My husband and I bought these for touring. We have been waiting to try a bike to bike communicator because of mixed reviews in the past. We bought the Interphones and our expectations were greatly surpassed. The clarity is amazing and the range is excellent. We lost connection once because of distance and one button push and you are reconnected. The one-time-only pairing and learning to reconnect takes a little patience to learn but once you do it is very easy. The sound is remarkably clear and the external noise cancelling is excellent. Neither one of us could hear each other's engine noise. Being duplex you can dialog, you don't have to do the one person at a time "over" speech. It's very cool. Get them, you'll like them!
