FreedConn’s lightweight Flip Up Dual Visor Helmet comes with an impressive built-in Bluetooth communication system. The helmet offers all the basics of a Bluetooth system, like FM radio and voice dial, and it also allows 2 to 3 rider pairing.
The front face of this modular helmet can be easily opened with the touch of a button and it locks into place in the open position. The visors too are easy to operate.
FreedConn’s design has a sleek, sci-fi look and is available in glossy grey, red, blue, black, white and matte black. All these qualities combined, the FreedConn Flip Up Dual Visor Helmet is the kind of product you’d want to buy in matching pairs.

Features
Solid Shell
The helmet is available in shell sizes of M, L, and XL. It is made of ABS thermoplastic polymer which makes it light as well as durable.
Since the helmet’s Bluetooth system will be used for communication between paired helmets and for making phone calls, it will have to be kept on even while waiting at traffic signals or traffic jams. At these times, the lightweight shell will reduce the toll on the user’s head and shoulders. This will also provide more comfort on long rides.
Visor Features
The FreedConn helmet’s clear visor provides good visibility in all light conditions. It can be easily flipped up with the front face of this modular helmet.
The inner sun visor can be raised and lowered according to the users need with the help of a smooth side slide system. It works well for a quick flip as well. The sun visor provides good wrap-around coverage without affecting visibility. The field of view it gives is also quite wide and ensures good peripheral vision.
Ventilation
FreedConn provides all the basic ventilation that you would expect from a modular helmet. It has two air-intake vents at the top of the helmet and also near the chin bar. This provides ample airflow when the helmet is in full front cover position.
The ventilation system that FreedConn offers can keep you cool and comfortable, especially in regions where you have warm weather conditions.
Bluetooth System
The helmet’s most important feature is its innovative and yet, easy-to-install (and easy to use) Bluetooth intercom communication system.
It supports voice dial, FM radio, and easy pairing with another FreedConn helmet. It is waterproof and all adjustments, such as pairing (with your phone or another helmet), adjusting volume, and changing FM channels can be easily done using the helmet’s Multifunction Button. It only takes a few seconds and clear instructions are given in the user manual.
The Bluetooth receiver that comes with the helmet can be easily inserted into the port at the back of the helmet and does not need to be removed for charging. The charging source can be directly connected to the helmet.
The Bluetooth system also has a minimum range of 500 meters. So, there will be perfect clarity in speech between driver and passenger once their helmets are paired.
The universal Bluetooth connectivity offered by the helmet’s Bluetooth 3.0 can keep you connected to a GPS system. Also, up to 3 helmets can be paired at a time, so the communication system will be quite handy for group trips.

User Reviews
The majority of the users of the FreedConn Flip Up Dual Visor Helmet are quite happy with their purchase. Most users have confirmed that the Bluetooth intercom communication system is excellent. The helmet is said to provide excellent clarity for music and FM.
A minor drawback that users have noted is that the audio for phone calls is not very loud, making it difficult to hear at high speeds. Also, the beep that the helmet makes every time the user switches from one Bluetooth function to the other is quite loud. Some users have found this to be very annoying, especially since this volume cannot be brought down.
The ventilation is okay and not a problem since users can flip up the front of the helmet if they feel uncomfortable. Noise levels can also be high sometimes.
One of the major problems that users have mentioned is the padding. There isn’t sufficient padding in the forehead region of the helmet and this makes it uncomfortable to wear for long durations. Similarly, a large number of users have found that the helmet’s overall size is smaller than the specified value (when compared to the sizes they have used in the past).

Conclusion
The FreedConn Flip Up Dual Visor Helmet with Built-in Bluetooth Intercom Communication System has just the right features and offers very good helmet to helmet Bluetooth pairing.
Apart from the Bluetooth, other features of the helmet are nothing out of the ordinary. They work well and get the job done, but there is nothing about them that stands out. However, a helmet that has superior ventilation and better protective features will not be able to provide a Bluetooth system this good without raising the price by a high value.
FreedConn’s helmet is an excellent choice if you’re just looking for a good Bluetooth system that doesn’t burn a hole in your wallet.
