When it comes to attempting to communicate from a motorbike, there are a number of issues that make things difficult. The largest of all is that of noise.

If you've ever been on a bike then you'll know that it's a nice place to be. You feel as though you're very close to the engine, which can generate quite a roar, particularly on high specification models.

You then have to take into account the noise involved in moving at high speeds, plus the added difficulties caused by weather conditions. Those of us living in the UK know that the weather can be a real pain!

Once you put all of these factorstogether, it becomes clear that talking to others is not easy.

This is quite a problem, since you may wish to have a conversation with a passenger, someone in a car, or maybe with another motorbike rider.

This is where bluetooth technology is starting to come to the rescue. A bluetooth helmet includes a headset, that is basically made up of a set of headphones with a microphone attached.

Riders using these devices can communicate with other owners of similar gear. Although the basic devices only work over realtively short distances, this is fine in most cases.

For those who want even more out of their communications kit, the helmet comes into its own when used in conjunction with a bluetooth compatible mobile phone.

Using the twotogether, a rider can make and receive telephone calls from anywhere in the world.

An amazing use of technology and one that is transforming the way in which motorcycle owners view their machines.

The BT2 provides me with great integration with my Blackberry 9630 Tour. Answering and making cell calls are flawless with voice commands. It's amazing actually how well it works. The Bluetooth reliably connects every time I turn the BT2 on. If I have the phone's media player active (playing or on pause), it will begin playing the music immediately after connecting. Voice quality is awesome on both ends for cell calls and the intercom. The person on the other end of the cell call doesn't even know I am on a motorcycle doing 60mph. Streaming audio is also really good. When playing music from the phone, it's best to keep the volume on the BT2 on one setting and use the phone's up/down volume. There is great flexibility with the small but very good sounding speakers (of course don't expect tons of low end). The sound is better the closer the speaker units are to your ears. The units can get really loud. If you wear earplugs while riding, you will be able to hear the BT2 just fine. It was easy to install as Velcro is on the back of the speakers and boom-mic mounting areas. I thought wearing gloves would be a problem trying to hit the buttons while riding. With the lighter gloves I've been wearing it has not been a problem.

I haven't pushed the battery life too much to test claims of the 8 hours talk-time. I have ran them for 2 hours with no problems. As far as the distance range of the bike to bike feature, I get about 90-100 yards max with no obstacles between the units. That's good enough for my needs. The literature boasts a maximum range of 220 yards.
