I want to use this with my son for ATV riding. Can these mount in the helmet and simply talk back and forth? Hands free. No buttons to push to talk

yes. That is what I am doing, but on a motorcycle with girlfriend. The microphone is voice activated (VOX). They come "pre-paired" which means you wont even have to figure out how to make them connect to each other. They work right out of the box.
1693741
yes, you can do it, they are equiped with vox control and for intercom, you just need to talk

This is a good set if you are always going to be riding close but not if you are going to be out of site of the other they make a set specifically for group riders that goes for 1/2 mile or more. - but yes hands free and no buttons

Yes. No buttons to push unless you want to switch over to music or cell phone. They're designed for close range. Same vehicle. You'd probably have to both be on the same ATV for them to work reliably.

Don't see why not if the helmet is fully enclosed around the ears - if your ears are exposed then no, as you need a place to mount the speakers inside the helmet/next to your ears.

I believe, and if anyone else has a better answer you're wlecome to respond, they would have to be bluetooth capable in order to work like that. These headsets are RF and I think you'd have problems.

I don't see why you couldn't plug earbud/headphones up to the DUO itself. I think that would work better if you used an open face helmet, except that the mic would be a problem.

They work best with less wind noise. I have a Fly Full Face Racing helmet, fully enclosed. My wife has a Bell 3/4 face helmet. Your helmet needs to have slots for the speakers. On voice activation my wife's radio would start transmitting wind noise around 45+ mph. We have since switched to Uclear Bluetooth Communicators.

I installed 4 of these in my dirt bike helmet and my grandkids helmets. My midland GXT1050 has voice activation. When I hit higher rpm's it activates talk, so all they hear is me going through the gears. With voice activation off and use the manual switch, it works ok. I have everything mounted in my dirt bike suit. We use 3 of these on dirt bikes and one on a 4 wheeler. The 4 wheeler has everything mounted on it with the cable running up to the helmet. If you are riding fast, not having to push a button to talk is nice.

I use these for riding dirt bikes in the woods, and we attach them to our backpacks with no headsets. They are good for making sure everybody in your party doesn't get lost taking a wrong turn when stopped. That's it. You can not really use these to speak between street bike riders with headsets attached. For that purpose I use helmet units that have the speakers in the helmet. Look at Scala or Sena if that is what your after. Yes, they are more expensive, but you will only be frustrated trying to make these work for that purpose.

Yes. It would be awesome to communicate to another rider or passenger. You can also answer your cell phone, listen to your music from your phone or other bluetooth device, have three-way conversations, and use a bluetooth GPS unit. We use ours for communicating while riding on out motorcycles. We have had ours for a few years and really love them. Hope this is helpful.

I've had no problem with the Bluetooth staying connected. Only problem I've had is the speaker volume is very low when connected with another helmet.

my recollection is that it is specifically designed to be used w an aux port. I have only used it with a ski helmet, and it works fine that way--I think you would be safe. Amazon will take it back if you are not happy with it. Mic works well on my helmet even though it points away from my mouth.

Yes you can certainly do. I ordered many types of headphones for my kids and they are currently using it. sometimes I feel crazy if they use it while I am driving :)

I am sorry, I didn't try the chat volume at all since I don't play video games. I do believe you can control them independently, coz I found a small volume adjuster for the master volume that I didn't know about when I wrote the review, that makes volume adjustment easier.

I bought a set to use on our boat and they work perfectly. You turn each unit on by holding two buttons down at the same time. Once they are both on, you sync the units by holding one of the buttons on each unit until a light flashes, then release and press a button on either of the units. Once synced, you just talk without pressing any buttons - totally hands free. A child could use it easily. They say the range is about 50'.Hope this helps.

Without Headset is this not possible, the button VOX "free speaking" exist only on the headset. The devise has only a button PTT (push to talk).

Oh yes. The speakers are to be set inside your helmet over your ears and are plugged into the controller module. They also incorporate the directional microphone. The whole system works Very well for me; I use it skiing.

You can, but it requires an audio cable. These headsets are not bluetooth compatible. I believe that it came with a short audio cable. Long enough cable to keep my phone in my pocket to listen to music. It is usually frowned upon in industrial settings to listen to audio (OSHA regulations), and the cord is a dead giveaway.

Can NOT talk and listen to music at the same time which I feel is a big disadvantage. The music is whatever you have paired the headset to. On the Victory motorcycle it required 2 bluetooth dongles to connect to 2 helmet headsets.
