Cheap bluetooth but not durable.
Just only a day the volume + button is not working after testing, already broken. Need to power off and on so the sound will be on the highest level then just lower the volume to what i prefer.I tested the bluetooth with my phone. Call and music but haven't tried while moving.Fm is ok.More like an expensive disposable bluetooth..

Stop dont do it
So I'm giving it two stars not because they deserve it, the quality is more like a 1. Im giving them another star for effort. This product looks good. The sleak narrow design. The Mic and speakers it comes with, pretty nice looking also.If only it preformed like it looks. The sound quality is nothing to be proud of. Going 40 you cant hear anything but drums. The stick on Velcro they give you sucks my mic fell out with it being in for one day. No joke one day. If youre going to waste money buy a talking monkey from your dealer.

Best bang for your buck
Great feel! Takes about 20-30 minutes to install properly. Place ear phones directly in line with ears and the music is loud and clear, run all wires behind helmet liner and microphone against mouth guard of helmet. Phone calls and music are clear at high speeds(100mph+). Truly amazing product at an unbeatable price. Read manual and INSTALL PROPERLY. Sleek design. Hold +/- for volume, press +/- to change song. Sena who!?!

Way more than expected !!
This bluetooth is way more than I expected ! I had read many positive reviews, and for thirty bucks I figured it was worth a shot. I mainly wanted this so I could hear my gps. I ride a ST1300 I purchased recently, and am behind a pretty big shield. I have my Galaxy S6 on a ram mount almost directly in my line of vision, but I really wanted the audio because I don't want to take my eyes off the road and whats happening around me any more than necessary. If this unit met that objective alone I would have been happy. Although have not yet road tested the unit, I've done enough testing off of the bike whereas this review should be useful.The install. I installed this unit in a new, leftover/closeout modular helmet, a Vemar Jiano Evo TC. The job was fairly straight forward, because of my tinkering it probably took 45 minutes. The velcro attached to the two speakers, and the base for the mic stuck very well to the existing lining inside my helmet, so there was no need for the stick on pads provided. This not only made the install easier, but gives me many options to tweak the speaker placement for optimum performance. As mentioned above, I ride behind a pretty big shield, which blocks a lot of wind noise. This unit gets plenty loud enough for my purposes. I suspect those who complain about the volume level in their reviews, don't have their speakers located just right. A small adjustment can make a large difference in sound level and quality. It was relatively easy to tuck and hide the wires in and behind the liner/padding. I ran the mic between my removable cheek pad and the liner padding for a clean install. I chose to velcro the unit to the helmet rather than use the included clip. I don't plan to use this unit all the time while riding. I also prefer to remove it from the helmet to charge it, rather than take the helmet to the charger. I bought 3M stuff at the hardware store, but the included pieces would have probably worked fine. I cut a small notch in the hard plastic part of the helmet liner for the wire that connects to the unit. I also wrapped the spot of the wire that protrudes through the notch with electrical tape to protect it from wear.I obviously can not yet comment on the battery life, or the longevity of the unit. If either are insufficient, I will be back to adjust my review. I have tested this so far with my music, and gps from my phone. I also received a couple test calls, and was more than satisfied with the quality of the calling. I expect it perform just as well, or very close to it when I am on the bike. The combination of a large shied blocking wind noise, combined with the full face helmet should keep call quality high on both ends of the call. I find the music/sound quality more than acceptable. I was expecting less because of other reviews I had read, but was pleasantly surprised.I will definitely be purchasing another one of these units to install in my wife's helmet. I didn't originally plan to do this, but because of the performance this unit offers, I expect the intercom feature to be worth the very reasonable cost.If you are debating whether this unit is too good to be true, just buy it.Edit to add :After 3 weekends away on the motorcycle last season, this BT performs exactly as I expected to as I wrote in the above review.It stays reliably connected to my phone, and works perfect with my gps. I don't plan to use it for calling, but it is adequate if I need to make or take a call while riding. Music is also adequate, but at highway speeds I would have to turn the volume higher than I am comfortable with. Others have suggested I try using earplugs with it.

Great Unit, 1 incorrect Screw
Update2: I had removed a star for a user error. I thought the unit was messed up. I have added the star back. 3 stars remain. Again for the price, great unit. Fyi.. unit wont alert me when its charging (red light), but its clearly working, so must be charging.Update: I finally got a chance to test the call function at high speeds. I have received 2 calls while at highway speeds (65-85mph). I could not hear the person calling me. The wind noise completely overpowered the speakers. At city speeds (20-30mph) , this was ok, Not great, but ok. I have removed, one star off my rating.In my opinion, if you need a unit to take calls while at highway speeds, this is NOT the unit for you. For me and my circumstance, this is a non-issue as I use it for music during my commute. I still think at $30 this is a complete bargain.Original Review:Ive seen reviews on YT of these BT-S2 communicators and had to try it myself! Prime delivered in 2days and I got it 30mins before my work shift. I was so excited, I unboxed it and installed it in 10-15mins. I got my gear ready, and I paired it to my phone easily. I then pressed the orange button twice for fm radio, and I was on my way to work.My review is based on 7 days of use. In unboxing, I noticed of the 2 screws supplied, 1 was Phillips, the other was a Flathead screw. Both of different sizes. I had to scrounge through my jar of screws and found one that worked. I removed a star off the rating because of this issue.Other than that, im quite impressed with this little communicator. I got it for 30 US dollars and for my use, its perfect!! I have an Arai Defiant Pro helmet with phenomenal ventilation. This helmet is quiet enough to enjoy the music from this unit even at velocities of 65-85mph. I forgot to mention that I also ride an ALL electric Zero DS motorcycle. It in itself is extremely quiet. I mention all this because my experience with this has been nothing but amazing, but my circumstance differs greatly from most riders woth ICE bikes. I love this little comm unit for its FM radio, and for streaming music from my 3 music apps (pandora, spotify, and amazon prime music)I have NOT tried pairing with any other communicator for rider to rider communication. I have placed 1 phone call to a business landline (for testing). Person on the other end sounded clear and they said I sounded clear. I was learning to use the unit therefore I placed that call while sitting on the motorcycle while parked. Unfortunately, I have not tested this while in motion.Also, I have tried running navigation through my phone while listening to music, again, through my phones BT. The navigation voice got a bit hard to understand at high velocities. I then did navigation only, and now it was more clear and understandable.As for the unit itself. Its very easy to use. Its rubber coated and claims to be waterproof. I did ride in light rain, very light rain, and it performed like normal.Overall, this is very impressive for for about 1/6 the price of the top communicators. Yet this thing is a solid device that can handle the major functions very well:Music (FM radio and streaming), Navigation, PhoneCalls (tested 1 time), and Rider to Rider communication (did NOT test).Buy it!!

Bluetooth Device Works, Headset Doesn't
The blue tooth device works great, but only one of my speaker is working so I can only hear sound from one side of the helmet. Tried contacting the seller. No response.
