Intercom Advice
My daughter and I like to go out on the bike as often as the weather and the wife allow.
I have been looking around at intercoms etc but cannot decide which is best or best value for money etc. It needs to simple to operate for my daughter who is 9 and comfortable etc. Any ideas advice / experience in this area etc. P.S i am not made of money so budget - ish is best. P.P.S needs to be two way |

it was a while ago, but lidl swap their 'themes' every week, and it'll be a motorbike week soon no doubt. i think they print all the details on their website.

Tried a couple of cheapo ones and they were pants. Could not handle noise at high speed. Used a autocom one on my old VFR and it was superb. could play radio to and modern ones can hook up to a phone (so there's a good reason for not getting one)
You get what you pay for, I guess. |

I tried a cheap set which waas very uncomfortable (plastic earphone in your ear) and useless over 40mph. I bought an Autocom and it is a great bit of kit - can still hear each other at stupid speeds, even with earplugs in. The stereo sound quality when listening to an MP3 is excellent - the music automatically gets quiter when either of you speak.
