a soft mic in the packaging. Use the soft mic for a full-face helmet and the hard mic for an open-face helmet.
Bluetooth Pair
As the main product of our company, the FODSPORTS M1S Pro is equipped with Bluetooth 4.1 version. You can pair it with two Bluetooth devices at the same time to enable things such as:
Listen to music
Listen to GPS navigation,
Conduct group intercom
It is worth noting that M1S PRO is highly adaptable. Since M1S Pro has two modes of active pairing and passive pairing,
it can be paired with most brands of intercoms on the market.
Some people may find the pairing process with other Bluetooth headsets confusing.
Be sure to perform this process in order.
Range
Group Intercom range is up to 2000m and the effective maximum communication distance between 2 riders is about 500m.
We stretched a good distance between us and then separated that distance with a large bend in the road.
This put us out of sight from each other with a lot of pine trees in between.
No problem! All-day we were able to hear each other perfectly.
One convenient feature of this intercom is the integrated self-healing technology.
It will automatically reconnect a rider that leaves the intercom group for less than 5 minutes.
If the cyclist is out of the group for greater than 5 minutes, he can push the intercom button to return.
Sound Quality
Considering its price, this Bluetooth headset is very strong when it comes to its sound quality.
It features 40mm speakers with a nice bass
that provides high-definition sound rarely found on Bluetooth headsets in this price range.
The headset features a CSR chip, which is designed to cancel out any type of ambient noise,
such as the sound of your motorcycle’s engine, wind, and traffic.
The mic system does an excellent job when it comes to noise cancellation.
During the test, we found that the sound quality is related to the position of the speakers.
You have to get the speakers mounted just right.
Basically directly over your actual ear hole....and touching (or almost) the ear.
Once you get the placement right the sound is great.
One more thing. Mic placement has to be right in front of your mouth for the clearest sound.
I have mine set with the smaller mic in my full-face helmet. I can touch the mic with my lips if I try.
My buddy used the boom mic in his modular helmet with pretty much the same placement.
If you want to listen to music while communicating with your teammates, you can use an audio cable.
Voice Control
While it does not provide an incorporated voice control performance,
you can achieve it by pairing this Bluetooth headset with your smartphone.
That indicates that you can utilize voice aides such as Siri and Google Aide via the Bluetooth headset's microphone.
The microphone is of top quality,
so you absolutely will not need to chew out it to register your voice commands.
So, with voice control, you can get hands-free operation on features such as:
Answering and also denying telephone calls
Switching on the intercom
Streaming songs
Offering GPS commands
Waterproof and Dustproof
Fodsports M1S Pro is both dustproof and waterproof,
Waterproof Ip65, Anti-fog, Anti-sweat Working Temperature From Minus 10 Degrees — 45 Degrees
so it can handle a wide range of weather conditions, including rain and high wind conditions.
Battery Life
The M1S Pro actually kicks it out of the park when it comes to battery life. First of all, it includes a 900 mAh battery that stands over the most Bluetooth headsets in the competitors.
The full charge fee offers:
12 hours of intercom time
20 hrs of phone talk time
300 hrs of standby
On my one long ride so far I used it for over an hour and it indicated a 90 percent charge left afterward.
When the battery obtains reduced, the headset will certainly provide an audio caution to prepare you.
After you discharge the battery, you can charge it on the go if you have a portable battery charger.
It will take 3 hrs to charge the battery of the M1S Pro fully.
Bear in mind that you can make use of all the headset operates when it's charging, which is wonderful and also.
NOTICE:M1S PRO will shut off when you connect the charger, but you can turn it back on and it continues to indicate it's charging.
Price
Well, the Fodsports M1S Pro is one of the most economical motorcycle Bluetooth intercoms
that you can discover on the market.
In addition to tons of helpful features, its pricing is actually charitable, even for a double-pack version.
Inspect the availability and also prices for the Fodsports M1S Pro Bluetooth headsets on the buttons listed below!
Battery life - the battery life is amazing! I can run these things way longer than the Senas without charging. All I know is when I check the battery life, it is almost always > 90%. I still charge them once a week because Sena has given me PTSD
Sound quality - The sound quality and volume is just as good if not better than the Senas
Microphone - My buddy can hear me loud and clear when I wear my dual sport helmet while he couldn’t always hear me with the SMH-5
Earbud functionality - Listening to music from my phone is just like using Bluetooth earbuds. Long press the volume buttons and you can skip to the next or last song. The Senas don’t do that
Price - these are half the price of the Sena 20S!
Cons:
Mobile App - Sena has a mobile app where you can see and make setting changes, the M1S is much simpler and doesn’t have an app
Volume buttons vs jog dial - using the Sena jog dial wheel is way superior to the volume buttons on the M1S. It is hard to feel the buttons with gloves on and I can’t get the volume exactly how I would like it because it increases in step changes. I eventually learned how to control the volume buttons, but the sound volume control is more course grain compared to the jog dial
Phone connection - the Sena will tell me when my phone automatically connects at startup, the M1S doesn't
Universal pairing - Here is where I struggle. All my buddies have Senas so I have worked too hard to figure this one out. You can pair with the Sena IF you put the Senas in universal pairing mode. You will have to teach your Sena buddies how to do this.
Connect/Disconnect once paired - With the Senas, you can hit the jog dial button when you want to join an intercom conversation or drop off of the conversation. However, once you pair your M1S with a Sena, you are kind of stuck on the intercom. You can drop it off by hitting the intercom button, but I haven’t figured out how to reconnect without repairing it. However, the Sena guy can just hit his jog dial button and bring you back in.
