Best Intercom System?

[bacchus]

I've done the searching of both the site and the interwebs, but I'm interested in YOUR experience.

I would like a system that integrates well with and Android phone, is reliable and pairs quickly and can be used mostly for music (mp3's or pandora or FM), GPS directions. Ease of use so my little girl can chat with me on rides and occasionally to chat rider to rider.

Scala teamset pro has a range of about 20-30' so it's best for rider-passenger, not bike-to-bike. It will bluetooth to my droidx for phone calls, but NOT for mp3 music.

Music comes by way of a plug-in headphone jack that I have hooked to a cheap sony radio in the clear top of my tank bag, routed through a "Boostaroo" inline amplifier. The headset speakers are then loud enough to play radio through my earplugs just fine.

I have the Scala Rider Teamset Pro. It's a rider-to-passenger system. There is the Scala Rider Multiset setup that's bike to bike, plus does a bit more than the Teamset Pro. Multiset should have the same quality as the Teamset does.

I use the Teamset pro for talking with my wife or my son (depending on who is riding with me at the time). Sound is good; there's a little wind noise transmitted but it's subjective and depends on the helmet, riding situation and speed, location of mic, etc... I'm very happy with the sound quality, volume, and ability to have two way conversations (not like walkie talkies).

The boom mic isn't too obtrusive in my full face, but I definitely notice it. Space is lessened for me due to a foam air flow piece at the front of the chin area, but this is a helmet issue, not a boom mic issue. In my wife's helmet without the foam in the chin area, she has plenty of room for the boom mic.

It has the longest talk and standby time of any bluetooth intercom that i have seen

and several features that other models dont have, such as tect to speech and voice activation

i checked them out at the Indy dealer show when i was there, i am a dealer for them now, and im actually getting ready to buy a dual kit for me and my wife.

in addition, they have a handlebar mount switch that is coming out shortly (or may be out already) that allows you to control every function of the unit! which i think is a huuuge selling point, no more touching the side of your helmet, never take your hand off the bar.

I jus set up my sena smh10 I got from Nate at riders discount yesterday and love it. Called my mom on the way to work heard her clear, had pandora blasting and it had a 10 hour battery. It work well with my android galaxy s2.. Best price out there for quality too if u call Nate.

[Beemn]

I've been using the Sena SMH10 for several years now and am very pleased with it. Clear intercom, phone and it integrates very well with my iPhone so I'm sure it would with an android. We get about 1/4 mile bike to bike range with it which is really nice. a full charge will last a 600 mile day using intercom and music. They have a new SM5 out which seems to do all you want and is even more affordable.

[bacchus]

Do you have pricing info yet, Ryan?

[Hoblick]

Yeah, pm me and ill get you pricing. Dual kit or single?

Scala G4 is where it's at, best one I've used. Works killer with iPhone.
