They work well?

We've been looking into various headsets and radios ... Not heard of this one so would be interested to find out more! At the moment review wise we're finding that the most reliable are the radios... Which also have a ridiculously long range (one was 36 miles!!!)

Would you be using it with a group? :)
 
I have the f5 duel set and it's a cracking bit of kit the only thing I can't get to work very well is the FM stereo.
 
You can pick up some stations whilst stationary, but as soon as your riding it just picks up static. It's awesome at everything else and works perfect with my iPhone.
 
Me and Linked are looking at getting the f4 twin pack for our UK tour in June. They look really good from what I have read online.

Pug. When you get to test them could you please let us know what your experiences are.

Thanks.
 
I've got the Sena SMH10 which we put to good use over last years Euro trip. It was an excellent bit of kit - dead easy to set up and pair with each other and iphones and sat nav, and loud enough to be used with or without earplugs at motorway speeds. Battery life was excellent swell - only needed charging a couple of times over 6 days.

The scala rider G4 is also something to look at, fantastic piece of kit.

I've had the pleasure of testing both of these kits on euro trips with my mate and I have to say it's Scala. Battery life, vox quality, ease of use etc. Scala tips the scales. It's far from perfect tho!

We had issues with the Scala originally with what sounded like 'tumbling boxes' in the background when conversating with each other, he contacted Scala and they said it was a possible issue with mismatch device firmware, sure enough my unit was running previous firmware.

During this point he ordered the interphone F5 and we used it on a two day trip to Reims race circuit last August. Initial tests the night before the trip (fitting to helmets, walking around house with helmets on, much lulz for his wife) were positive, but we both noticed, compared to Scala, our voices sounded different and compressed.

On the trip I was greeted with low battery warning after 3 hours of riding. He had charged them both as per instructed. Not long after his did the same. Bearing in mind the year previously our first trip out to France using the Scala we used them for 14 hours non stop without a hiccup and didn't need much charging either.

Possibly faulty items, but he had a trip to Africa with his wife in November and needed reliability and ease of use, more so for his other half! So the Interphones went back.

Like I stated previously they're (Scala) not perfect, but there are some known mods that can be done, of which one i did (unsoldering original earpieces and soldering on a pair of Koss PortaPro 80's style headphones). Makes listening to your mp3 collection far more pleasurable!

I wouldn't say the Interphones are bad, but from experience the Scala are a better bet.

Well received them. Nice package, crap instructions but easy enough to work out. However, sacking the ear phones off, just means I'll need towear ear buds and the speakers whcih is pointless, so tonight I've ripped the wiring apart and fixed in my own pair of scull candy ear buds... therefore, 2 birds, 1 stone... safe on the ears and BETTER sound quality for music coming from the headphones and also voices. Yet to test out on the road, Friday morning me and my mate are out and testing so will report back then. Mic is position right by my mouth and is secure and the wiring is tucked away for this...

Right, got to tidy all the headphone wires up and wrap and tuck away, nice job even if I say so myself lol
