I am currently in the market for a helmet communication systems for our riding group. I would like something that has Bluetooth capability so I can listen to music and take calls while I ride but still be able to communicate with other riders through the same device. I would like to get something where 4 riders minimum would be able to communicate with each other. Having the ability to add more would be a bonus. I did a search here but haven’t found anything recent and it appears that a ton of new products have been released since. The range has me concerned with some of them as it states they have a 2 mile open range. I am curious as to what I can expect the range to be in the woods? I see some guys saying that those that have 2 mile open range still have about 1 mile in the woods which doesn’t seem realistic but if it is, it would be just enough for our group. I wouldn’t want anything with less than a realistic 1 mile range in the woods. Bluetooth and wireless is a must. I have used hand held wired units years ago and they are a pain in the ass when it comes to removing your helmet as 9 times out of 10, everyone forgets about the wires, myself included. :irked:

What is everyone using these days?? How is the battery life, range, sound clarity, etc. on the units you are using? Thanks in advance for any feedback.
