Reporting back after riding with it.Sound - 4/5 loses some bass when going faster than 85, below that it's crystal clear fantastic audio really but that could be due to my helmet (not the quietest).Ease of use while riding - 5/5 ridiculously easy, voice control works well for dialling even at speed, changing sources and tracks becomes intuitive after a very short period of timeWeatherproofedness - so yesterday I rode through two bouts of monsoon style rain, rain that soaked through my goretex waterproofs. For 45ish minutes in each case and at high speeds. This thing was on the side of my helmet throughout stayed working and still worked for todays rideout.Battery life - so charged it overnight 2 days ago, yesterday it spent about an hour and a half on, playing music, made one short phone call and listened to the radio for a stint. Today about the same amount of time again listening to bluetooth audio so I'd say 3 hrs use and I've not heard the 15 minute battery warning yet.Comfort - 3.5/5 this is probably just my problem but the hjc is-max I have fits really well, the slight indent caused by the clamp and the speakers on the left mean that when I wear glasses if I put them on properly (arms over ears) my earlobes are crushed, not unbearably but it is an annoying ache.Without my glasses I think they'd fit properly and are probably quite comfortable.Remote - 3.5/5 when it works it works really well. Responds swiftly and had suffered through the monsoon rain just like the head set.However I have found it difficult to push buttons a few times, well rather it didn't seem to pick up my button pushes and required repeated attempts every now and again.It also prevents me from pulling my clutch all the way into the handlebar, doesn't matter as it still properly disengages the transmission but does feel a little weird initially. This again could be down to me mounting it incorrectly but it's comfy where it is.Phone call clarity - hearing them 5/5, them hearing me 5/5, no shouting required travelling 70mph call was placed using voice control first time, they thought I was standing next to a road, rather than riding on one. Will try and record an mp3 voicemail and upload it if I remember at some point.Downside, I had music on max volume as one of my mp3s was recorded at a low volume, switched to phone mode, hit voice control and almost got deafened by the voice prompt, thankfully turning it down was quick and easy via the remote.Overall first impressions are pretty good, worth the £35.99 I paid for it most definitely, unfortunately I've nothing else to compare it too beyond headphones and it's a hell of a lot better than that.Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk[/quote good report then bloke, as for loosing the bass over 85mph perhaps you are going faster than the speed of sound
