Music is a powerful thing. It can help you focus, calm you down, and get you pumped up all at the same time! When you drive a car, listening to music is a no-brainer, but if you regularly get around on a motorcycle, listening to music is a luxury. Luckily, thanks to modern technology, Bluetooth helmets have been invented. A Bluetooth helmet can be used for several purposes, from taking calls to listening to directions or your favorite tunes.

Nearly 8.3 million people in the United States are licensed motorcycle riders. Many people ride for enjoyment, while others use a motorcycle as their main form of transportation. Some motorcycles are equipped with speakers, which allow the rider to enjoy music while they are riding. The speakers on a motorcycle are different than those in a car. When installing speakers on a motorcycle, it is important to make sure you choose a waterproof option. While it is preferable to ride a bike in pristine weather, there are times the weather can change, and you will find yourself in a storm riding.…

The cinematic visuals, fantastic narrative, incredible storyline and some of the greatest video game characters make it so. This article is not about the video game, but one of the helmets in the video game that I remembered when researching intercom technology. You see, the main character who you play as goes by the name of Commander Shepard. He starts the game with this suit of armor…

Although this article is about motorcycle intercoms, this technology actually has a long, interesting history. Contrary to what a lot of people think, intercom technology didn’t start with telephones. They started with speaking tubes. With a design very similar to the “two cans joined by a string” trope you see in children’s cartoons, speaking tubes were commonplace in commercial spaces. A lot of office buildings had them installed by engineers by the late 1800s. You could connect up to 25 different offices with the most advanced of these. Speaking tubes were followed by telephones to answer phone calls as intercom technology…

When I go on motorcycle rides with my girlfriend, it’s almost always a pain trying to speak to her through my helmet and the wind. One time, I ask her if she needed to “wanted to take a break” and she thought I said, “watch your weight”. The conversation that followed was awkward, as you can imagine. Eventually, I snooped through intercoms on Amazon and came across the Vnetphone v6. Skeptical at first because of the abnormally low pricepoint, I bought it anyway because I was on a budget. But I still had a lot of questions. Would it have…
